Critic Reviews

The Guardian - Steve Rose

Dec 19, 2017

So many movies end with trite sentiments about “family” and “sisterhood” but it doesn’t feel forced here. It looks like these performers are genuinely enjoying themselves, and it’s infectious. Read full review

Entertainment Weekly - Leah Greenblatt

Dec 19, 2017

Mostly this is all just pretext for dreamy postcard shots of Europe, a metric ton of slapstick, and as many highly specific vocal riff-offs as one empty airplane hangar can handle. Read full review

Total Film - Jamie Graham

Fans will find just enough heart-swelling moments involving friendships and family to enjoy one last group hug. Read full review

The A.V. Club - Jesse Hassenger

Dec 19, 2017

It’s half-assed in every way but cast retention; almost all the major female characters return. Read full review

Empire - Helen O'Hara

Dec 19, 2017

A tired retread of better jokes in the first two movies, this drags along to an admittedly heartwarming conclusion. But it’s a good thing this caps the trilogy because it’s coasting on fumes. Read full review

Slant Magazine - Richard Scott Larson

Women deserve a better vehicle for demonstrating the power of female solidarity than this empty money grab. Read full review

Los Angeles Times - Justin Chang

The trailer for Pitch Perfect 3 makes it look and sound like a comedy, which puts me in the unfortunate position of announcing that it is nothing of the kind. It's a tragedy in four-part harmony. Read full review

Pitch Perfect 3 is a great film. It may even be the best one yet. Rebel Wilson remains the best thing about these films.

The Bellas are back! To me these movies have always been about friendship, family, and finding your place in the world.

To me these movies have always been about friendship, family, and finding your place in the world. The first Pitch Perfect showed the characters coming together to form an unbreakable bond. The second forced them to deal with going their separate ways. The third... really doesn't have anything like that. Each Bella has already begun carving their way through life. While not entirely happy, they're functioning after college. However, they do miss each other. So with no new emotional ground to cover Pitch Perfect 3 just says to heck with it and reunites everyone for fun. While decidedly less heartfelt this final show is worth watching. The series' tongue is just as sharp as ever.

The musical performances are still delightful. Trish Sie's direction is light, poppy, and fun. Every character's personality comes together to bring a wide variety of laughs. While everyone was able to return for the final outing, the key players are still here. The newcomers fit right in. The plot takes something of a hit. The whole competition aspect isn't as exciting as before and the new foes aren't as memorable as those who came before even with the likes of Ruby Rose leading the opposition. There's also a somewhat ill-advised turn towards an action movie in the final act, complete with an explosion. As dumb as it was to watch Fat Amy kicking crap out of armed guards, we do get an absolutely stunning rendition of Britney Spear's "Toxic" as compensation.

All in all it's probably the weakest of what is now my new favorite film trilogy, but it's just so good to be reunited with the girls one last time. I grew to love these characters over the course of the last two movies and will miss them fiercely. In a lot of ways they're my family too. So despite being sad that my time with The Bellas has come to an end, I'm happy because their last performance didn't disappoint. Okay, I better end this review before I start crying. It's the last call, pitches. Don't miss it.… Expand

Fans of the previous films will welcome the old gang, as they hit Europe for songs and thin plots. Every character gets a few quick story beats with Anna Kendrick as the leader. But Rebel Wilson's comic style carries more of the weight (pun intended).

The commentators (John Michael Higgins & Elizabeth Banks) are following them around to make a documentary, but their comments seem more mean that funny. The Bellas sing their lite pop tunes all over the place with a few numbers getting some staging, but none of it is very elaborate. Even though this sequel isn't original in any way, there's still full of youthful energy and spunky fun .… Expand

I was not expecting high art when I rented it, and so I was not disappointed to discover that it was just a goofy, pleasant diversion. The plot is ridiculous, the jokes often are crude, but the singing and choreography were energetic and polished.

The plot is ridiculous, the jokes often are crude, but the singing and choreography were energetic and polished. I saw the sequel first in a movie theater and the original on the computer a few days later. My original purpose for watching the movies was to learn more about the a cappella pop singing phenomenon that seemed to be sweeping through middle schools, high schools, and colleges. (I'm a classically trained choral conductor.) I can't say I learned a huge amount about the creative process that underlies the arranging of pop songs--especially the mash-ups--but I was very entertained by the movies. Pitch Perfect apparently is going to be the last of the sequels, and it was a worthy finale to the trilogy.… Expand

This thing was always a onetime deal. I’m aware everybody knows why this became a trilogy but it’s quite obvious there isn’t really substance here. This is pretty much the Step-Up franchise of singing. I'm quite glad it’s finally over.

Pitch Perfect 3 was the first not so good movie in the franchise. As it comes together in the end (like the all do) it's 2/3's are just annoying in every way.

The singing is the lone highlight of the film but the script is vapid and nonsensical. Just about everything between the musical numbers is a waste of time. There are a few funny parts but the terrible plot drags the entire thing down into the gutter.
