The effects were top notch, and there were a few times I even laughed (which was a few more times than I expected). The plot is paper thin - though in its defense it did have an ethical base of family, friendship, and responsibility.
#ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS THE SQUEAKQUEL ENDING DAVE MOVIE#
With battling giant robots, vampires, and giant smurfs lurking in 3D, this movie was a relief to see. It is really getting hard to find a film where I can take my 9 year old daughter to.
I can only imagine the PG rating was due to the fact that the chipettes were darn right sexy - I didn't hear any vulgarity, see any nudity, violence or adult situations. This is a PG film that as close to being family friendly than I have seen. Look, this is not Hamlet, Citizen Kane or Duck Soup. Perhaps that's why I ended up giving up a 7. Just because a movie is for kids doesn't mean you have to reach for the lowest common denominator in order to entertain them, it doesn't mean you have to give them a thin plot with the freshness of a rotten apple core, it doesn't mean you have to reach for teenage stereotypes that should have been out with big hair, and it doesn't mean you shouldn't at least TRY to put a decent amount of effort into the final product! 3/10Īfter all the negative reviews I read, I went in with pretty low expectations. I knew perfectly well this is a kids film and not one of excellent quality at that. Now, I wasn't expecting Citizen Kane or some grade A masterpiece with complex themes and characters. None of the characters besides the main trio are interesting, the jokes fall flat, and all the high school "trauma" the chipmunks deal with is about as real as an episode of Saved By the Bell. You could make a drinking game based off of how often you can predict what's going to happen next. The story is about as interesting as the synopsis. Then, there's a plot where the Chipmunks sign up for a talent show in order to win money for the school's music program, which is losing funding, a plot I'm sure has never before been used. The Chipette's manager is the greedy manager of the Chipmunks from the last movie, seeking to reclaim his former glory by making millions off of the female group's talent. The chipmunk trio is sent to high school, where they deal with stereotypical high school problems and have a rivalry with a female group of chipmunks, The Chipettes. We decided to spend quality time together watching this thing, and after wasting precious minutes of my life with bad jokes and a stale plot, I have decided to review it.
It succeeded, as it made millions of quick bucks at the box office and it just made another when my mother decided to buy the DVD. From the trailer alone, you can tell this was made with the hope of making a quick buck with as little quality as possible. The Chipmunks and the Chipettes square off romantic sparks and crazy mishaps ensue.I was about as excited about watching The Squeakquel as Marie Antoinette was about walking to the guillotine. The Chipmunks put aside their stardom to return to school to win an annual "Battle of the Bands" competition to save the school's music program, but they meet their match with the Chipettes: Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor, who work for the Chipmunks' ex-manager, Ian Hawke. Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel SynopsisĪfter a concert mishap lands Dave in the hospital, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore end up in the care of Dave's twenty-something cousin Toby.
