The first installment had a strong script and story lines. The second was over indulgent and tried to be more than it was. The third hops from one plot line to another, but has plenty of comedic gags and fun sound bites and singing to make it eminently watchable. If you're looking for an Oscar winner, this is not for you. If you're sat on a plane or home and want something easy and not too serious to watch then give this a go. It doesn't pretend to be anything more than it is. The cast is great and it romps along with no real sense, but is good fun none the less. I thought it was better that PP2.

The Bellas are back in what is clearly intended to be a final film, although the lure of the mighty buck is not something to be easily denied, so who knows.This time they are off to entertain the troops around the Mediterranean and, guess what, they find themselves in a contest again and, as usual, find themselves subject to hostile judgement from the two hostile commentators who, this time, are making a documentary. Add to the mix Fat Amy's Dad, who arrives on his luxury yacht to see his daughter perform, But he's not necessarily a very nice person...The plot here is the daftest yet. The girls are increasingly anonymous, with Rebel Wilson overwhelming everything, Anna Kendrick coming 2nd, Hailee Steinfeld 3rd, Brittany Snow 33rd, and the rest indistinguishable from each other. The very funny Hana Mae Lee as Lily gets distressingly little to do. John Lithgow gets to do an Australian accent which, in terms of accuracy, trails some distance behind Dick van Dyke's cockney one.The musical numbers are well arranged and (mostly) well staged, but I didn't find most of the songs very good: the hummability factor was low.

Sticking to its roots, this final and 3rd chapter was a pleasant watch with some great vocals, good entertainment and fun comedy. Great new cast members made the film feel that much more entertaining. It's a well deserved 9/10 from me

This is the third movie revolving around the Barden Bella acapella group.There is choreography and singing, but into the mix a little danger and international intrigue courtesy of Fat Amy's dad who wants to reconnect her for selfish purposes.The songs are good, it's great to see the gang back together again. The story, meh...it's the third one folks.Sing along, laugh and enjoy the frivolity. Worth the rental if you are a fan.
