Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel Reviews & Ratings - IMDb IMDb 64 out of 97 people found the following review useful: Even the Kiddies Weren't Buying It 2 January 2010 Today I had to sit through this movie several times. :-( As an adult, it wasn't funny or entertaining. But what amused me was the reaction from the kids in the audiences. Almost none of the kids laughed out loud during the matinée viewing (the showing with the most kids in attendance). Some take away comments from the mouth of babes: "Is it over YET?" "I'm bored" and my personal favorite "That wasn't so funny at all." (poor kid said it over and over again with the "big" jokes.) Plus, I had never seen so many kids ready to leave after the first 15 minutes. It didn't get better over the course of the evening.

Perhaps that's why I ended up giving up a 7. Look, this is not Hamlet, Citizen Kane or Duck Soup. This is a PG film that as close to being family friendly than I have seen. 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. It is really getting hard to find a film where I can take my 9 year old daughter to. With battling giant robots, vampires, and giant smurfs lurking in 3D, this movie was a relief to see. The plot is paper thin - though in its defense it did have an ethical base of family, friendship, and responsibility. The effects were top notch, and there were a few times I even laughed (which was a few more times than I expected). In one word it was - 'Cute' - which is exactly what I think it sought out to be. Nothing more.. Nothing less. Harmless fluff. My 9 year old enjoyed it. And at the end of the day, that's all that mattered to me. This is a film for children.

Taken on it's level, I give it a 7. if you want to rate it as art or entertainment for adults? Yeah, mebbe a 2 or 3. But you know what? Some kids were clapping at parts in the theater. To me, that was pretty cool knowing that a film can get kids in a theater clapping for the characters on the screen. So relax. chill.. bring your little ones... and enjoy...

They both loved it. The 3 on IMDb is a bit misleading. This is a film for children, not a campaign to win an Academy Award! Obviously there are people out there who take things a little toooooo seriously when rating kid's movies. My 11 year old daughter writes the following: the movie was great. i love the sounds of those little voices. why are kids films usually getting a 2,3,4? the film the music, adventure,scenes were all entertaining for me.

Remember folks, this is a film for children, the chipmunks have been around for more than 30 years so they must be doing something right. If you want to over analyze a film then do a search on the French new age section and go your hardest, on the other hand if you are looking for pure entertainment for your under 12's then go no further. Was the above review useful to you? 15 out of 17 people found the following review useful: Decent. movie, could have been better... 7 January 2010 *** This review may contain spoilers *** I can honestly say the movie itself was only decent, I did expect better and this is coming from a huge fan of the chipmunks, dating back to the early 80's when the cartoon series reined. I enjoyed the first 3D chipmunk movie, I watched it a few times and there wasn't too much with it that I did not like. But this movie... it had me smile a few times, other times it kinda let me down because it did not live up to my expectations.

One of the BIGGEST disappointments to me was the limited interaction the chipmunks and chipettes had with each other throughout the movie. It certainly wasn't like the old cartoons where they were all together getting into mischief, competing with each other, or just plain having fun doing whatever it was they did. It was always enjoyable watching Alvin and Britney going at it, while the other 4 tried to keep them out of trouble. In this movie their interaction with each other is very limited, and when they do interact, it's mostly in depressing or angry situations. In the old cartoons, sure they squabbled, especially Alvin and Britney... but it was in a fashion that left you smile cause you know deep down they all cared. In this movie they seemed.. cold to each other, especially Alvin vs. Simon. Examples are when Alvin tries to warn Britney about Ian Hawk, Britney turns a cold shoulder to Alvin's advice and ends up on the floor covered in food, angry at Alvin. Another example is a scene showing a depressed Theodore because of his brothers fought for a good portion of the movie, Eleanore comes over to talk to him.

Just when you think she's gonna cheer him up, the scene ends abruptly in my opinion. Last example is when Alvin misses the music competition and shows up late, Britney just looks at him all sad and says "BTW, I didn't want to win this way" then walks away.. what the heck is that? There's also the constant arguing and fighting going on with Alvin and Simon, and Theodore spends a good amount of his time being sad. I was not expecting some chipmunk love story where they all fall for each other and live happily ever after, but I did expect to see them all get along for more of the movie. The majority of the movie was about them fighting and distrusting each other, it's not the image I remember from my youth. I understand that the storyline was that Ian wanted revenge on the chipmunks, and didn't want the chipettes to trust the chipmunks so they couldn't warn them about who he really was. Simon and Alvin we're fighting because Alvin was being his egotistical self, and Theodore didn't like it. The storyline in theory was good; it's the way it was executed that kinda killed it.

