After the highs of winning the World Championships, the Bellas find themselves split apart and discovering there aren't job prospects for making music with your mouth. But when they get the chance to reunite for an overseas USO tour, this group of awesome nerds will come together to make some music, and some questionable decisions, one last time.
I was a great fan of PP1 & PP2, so it was a real let-down to see this. The story is weak, they haven't chosen good songs to perform, Rebel Wilson is just Rebel Wilson and John Lithgow adds the coup de grâce with the weakest performance of his life. Even so, I've been gracious and rated it 6 stars because the other cast members act well with the material they've been given. I won't say "don't bother" because everyone sees things with their own eyes, and even knowing what I know now, I'd have watched it anyway - the final scene is a fitting farewell.
