Pitch Perfect 3 trailer has singing, dance numbers & explosions

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

This holiday season will be filled with sci-fi epics and adventure flicks like STAR WARS and JUMANJI, but some people may want to swap out that hold-on-to-your-seat action for a little toe-tapping-in-the-aisle flair.  Those folks will surely be flocking to the theaters to see PITCH PERFECT 3, and if the first trailer promises anything it’s that they can expect the same infectious musical energy as the first. And also explosions.

Here is the plot 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.

Sooo…is it just me or was that trailer a little ridiculous? Like not ridiculously awesome like JOHN WICK, but more if  there was a ROCKY movie that had aliens coming down, forcing Sylvester Stallone to fight the alien king ridiculous. Of course there’s the musical competition thing, but why were they fighting bad guys and jumping off an exploding boat? Obviously those questions will be answered when the movie comes out, but it’s genuinely hurting my head to think about in what world that would be a plausible scenario for a movie about acapella singers. What's weird is I want to see it more now.

PITCH PERFECT 3 with Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow and Elizabeth Banks arrives this Christmas!
