If Pitch Perfect is able to change our faith that initially does not believe that acapella is cool, I think Pitch Perfect 3 will have the opposite effect. Watching this movie makes me often eyerolling and saying, The movie is cheesy , chaotic, and pointless . The only quality material it offers is a collection of photos & videos in the credit title that captures the moments of togetherness of the Barden Bellas. Movies should be created from this section. Hey, this movie is our farewell with Barden Bellas ?
Faded has a unique world of fun from the universe Pitch Perfect , where acapella is considered part of the lifestyle of people and people can suddenly sing anytime and anywhere. Kay Cannon, who also wrote the script for the first and second films, chose to go frenzy in this cover movie by throwing the Bellas into action films, where Fat Amy ( Rebel Wilson ) had to beat the villains with the wok.
Or acapella no longer relevant probably because the Bellas have graduated from college and now have to deal with real life ? Real life is not always friendly. Beca ( Anna Kendrick ) eventually became a music producer, but it was better to stop than to produce a fierce musician. Chloe ( Brittany Snow ) did not really enjoy helping cattle. Cynthia ( Ester Dean ) has just killed hundreds of fake passengers in a flight simulation. And Fat Amy ... actually no problem with the status of unemployment, only the stalls "Fat Amy Winehouse".
No longer young and fresh is the conclusion they took while watching the acapella performance of their junior group headed by Emily ( Hailee Steinfeld ). But the Bellas feel the need to give one last performance. So when the chair of Aubrey ( Anna Camp ) sparked the idea of appearing on a USO tour - the one whose purpose was to entertain American soldiers scattered across the country - the Bellas soon packed their costumes that I thought were too small now.
But being a viewer is not that easy, because they have to compete with other groups. The winner will have a place as the opening artist for DJ Khaled (played by DJ Khaled himself with lebay, either acting lebay or indeed the original) which, according to this movie, seems to be level with Beyonce. Part of the story about this competition is unfortunately only handled half-hearted, so wasted potential rivalry between the Bellas who sing only use the mouth against three other bands who sing using the mouth and musical instruments.
cowboy rocker, and contemporary DJ. You are forced to step aside for the sake of Fat Amy ( John Lithgow with a strange accent).
Somehow the movie is more interested in the subplot of Fat Amy's papa appearance which then ushered us to the sequence where Fat Amy ran and pounded up the thugs on a yacht while the other Bellas sang "Toxic" Britney Spears to distract. The musical aspect is withdrawn to be replaced by a makeshift romance subplot, violent family conflicts, and the act of auxiliary agents.
What will we get from this movie, I'm not so sure. The row of songs is not enough, let alone memorable. And this is the only reason we watch the movie is not it? Looks like the makers are not interested anymore. There is one song where Beca et al singing using the current music tool is a loop machine , but I am willing to swap the 10 loop songs like that with one song "Cups" are amazingly small.
Somehow the story also, Elizabeth Banks and John Michael Higgins re-appear, not as a commentator again but a documentary filmmaker who plans to cover the fall of the Barden Bellas. Their comments no longer stop at the level of "teasing", but go to the "dirty" level. Wilson still gives us insanity that will make us poisoned, but the Bellas and their cheerful friendship have lost energy. Maybe they're tired
