Having to recuperate there, Dave asks his aunt, Jackie, to look after the Chipmunks, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. Arrangements are also made for them to go to school at West Eastman High School. After Jackie also has an accident, the Chipmunks are left in the care of Toby, Jackie 's grandson. Meanwhile, Ian Hawke, who is broke and destitute, lives in the basement of JETT Records. Three singing female chipmunks, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor, also known as The Chipettes, emerge from a FedEx packagee. Ian recruits and hires the Chipettes in an effort to resurrect his career. While at school, the Chipmunks are ridiculed by jocks, who threaten to kill them for drawing their girls ' attention away from them. They chase the Chipmunks around the school and give Simon a swirlie in a toilet. They visit the principal 's office, only to discover that the principal, Dr. Rubin is a huge fan, and enlists their help to raise money for a music program by participating in a contest. Meanwhile, Ian is shocked to find the Chipmunks on the front page of his newspaper. After he reads a story about them, he quickly sends the Chipettes to school. When the Chipmunks meet the Chipettes, a rivalry forms after the former group learns that the latter group are with Ian : with both groups wanting to compete in the Battle of the Bands, Dr. Rubin sets up a concert for them to compete in with the winners representing the school. Meanwhile, Alvin becomes popular with the jocks and joins the football team, not realizing that the next game is during the concert. At the concert, Theodore and Simon tell the fans that Alvin failed to show up, and that they can not perform, leading to a victory for the Chipettes. When Alvin finally shows up after the concert is over, he finds the auditorium empty, and Brittany calls him out for his lack of responsibility. Alvin then returns home and attempts to apologize to his brothers, but is ignored. Theodore runs away the next day, until Alvin and Simon save him from an eagle, leading to the three making up. Soon, the Chipettes are hired, but learn that the concert at which they are to perform as an opening act for a Britney Spears concert at the Staples Center is on the same night as the school contest. Ian convinces them to call off the battle and perform at the concert, but refuses to give the same credit to Jeanette and Eleanor that he gives Brittany. She demands that they all perform together or not at all, until Ian threatens to send them to a barbecue restaurant unless they perform. Before the Battle of the Bands, Alvin receives a call from the Chipettes, who tell him that Ian has locked them in a cage, so Alvin races off to rescue them while Simon tells Jeanette how to open the cage over the cell phone. Simon and Theodore are on the verge of going out to perform until the others arrive just in time to perform at the contest. The Chipmunks and the Chipettes perform together and receive the money for the music program. Dave, who had left the hospital upon learning that Toby was looking after the Chipmunks, returns during the contest, happy to see the Chipmunks again. Meanwhile, Ian is further exposed at the concert of Staples Center he set up for the girls when he attempts to imitate them, only for him to be taken away by security guards. After the contest, Dave allows the Chipettes to stay with them. In the mid-credits, Dr. Rubin has the jocks scrape the gum off from under the bleachers in the gymnasium. In the post-credits, Ian is thrown into a dumpster.

The site 's general consensus is that, `` This Squeakquel may entertain the kiddies, but it 's low on energy and heavily reliant on slapstick humor. '' On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from film critics, has a rating score of 41 based on 20 reviews. Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly graded the film a C -. Gleiberman wrote in his review with this question : `` Will kids eat up this cutely fractious claptrap ? Of course they will. They 'll eat up whatever you put in front of them. But that does n't make The Squeakquel good for them. '' Sue Robinson from Radio Times said that `` even if there 's little here for older viewers to enjoy, youngsters will love the slapstick action and catchy soundtrack. '' Some reviews were positive, such as Joe Leydon, writing for Variety, calling it `` a frenetic but undeniably funny follow - up that offers twice the number of singing - and - dancing rodents in another seamless blend of CGI and live - action elements. '' Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times commented on Betty Thomas ' direction, saying that she brings `` a light campy touch as she did in 1995 's The Brady Bunch Movie. '' After the film had garnered $112 million worldwide at the box office over its first weekend, some critics were disappointed that it was more popular than other movies in wide release aimed at a family audience. Richard Corliss of Time wrote that families `` could have taken the cherubs to The Princess and the Frog or Disney 's A Christmas Carol, worthy efforts that, together, took in only about a fifth of the Chipmunks ' revenue in the same period ''. Box Office On its opening Wednesday, the film opened to # 1 with $18,801,277, and finished the weekend at # 3 behind Fox 's own Avatar and Warner Bros ' Sherlock Holmes with $48,875,415 and a $75,589,048 5 - day total, eclipsing its budget in only five days. Domestically, it is the 9th highest - grossing film of 2009, and on March 7, 2010, it outgrossed its predecessor to become the second highest - grossing film to never hit # 1 behind My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Alvin and the Chipmunks : The Squeakquel ended its run with $219,614,612 domestically and $223,525,393 overseas with a total of $443,140,005 worldwide, which is higher than its predecessor.
