ConsequenceDanielle SolzmanDec 24, 2017
Pitch Perfect 3 is hardly a perfect movie, but seeing these women singing and having fun on screen together for the final time is frequently a lot of fun. Read full review

The best thing I can say about it is that it’s not another retread of its predecessor. Read full review

The New York TimesTeo BugbeeDec 20, 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. Read full review

Washington PostSusan WloszczynaDec 20, 2017
Although Kendrick’s pint-size dynamo once pushed the Bellas beyond their la-la-la comfort zone, she basically sleepwalks through this third go-round. Read full review

Ends with a sentimentality I didn’t buy — the Bellas don’t seem to particularly care about each other outside of a competitive setting, so why should we? Read full review

The PlaylistKimber MyersDec 19, 2017
It’s not unpleasant, thanks to the energetic dialogue and songs, but it lacks the fun and focus that made “Pitch Perfect” such a surprise hit worthy of repeat viewings. Read full review

Pitch Perfect 3 tears up the rule book for the franchise but sadly all the rules in it are what made the original work so well and the second film work well enough. Read full review

IndieWireKate ErblandDec 19, 2017
Some of the goofier bits from Pitch Perfect 2 has been excised, and this latest entry focuses more firmly on the bonds between the ladies after its somewhat mean-tipped predecessor, though it never hits the girl-powered highs of the original. But mostly, it’s yet another unholy mashup of disparate tones that’s never as fun or frisky as the original material. Read full review

The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerDec 19, 2017
It’s half-assed in every way but cast retention; almost all the major female characters return. Read full review

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

The TelegraphTim RobeyDec 19, 2017
There’s nothing you could call an actual emotion in store, just an awful lot of face-pulling. Read full review

Screen DailyTim GriersonDec 19, 2017
The new film is proudly aware of how ludicrous it is...and the sunnily silly plot mostly functions to get the Bellas to their next song-and-dance number or comedic set piece. Yet, it’s impossible to miss the film’s wheezing tone. Read full review

EmpireHelen O'HaraDec 19, 2017
A tired retread of better jokes in the first two movies, this drags along to an admittedly heartwarming conclusion. But it’s a good thing this caps the trilogy because it’s coasting on fumes. Read full review
