Pitch Perfect 3 does have elements that reconnect you to the charm of the original idea, but it's so out of tune that you are almost thankful for the final curtain call.

The third round of the Bellas is basically a bland, very-occasionally-bubbling-to-the-surface, not-enough-laughs comedy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 26, 2019

I also really liked the closing musical number quite a little bit, and if Pitch Perfect 3 ends up being the Bellas' a cappella swan song, for my part I can't help but feel the entire group goes out on something of a satisfying high note.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 28, 2017

Pitch Perfect 3 is so breezy it's completely weightless, but it manages to deliver just enough of the goods.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 26, 2017

A-ca-trocious.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 26, 2017

A typically winning central turn from Kendrick and some Pitch Perfect staples just about save the day.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 22, 2017

Pitch Perfect 3 moves too much into comedy-action territory to truly feel like the scrappy musical this trilogy started out being.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 22, 2017

This swan song is in serious need of some Auto-Tune.

| Original Score: D | Dec 22, 2017

When a franchise descends to jokes about how it's run out of ideas, and setting things on fire, not once but twice, it's one movie past time to stop.

| Original Score: B- | Dec 22, 2017

As a whole, Pitch Perfect 3 feels like an encore nobody asked for.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 22, 2017

The movie is best when it's focused on the music (prepare to hear the dorkiest version of "Toxic" more times than is healthy), not the silly subplots that have a way of sprouting up around third chapters.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 21, 2017

The final pitch is a big miss.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 21, 2017

The wafer-thin plot barely sustains the songs and romance.

Although I do think PP fans will be satisfied with the finale, let's hope this is the last redux for these pitches.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 21, 2017

Aca-nough already.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 21, 2017

These are presumably independent young adults - most of the lead actresses are in their 30s now - continuing to wrestle with 18-year-old problems. And when they finally take the stage, it's hard to care.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 21, 2017

An off-key dismantling of what made the concept work in the first place.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 21, 2017

[Rebel Wilson's] sassy fightin' moves during a gleefully preposterous hostage rescue jumpstart "Pitch Perfect 3" when even the trilogy capper's signature a cappella sometimes can't.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 21, 2017

A coarse, ugly, pointlessly action-packed reminder that every modestly sharp and amusing property must eventually be converted, by the commercial logic of Hollywood, into a soul-killing cash grab.

Full Review | Dec 21, 2017

With a plot as unfocused as its freshly graduated characters, the shaggy "Pitch Perfect 3" gets by on karaoke logic: What makes for a good time isn't the song you sing, but the company you keep.
