Movie NationRoger MooreDec 28, 2017
“Pitch 3” is a movie as predictable as the big explosion and escape that opens the picture, as the lame script-crutch “Three Weeks Earlier” flashback, as the assorted “love interests” cooked up for this installment, as trite as Fat Amy’s description of how she became estranged from her “dodgy” crook of a father.

The Seattle TimesMoira MacdonaldDec 20, 2017
It’s just the same movie over and over, until the end of time and everybody dies, in which case “Pitch Perfect 45: A-Ca-Wait-Are-We-Dead?” might be a thing. Read full review

USA TodayBrian TruittDec 20, 2017
The original Pitch Perfect worked so well because it was about the friendship of the Bellas amid the wonderfully weird world of singing dorks who didn't get the memo that they weren’t cool. That's now long gone, and what’s left is just way off-key. Read full review

Women deserve a better vehicle for demonstrating the power of female solidarity than this empty money grab. Read full review

VoxAlissa WilkinsonDec 21, 2017
The new third entry in the series isn’t interested in character development or logical storylines or anything resembling innovation. It’s lazy and limp and profoundly weird, and not in any meaningful way a “good movie.” Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckDec 19, 2017
Whatever charms the first two movies possessed (and they were considerable thanks to the talented and appealing cast) have been thoroughly lost in this soulless installment. Read full review

Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallDec 21, 2017
Pitch Perfect 3 totally eclipses the heart of a charming franchise, turning the scrappy Bellas a capella posse into needy Charlie’s Angels wannabes. It’s a movie taking popularity for granted, a finale saying goodbye with a "you’re welcome." Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperDec 20, 2017
Pitch Perfect 3 feels like an encore nobody asked for. Read full review

San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubDec 20, 2017
And then there’s the real problem with Pitch Perfect 3: The best thing about the first movie — the singing — feels like an afterthought. Read full review

TheWrapDan CallahanDec 19, 2017
Wilson’s comic routines here set her apart from the others in the cast, and they more than amply hint that she should be set loose in her own vehicles far, far away from the other girls and all their “Glee”-like karaoke. Read full review

Paste MagazineAndrew CrumpDec 26, 2017
Everything about Pitch Perfect 3’s foundation is openly half-baked. If it winked at its own indifference anymore than it already does, you might mistake its indifference for outright contempt. Read full review

Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlDec 21, 2017
The Bellas aren’t invested in the film’s competition, and the filmmakers’ aren’t invested in it, and you probably won’t be, either. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangDec 20, 2017
The trailer for Pitch Perfect 3 makes it look and sound like a comedy, which puts me in the unfortunate position of announcing that it is nothing of the kind. It's a tragedy in four-part harmony. Read full review
