Pitch Perfect 3 (2017)

In Groundhog Day, Bill Murray's character spends one of his time loops desperately trying to re-make Andie MacDowell's character fall in love with him, reaching shrill levels of rising desperation.

That's what Pitch Perfect 3 feels like.

Or to put it another way, if the original Pitch Perfect was a steak dinner, Pitch Perfect 3 would be a Big Mac and fries. With too much ketchup.

The film manages to be occasionally funny, and there are some decent musical pieces, but the story is far from aca-amazing, more like below aca-average. It's the Pitch Perfect version of Three Men and a Little Lady, or Police Academy: Mission to Moscow.

It's still watchable, but ultimately it was a Pitch Perfect too far.
