Anna Kendrick leads a cast with real comic timing. Start it on Disney Plus whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Pitch Perfect 3 earns its spot. The jokes in Pitch Perfect 3 land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. 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 and Rebel Wilson lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2017. The timing in Pitch Perfect 3 is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Pitch Perfect 3 respects your intelligence. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Anna Kendrick is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
