Pitch Perfect 3 is silly, campy fun and a
great way to spend a winter two hours. Hang out with a tub of popcorn, listen
to tunes, laugh, and come out smiling. The Pitches are back in fine form.
Well, the Bellas are out of college and in the real world,
and that’s a bummer. Anna Kendrick’s a music producer but feeling discouraged
with the kids and crap she has to deal with. She quits. Now what?
Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson – so fabulous. Her throwaway lines are
gems) is bumbling along. At a Bellas reunion, the ladies all agree they’ll do
anything to sing together again. How about a USO show? They have a connection
and suddenly are landing at a base in Spain. Hilarity ensues. Of course there’s
a riff-off with the other bands (and they have instruments…shocking!)
Are there love connections? Yes. These ladies are on a
military base for goodness sake.
Are there some daddy issues? John Lithgow appears from a
long ago past to connect with Amy. But his nefarious past proves troublesome.
Just go with the plot line. Rebel is vulnerable and strong.
Pitch Perfect 3 has awesome mash-ups and
plenty of girl power. Don’t judge. I got my five dollars of matinee
entertainment. And hey, can’t go wrong with a George Michael finale tune
– Freedom 90. Seriously, so uplifting. The Bellas are fine and ready for their
own freedom in the world. Sing it loud!
Glad you enjoyed it but definitely not my type of movie.
ReplyDeletenope. But hey would your wife like it?
DeleteI like Rebel Wilson..the few things I've seen her in anyway....although I don't much care for the musical genre of movies.
ReplyDeletethis is probably not for you, but Rebel is funny
DeleteA great way to spend a winter's evening watching a film you liked.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
indeed. Silly fun and not much thinking. That can be a positive
DeleteIt got bashed by critics, but most have said it is fun.
ReplyDeleteby the time you get to a third in a series, critics don't like it. Oh well. They miss out on the silly fun
DeleteI haven't talked my husband into watching the Pitch Perfect movies with me, but I'm hoping to make it happen one day.
ReplyDeleteI loved the first two movies in the series, so I'm sure I'd love this one, too. What's not to love? Some enjoyable singing, silly lines and a don't-have-to-think-too-hard plot. My kinda fun flick.
ReplyDeleteMusic and humor--sounds like a fun one to me!
