If you love the Pitch Perfect series then you'll likely enjoy this one too. Theres some cringey/cheesy moments but also plently of laughs. The story doesnt stray too far from the first 2. It starts off with the Bellas down on their luck and they have to come together to regain their former glory. However, there was a B sideplot involving Fat Amy's dad and I kind of wish the film was more of that. One of my favourite scenes was Fat Amy kicking ass on that yacht (while still taking the time to eat a sandwich). It was so funny, but also just a different and refreshing way to take the series.
Also Skylar Astin nor Ben Platt return. As much as I like those actors and their characters, I do think it was a smart idea not to include them. I feel like with the second one they didnt really know what to do with them (particularly Astin's Jesse). And I cant imagine they would have really fit in this movie either except to be thrown in a scene or two as the "supportive boyfriend".
Overall it was fun and I enjoyed myself. No, it doesnt really add too much and you can genuinely tell where the film is going to go but its still a pleasant ride. I enjoyed it more than the second one, but the first one is still the best.
Also my favourite line in the film was when Lily introduces herself as Esther in a completely normal voice and then says "Satan finally left my body". I genuinely snorted so loud in theater.
