Pitch Perfect 3 (Blu-ray Review) – The Bellas are back for a final acapella adventure

April 30, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Anna Camp, Brittany Snow, Hailee Steinfeld
Director: Trish Sie
Running Time: 93 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: April 23rd 2018 (UK)

When the plot of a sequel is that the characters are being sent off on a holiday, it’s usually a good time to start to worry. It’s typically the point in a franchise when the makers have run out of ideas and so they put the characters in a new environment in the hope that people won’t notice that they couldn’t really decide what the movie should be about.

That’s pretty much true of Pitch Perfect 3, where the former Barden Bellas get the opportunity to participate in a USO military tour, performing with other bands in different countries. To add a little random competition to the mix, the best of those bands will be chosen by DJ Khaled to open for him on his tour. That’s the cue for the Bellas to go into crisis of confidence of mode as they realise that being the best at acapella-ing doesn’t necessarily mean they can go toe-to-toe with an all-female pop-rock group, a country artist and a couple of rappers.

New Pitch Perfect 3 Trailer – Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson & the Bellas are back

September 25, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After the surprise success of Pitch Perfect, Universal set up the sequel on the presumption that would be it for Anna Kendrick and co., and that if there was any future in the franchise, it would be with a new generation – hence why they brought in Hailee Steinfeld. Then Pitch Perfect 2 became a huge hit, grossing $300 million, and suddenly the studio wanted a third film with the original cast – and that’s just what we’re getting.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Now graduated from college and out in the real world where it takes more than a cappella to get by, the Bellas return in Pitch Perfect 3, the next chapter in the beloved series that has taken in more than $400 million at the global box office.

‘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.

‘Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Hailee Steinfeld, Brittany Snow, Anna Camp, Hana Mae Lee, Ester Dean, Alexis Knapp, Chrissie Fit, Kelley Jakle, Shelley Regner, Elizabeth Banks and John Michael Higgins all return and are joined by additions including John Lithgow and Ruby Rose. Pitch Perfect 3 is again produced by Paul Brooks of Gold Circle Entertainment and Max Handelman & Elizabeth Banks of Brownstone Productions, and is directed by Trish Sie (Step Up All In).’

The film will be in cinemas on December 20th. [Read more…]

Pitch Perfect 2 (DVD Review)

September 20, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Hailee Steinfeld, Brittany Snow, Skylar Astin
Director: Elizabeth Banks
Running Time: 110 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: September 21st 2015 (UK)

The Pitch Perfect movies are proof positive that despite many people arguments to the contrary, originality isn’t the key to an entertaining film. Indeed, both films are just about as clichéd as it’s possible to get story-wise, following tried and tested formulas for this sort of film. However, despite that – or actually arguably partly because of the oddly comforting nature of that – they are huge amounts of fun.

This time around things have moved on a few years and rather than being a freshman, Beca (Anna Kendrick) is now getting ready to graduate and thinking about the future. Her a cappella group, The Barden Bellas, are now three time national champions, until disaster strikes when ‘Fat’ Amy (Rebel Wilson) suffers a major wardrobe malfunction while performing for the President, which results in the group’s tour being cancelled and threatened with never being able to compete again.

New Pitch Perfect 2 Trailer – Anna Kendrick & co. make a song & dance about it

February 10, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

pitch-perfect-2-poster2Things are getting patriotic and a lot of fun in the new trailer for Pitch Perfect 2, which suggests this may be just as entertaining as the first movie, which became a surprise hit in 2012.

The stakes are raised in the sequel with Anna Kendrick and co. heading off to the world a cappella championships – which seem far bigger and more rock ‘n’ roll that you might expect. It’s also great to see Rebel Wilson’s Fat Amy back in action, and it looks like she’ll be just as entertaining this time around.

Along with returning stars such as Anna Kendrick, Skylar Astin, Rebel Wilson, Adam DeVine, Anna Camp, Brittany Snow and Elizabeth Banks, Hailee Steinfeld joins the ranks, with the actress said to have come on board in preparation with a possible Pitch Perfect 3.

The movie will be in cinemas May 15th. [Read more…]

Brittany-Snow-Pitch-PerfectA few days ago Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson both finalised deals to return for Pitch Perfect 2. Now one more member of the original cast has signed up, as Deadline reports that Brittany Snow has also ben confirmed to reprise her role.

Elizabeth Banks is set to make her directorial debut with the sequel, and will also be back in front of the camera, reprising her part.