It felt like they tried to do too much, and accomplished so little. It's like the movie was just a bunch of short random scenes that eventually came together in some fashion, but never felt entirely complete. Again, I think I feel this way because you never really see ALL of the chipmunks together in this one, and it seems to focus on Alvin and Simon a lot more than the other four. Because this Squeakuel introduces the chipettes, by the end of the movie you feel like the chipmunks and chipettes never really got to know each other, then they all end up living together in the end? Besides the limited interaction with the chipmunks and chipettes as a whole, where was Dave? In a hospital bed almost the entire movie. Don't get me wrong I'm not a huge fan of Jason Lee, but jeez why cut Dave out of almost the entire movie? He's part of the Chipmunks franchise, and he made very limited appearances. Instead they put in some nerd cousin of David's who wants to take no responsibility and play video games. Who is this guy? I don't ever remember seeing him before, why take out Dave?

I did start to kind of like him by the end, but still.. he was no replacement for Dave. So there's that, those are my biggest disappointments about the movie. Besides the flawed execution of the story, the limited interaction of the munks, and the lack of Dave.. it was enjoyable to watch. I can honestly say unless you are a chipmunk fan from the past, you probably will not like this movie. I am personally hoping for a 3rd movie just to correct the mistakes of this one, and carry on this wonderful legacy. I want to see all 6 munks running around, laughing and playing, and getting into trouble like the good old days. Was the above review useful to you? 6 out of 6 people found the following review useful: Just because it's for kids doesn't mean it has to be brainless and cheap from United States 12 September 2011 I was about as excited about watching The Squeakquel as Marie Antoinette was about walking to the guillotine. From the trailer alone, you can tell this was made with the hope of making a quick buck with as little quality as possible.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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 story is about as interesting as the synopsis. You could make a drinking game based off of how often you can predict what's going to happen next. 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.

Now, I wasn't expecting Citizen Kane or some grade A masterpiece with complex themes and characters. I knew perfectly well this is a kids film and not one of excellent quality at that. It fails nonetheless. 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! 3/10 Was the above review useful to you? 18 out of 31 people found the following review useful: Good, so long as you don't expect a serious film from United Kingdom 28 December 2009 I really enjoyed this film, but mostly because I went in with the expectation that I would have an hour and a half of laughs and general fun, not a serious film.

I have seen the first film, and this isn't as good as it, but probably because film makers always use up all there best ideas in the first films, very few sequels live up to or surpass the originals. Obviously it's not the sort of film you can watch again and again, the jokes are clichéd and will quickly become old to anyone over the age of about 8. It never ceases to amaze me why adults go and see a children's film and somehow expect a serious film. All in all, good fun, the quality of the film isn't bad. Children will enjoy this, and their parents won't be bored by it either! Was the above review useful to you? 24 out of 43 people found the following review useful: Cute and entertaining all the way through! from United States 31 December 2009 I have to laugh at the comments about "not having substance." Um, this is 'Alvin and the Chipmunks,' right? If you really are concerned about what "messages" this movie is sending your children (or....yourself?), then there is a plain, easy-to-grasp theme about family and friends sticking together. I'm not sure what else you want.

Beyond that, the film is very cute, funny, and entertaining all the way through. The female-counterpart "Chipettes" add something new, but don't take away from the Chipmunks. Zachary Levin and David Cross are charming and amusing in their respective roles. If you liked the first movie, then you will be entertained by the "squeakquel." Was the above review useful to you? 26 out of 47 people found the following review useful: Perfect for young families and animation fans, but not for everyone else. from Los Angeles, CA, USA 16 December 2009 Saw an early screening. I never saw the first one, but within the context of it being a kids' movie, it was actually quite well made. I actually laughed at the jokes, and I'm 33 and educated. If I were a young kid, I'd love this movie a lot, but I'm way past that and am often quite critical of children's genre films these days. The plot was coherent and the moral issues were clear. The characters stay true to themselves, much to anyone who is a fan of the original cartoon characters, and the dynamic of character triads works well for moral storytelling.

The moral lesson to be taught is about learning to be selfless and considerate of others. This is explored through Alvin and his ego problem, and the consequences it has on his friends and family. Other characters have their own arcs as well, and they read clear and convincingly. On the downside, I think there are some choices that hurt the quality. Dave, the most famous human character in the franchise is probably in the film for about 5 minutes total, however the human characters we're left with are good performers with decent subplots. I did not care for the cliché use of a fart joke, but I forgive it because there was only one, and it was used in a way that's actually still funny to adults. Sure, it's not the most intellectual film for an adult audience, but it serves its purpose and achieves its goals, despite being the result of commercialism. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to take their small kids out to a movie.

I was prepared for something awful but wanted to do something with the 4 younger kids before they headed back to school. This is the movie they wanted to see. I've seen a lot of kids' movies and this is definitely among the funnier ones I've seen. My 8-year-old and I sat next to each other and had a hard time controlling our laughter on a few occasions. I told my husband he definitely has to see this when it comes out on video. I can't wait to watch it with him! Give it a try - maybe even risk raising your expectations a little!

