Universal Studios brings the third and final installment of the “Pitch Perfect” series and I can say: "Thank God, It´s Over!"
After their successful win the world championship and graduated from College, The Barden Bellas conformed by Beca Michell (Anna Kendrick), Patricia “Fat Amy” Hobart (Rebel Wilson), Chloe Beale (Brittany Snow), Aubrey Posen (Anna Camp), Emily Junk (Hailee Steinfield), Lily Onakuramara (Hana Mae Lee), Cynthia-Rose Adams (Ester Dean), Florencia “Flo” Fuentes (Chrissie Fit), Jessica Smith (Kelley Jakie) and Ashley Jones (Shelley Regner) decide to split and have different jobs they all hate.
One day they all get invited to a Barden Bella´s reunion by Emily, who is now a senior Barden Bellas leader.
At that reunion Aubrey has the idea of performing at the upcoming USO competition, which represents in case they win the opportunity of touring with DJ Khaled.
Knowing that this would mean a once in a lifetime opportunity, The Bellas will do whatever it´s necessary to win the competion but other hands will be on their way. Not only that chance is on the line, but their reputation is at stake as well.
The problem that I saw in “Pitch Perfect 3” is the fact that the movie became to repetitive and from the beginning of the film it was obvious what was going to happen.
The first film is a sweet and tender teen movie that did work, the second it´s ok but nothing spectacular but this one it was completely unnecessary.
The major problem of this film was the screenplay written Kay Cannon and Mike White, who I was surprised when I saw he was credited on this film since he wrote two good movies with “Beatriz at Dinner” and “Brad´s Status”, which he also directed.
I couldn´t believe that he would be part of this film since it was atrocious. I understand that he tried everything he could to write a decent film but it just didn´t work.
I also felt the movie was a total lack of disrespect towards an actor like John Lithgow, who plays Fat Amy´s father. I didn´t believe his character at all and I feel bad since I consider him one of the most prolific, talented actors in Hollywood today and here was completely wasted.
The directing was also weak by Trish Sie. The way that she directed her cast was totally unconvincing and was focused on making the film look good but she couldn´t´achieve that either.
“Pitch Perfect 3” is the result of an idiotic screenplay with a bad direction. There was nothing that I appreciated in this film.
Like I mentioned before the first two films I enjoyed but here this wasn´t the case. The villains don´t work at all in this film and if you don`t have interesting villains, most likely your movie is going to fail.
“Pitch Perfect 3” is one of the worst movies of 2017, I cannot recommend it for any reason at all. One word of advice if you watched the first and second, do not watch this one. Trust me, you will be disappointed big time.
