This song is about “not being a Barbie doll” and being empowered and so forth, but the choreography is the usual pop stripper moves, and the girls are all dressed in a very Barbie-like way, which underlines the blatant “I’ll have my cake and eat it, too” of so much modern pop music.Īubrey (Anna Camp), who suffers from stage fright, blithely mentions that her high-ranking military father “basically killed Osama bin Laden” and can get them a gig entertaining the troops.

A short a cappella rendition on the soundtrack of the main musical theme from “Sex and the City” is a somewhat pointed reminder that these girls aren’t going to be living any kind of fantasy life - until the USO plot kicks in.

This third installment begins with a manic performance by the Bellas of the old Britney Spears hit “Toxic” while on board a ship. The Bellas aren’t sent to Afghanistan or Iraq, but to Spain, Italy, and France, presumably because those countries are somewhat pleasanter to visit and shoot in. As such, it initially struggles to find ways to keep them together before sending them all on a multi-country USO tour. “Pitch Perfect 3” takes place after the main female characters - members of a competitive a cappella group called the Bellas - have graduated from college.
