After being humiliated in front of none other than the President of the United States of America, the Bellas are taken out of the Aca-Circuit.

What's a little harder is the jarring gross-out humor. Not just in the light misogyny or gay stereotyping, that's almost forgivable considering its time. The film is, unfortunately, dated in some weird ways though. That's not how movies work! And it's surprisingly refreshing to see that sort of thing. The cast went through a two-week boot camp to. I expected a standard villain from one of the girls, but was surprised to find depth in her when they actually just sat down and talked about their feelings.
