Review

This is it, everyone! This is the 500th review for my blog! Be sure to write any comments when you’re done looking at this milestone review. Meanwhile, I didn’t really care much for the 'Pitch Perfect' series so have not seen the first two installments about an all-female group of singers competing in musical conventions. This setting reminded me of a chorus group where my mum was one of the members and they all participate in acapella singing. There’s an equivalent of the fictional Barden Bellas convention in Australia where they compete to sing in America. Its called Sweet Adelines International. Though not quite revolutionary, 'PITCH PERFECT 3' did however convince me there are some surprises added to this sequel as rare bonuses. The humour is productive and funny and there is some unexpected action involved near end of the storyline.

The actors and actresses are doing great in keeping the plot of the sequel intact, especially because the old cast from the previous 'Pitch Perfect' movies are back in the spotlight. There is also terrific singing by the actresses in their cover songs. In fact,  I considered one of these covers to be the best and was instantly better than the original when it was performed in the film's climax.

Good but not great, 'PITCH PERFECT 3' is at least an entertaining film that was meant for the huge crowd. I could at least expect some more of the sequels of this kind when I re-watch it on home video. Happy 500!!

Star rating: (7/10) Good Movie
