Pitch Perfect 3

The Barden Bellas are back!

Having won the world championships and passed the torch on to a new group of Bellas, Becca (Anna Kendrick – Into the Woods), Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson - Bridesmaids), Chloe (Brittany Snow - Hairspray), and the gang have all been moving on with their lives – entering the world of work, careers and ‘serious’ relationships. (Some even more-or-less successfully.)

However, reuniting to support the newest Bellas, they realise how much they’ve missed singing with each other, and that they’d do anything for one last show together. Their chance arrives when they step in last-minute to an overseas USO tour, where they learn a record label is watching and ready to handout a record contract to the best performers. If they win this, they’d be able to continue singing together – forever! However, competition is steep. The other groups even sing their own songs and play instruments - acca-scuse me!

You could criticise this film for not being as good as the first, but then again - how could it be? Most importantly, Emily Banks and John Michael Higgins return as Gail and John to provide their inimitable style of cutting, over-the-top and highly inappropriate commentating that, let’s be honest, always brings the belly laughs. If you’ve watched the first two, you’ll know that light-hearted fun and a catchy repertoire are the perfect start to the weekend, and this film will not let you down.