My suggestion is that they shouldn't have even made a sequel, or in this case, a sqeakuel. Last film was fine: a group of talking chipmunks found and made famous.

When I went to watch this at a pre-screening, it was awful: my cousin was asleep, and I was just crying to get out of the theatre. Now, the storyline is awful: those talking chipmunks go to school, and face against some other talking chipmunks in this band contest. In my opinion, I thought that was a really weak storyline. However, this is just a perfect film for small kids. Lessons taught about being considerate to others, being kind, and those other lessons. But as entertainment, I'd rather have watched Barney.

Page 1 of 10: Audience Reviews for Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel ½ There is not much to like about "the Squeakquel", other than the fact that your favourite chipmunks are back for another round. The idea is stale, but I had so much fun with the first one that I had to give a little credit to this very weak, but fun film.

Alvin and the Chipmunks are actually overshadowed for a while by the new chipettes, which kind of dulls the film at points, but when they are on screen it's still a cute kids film. Still, I have to give it what I think it deserves overall, and the first one was much better, so this film falls directly in the middle of bad and good. There were portions that I enjoyed and was able to have some fun with, but others that just dragged on and made me hate it. This sequel was not worth making, but it's harmless! KJ Proulx Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel Movie Review What parents need to know Educational value Probably the most important lesson here is to avoid peer pressure and believe in yourself and/or your family, but it's not the movie's main focus. Positive messages Alvin learns to overcome his arrogance and need for acceptance -- i.e. joining the football team -- and fulfill his responsibilities to his family. Alvin's brothers refuse to perform without him because their act has always been about teamwork rather than any individual. Eleanor begins to feel bad about her body image but learns to accept herself the way she is.

The evil talent agent and school bully are both humiliated as punishment for their behavior. The movie portrays video games as a means to avoid social interaction and family time. Positive role models Alvin isn't an ideal role model, though he does learn his lesson and adjusts his arrogant behavior. None of the adult characters is really very admirable either, but Simon and Theodore continually show good, strong behavior -- they're the ones who emphasize family and call Alvin on his bad conduct. They also re-affirm confidence in personal body image, as well as cleanliness, politeness, and other positive attributes. Violence & scariness Theodore develops a fear of being scooped up by an eagle, and there's some scary eagle imagery, but he eventually overcomes his fear. The movie has a jock bully in the high school scenes (with a couple of toilet "swirly" scenes), and there's an evil talent agent who locks his chipmunk clients in cages (though the scenes are all ultimately meant to be funny). Theodore feels alone and sad when Alvin and Simon argue, but the movie usually ends these moments with a humorous note. Sexy stuff The Chipettes perform their act with some suggestive hip-wiggling.

The boy chipmunks and the girl chipmunks all develop crushes on one another, but nothing more than some googly eyes and a bit of mild flirting results (in one scene, Eleanor trips and falls into Theodore's arms). Among the human characters, Toby has a crush on a former schoolmate, but he's too shy to act on it. They hug at the end. Language Use of cruel comments. Some uses of the word "butt," and some "fat" jokes -- like "junk in the trunk." One character calls another one a "big jerk." Consumerism Featured brands/products include Apple computers and iPhones, FedEx, YouTube, and Animal Planet. Characters also spend some time playing Wii (though the movie's attitude toward playing video games is that it's a waste of time). Drinking, drugs, & smoking Not applicable Parents Need to Know Parents need to know that Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel is low-key, amusing entertainment for both parents and kids, with a mix of verbal and slapstick humor and only a few crude jokes.

With the introduction of girl Chipmunk group The Chipettes comes some flirting and suggestive hip-wiggling (similar to that of sexy starlets like Beyoncé and Shakira ), which -- along with the infrequent use of phrases like "junk in the trunk" -- makes this sequel a little edgier than the original . But overall the movie focuses on family, togetherness, and acceptance and deals positively with school and peer pressure. Though the issue of body image comes up (at times, Theodore's weight is called to attention, as is that of his female counterpart, Eleanor), ultimately the message is one of liking yourself for who you are. User reviews Review this title! What's the story? After an onstage mishap, Dave ( Jason Lee ) lands in a Paris hospital, and the Chipmunks wind up under the care of his doofus cousin Toby ( Zachary Levi ). Going to school for the first time, brothers, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore discover girls, bullies, and peer pressure; Alvin (voiced by Justin Long ) is coaxed into joining the football team, which takes him away from his singing duties.

