Pitch Perfect 3 (2017)

Plot of Pitch Perfect 3: Most of the Bellas accidentally convene at an event and realise they would like to perform again, thereafter they are recruited for a USO tour to an American base in Spain where it seems they will compete for a prize against two or three other bands, of various genres. The final event will be compared by DJ Khaled. Meanwhile Fat Amy’s father has reconnected with her, apparently missing her, but in time she finds out that he is just after her money held in trust in the Cayman Islands. In time when his game is up he kidnaps the group apart from Amy and Beca, and takes them to his sleek yacht. Meanwhile DJ Khaled has asked Beca to open his show. Out on the yacht Amy rescues the girls and they all jump into the water to be rescued, and are able to get to the finale, starring Beca and what do you know, the rest of the girls.

Content: No sex or nudity, but there might have been some drinking. They do go to parties. There are a lot of Bella performances and just a couple of moments of the other groups doing there stuff. During a party at DJ Khaled’s suite they set fire to it. On Amy’s father’s yacht Amy fights his bodyguards and wins, finally blowing up the ship, using a technique first seen in a Bourne film.

A View: No-one liked this film much but it still made a lot of money. They seemed to have substituted continuous performances by the young women for a plot which in the end is impressive but unsatisfactory. I would have liked to have seen the competition also performing, but they hardly got a chance. However, the final song Freedom! 90, was excellent, as it had to be, but probably not worth sitting through the whole film to get to it.

Fun Fact: Maybe this is only fun for me, but I looked up DJ Khaled and found a different world. His major label debut was ‘We The Best For Ever’.
