Principal photography on the film began in January 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia, and ended in April 2017. The film follows the Bellas, now graduated from college, reuniting for one final performance together during an overseas USO tour.
A sequel to Pitch Perfect 2 (2015) and the third and final installment in the Pitch Perfect franchise, the film features Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Hailee Steinfeld, Brittany Snow, Anna Camp, Hana Mae Lee, Ester Dean, Chrissie Fit, Alexis Knapp, Kelly Jakle, Shelley Regner, John Michael Higgins, and Elizabeth Banks all reprising their roles from previous installments, and they are joined by John Lithgow, DJ Khaled, Ruby Rose, Matt Lanter, and Guy Burnet. All in all, this is an encore that ruins the set, an addition that leaves no-one wanting more.Pitch Perfect 3 is a 2017 American musical comedy film directed by Trish Sie and written by Kay Cannon and Mike White. The love-interests from the first two films are all completely forgotten, and the ones introduced in this film slip in and out of the film without making any lasting impression. The great ensemble cast gets broken apart, because they have their own plot-lines now. It doesn't work as a drama about growing up, because of the other narratives and a yacht named "Fat Dingo B-tch". It is not youthful and fun, but in a constant state of post-graduation depression. This sequel forgets everything that made the first two films good. A fitting metaphor for the film, if there ever was one. Lithgow is hammy, and as a villain, he is not interested about a cappella singing (this film has very little of that), but instead only cares about money. We are now meant to believe that Fat Amy is a master ninja, just because the writers of the newest film decided that she is. None of the plot-lines flow together, and two of them destroy the inner realism of the franchise. The third plot-line, which hijacks the film, is about Fat Amy's absent father Fergus (John Lithgow), who returns into his daughter's life in order to steal a huge fortune, that Amy has inherited. Then there is the contest plot-line, which is a throwback to the first two films, and at this point such a narrative cliché, that the characters constantly break the 4th wall by joking about it. There is the drama about growing up, which we start with, and then touch upon during the last 10 minutes. IMDb credits three writers for this film, and it feels like three films happening at once. The contest however, much like everything else in the film, gets quickly forgotten. There is also a band contest, the winner of which gets to perform with DJ Khaled, who unfortunately is in the film. They long to sing together once more, and get an opportunity to go to Europe to entertain American troops. The Bellas of the first film have all graduated and have disappointing jobs. Youth and fun were key aspects of "Pitch Perfect", and the third film makes the decision to grow up, or at least tries to do it at times. I don't know who pitched the third film in the franchise, but this note absolutely destroys the group harmony and results into one tone-deaf film.
Both had loose narratives that made way for funny situations, but kept it just grounded enough for us to see traces of real life within these characters. The two films both knew what they had going: a talented ensemble cast with youthful energy, comedic plotlines built around relatable characters, and a unique focus point in a cappella singing. "Pitch Perfect" (2012) as well as "Pitch Perfect 2" (2015) were by no means revolutionary game-changers of cinema, but nevertheless enjoyable, well-crafted entertainment.
