Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring the shots of passports, Lilly's states her place of birth as Area 51, Nevada.
- GoofsIn Beca's final performance, she has a microphone. She pulls the Bellas up on stage with her. None of them were expecting to perform with her and therefore do not have a microphone. Beca sings into her microphone during her entire performance and even points her microphone toward Fat Amy when she is pulling her up toward the stage. The other Bellas can be heard perfectly despite not wearing microphones and there being no other microphones on the stage.
- Quotes

Youth and fun were key aspects of "Pitch Perfect", and the third film makes the decision to grow up, or at least tries to do it at times. The Bellas of the first film have all graduated and have disappointing jobs. They long to sing together once more, and get an opportunity to go to Europe to entertain American troops. There is also a band contest, the winner of which gets to perform with DJ Khaled, who unfortunately is in the film. The contest however, much like everything else in the film, gets quickly forgotten.
IMDb credits three writers for this film, and it feels like three films happening at once. There is the drama about growing up, which we start with, and then touch upon during the last 10 minutes. Then there is the contest plot-line, which is a throwback to the first two films, and at this point such a narrative cliché, that the characters constantly break the 4th wall by joking about it. The third plot-line, which hijacks the film, is about Fat Amy's absent father Fergus (John Lithgow), who returns into his daughter's life in order to steal a huge fortune, that Amy has inherited. None of the plot-lines flow together, and two of them destroy the inner realism of the franchise. We are now meant to believe that Fat Amy is a master ninja, just because the writers of the newest film decided that she is. Lithgow is hammy, and as a villain, he is not interested about a cappella singing (this film has very little of that), but instead only cares about money. A fitting metaphor for the film, if there ever was one.
This sequel forgets everything that made the first two films good. It is not youthful and fun, but in a constant state of post-graduation depression. It doesn't work as a drama about growing up, because of the other narratives and a yacht named "Fat Dingo B-tch". The great ensemble cast gets broken apart, because they have their own plot-lines now. They are not a group anymore. The love-interests from the first two films are all completely forgotten, and the ones introduced in this film slip in and out of the film without making any lasting impression.
All in all, this is an encore that ruins the set, an addition that leaves no-one wanting more.