Meanwhile, evil talent agent Ian ( David Cross ) returns -- having discovered all-girl chipmunk singing group The Chipettes -- and uses his same old nasty tactics to catapult the girls into the limelight. Trouble comes when Alvin's first big game falls on the same day as the big school talent show ... and The Chipettes are the main competition. Is it any good? QUALITY This "squeakquel" from director Betty Thomas ( The Brady Bunch Movie , Dr. Dolittle ) is not so much good as it is low-key, amusing, and painless. It has enough funny one-liners and bits of physical humor to entertain both kids and parents (especially if the parents are already Chipmunk fans). Crude humor is kept to a minimum, but Alvin's attempts at teen hipster talk may annoy parents and inspire impressionable kids to imitate him. And the Chipettes' dancing is designed to suggest many of today's pop starlets (Beyonce, Shakira, etc.) with some suggestive hip-wiggling. But these quibbles come surprisingly infrequently.

Overall, the movie doesn't try too hard for viewers' affections (it doesn't jump in your lap like a yapping puppy) and moves with speed and confidence. The songs are fun, the chipmunks are likeable, and the movie seems to have its heart in the right place. It may inspire some giggles and unexpected smiles from the whole family. Families can talk about... Families can talk about peer pressure. Why did Alvin join the football team, especially when he knew the game would conflict with the talent show? What did he hope to gain? Were the bullies really his friends? How does the movie approach the subject of body image ? Would it be different if the characters dealing with the issue were human instead of chipmunks? Cousin Toby has spent a lot of time playing and mastering video games, but what good has it done him?

Alvin and the chipmunks THE SQUEAKGUEL By Bulldawgz100 I think this movie looks good i'd go and while i'm writing this ALL THE SINGLE LADIES AND PUT YOUR HANDS UP UP IN THE CLUB WE JUST BROKE UP I'M DOING MY OWN THING.... Alvin and the Chipmunks The Squeakquel By chikflik I took my 8 year-old daughter to see it (she loved the original), and she loved this one too. Her favorite part was when the Chipmunks and the Chipettes sing a duet. It is a simple story that is just... Good movie, with a good message By lightrod Kids liked it. It had some funny adult humor that made it okay for adults that had to take their kids.... Five Word Review Princess and the Frog 100%better... The Squeakquel is Squeaktastic By rfendler Took my kids and some friends and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Non-stop laughter and fun. The story line was a little familiar, but that was cool. Adding the Chipettes was great and the music was great,...

I liked the other Alvin and the chipmunk By pulpfiction007 I am a huge chipmunk fan and was really disappointed by this movie. It was really cute though and perfect for kids.... Five Word Review Awesome Cool Funny Cute Sequal... Alvin and the Chipmunks Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel – EW.com Comedy, Kids and Family We gave it a C- If only for the sake of adults, couldn’t the folks behind the Alvin films have had the good grace to turn Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel into a musical? Like the original big-screen Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007), this new one is a slapstick pacifier, the kind of movie that features gags like Simon getting three-point-shotted into a wastebasket by an angry jock. Yes, griping about intentionally stupid jokes in an intentionally silly sequel seems like a churlish and rather pointless thing to do.

Yet when Alvin, Simon, and Theodore take the stage to perform a number like “You Really Got Me” (sounding more like a pip-squeak Van Halen than the Kinks), or when they twirl around on top of a blender and toss off a smokin’ a cappella version of “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record),” it’s funky, charming, and — yes — irresistible. In the age of Glee and American Idol, when even little kids groove on the pop of different eras, the songs in Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel are natural-born showstoppers. The trouble is, there are only three or four of them in the whole movie. My hopes were raised with the appearance of the Chipettes, a trio of Bambi-lashed female chipmunks who mail themselves to L.A. in a FedEx packet and sign a contract with Ian Hawk (David Cross), the evil agent-promoter from the first film. But they get to do exactly one song (it’s a goodie, “Single Ladies”).

Mostly, we’re stuck with a lame plastic plot that has Alvin and his boys going to high school, plus Zachary Levi (from NBC’s Chuck, essentially taking over for Jason Lee, who makes only a token appearance) doing sub-Adam Sandler routines as the chipmunks’ caretaker. 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 doesn’t make The Squeakquel good for them.

There doesn't seem to be any massively terrible pop songs I need to review right now. Well, I suppose I can finish off that Top 10 Worst Songs List of 19--[Suddenly his Skype alert goes off] Lupa? Lupa? [Instead it's Film Brain] Todd: [dejected] Oh... Hi, Matthew.

FB: So Todd, the fourth year anniversary's coming up. Do you wanna do another crossover? Todd: Oh absolutely, I really enjoyed watching Sunday School Musical. Okay, maybe not enjoyed... FB: Don't you wanna wait and see what movie I have planned? Todd: No it's cool, I trust your judgement. What is it? FB: Oh, nothing. Just [taking out the DVD of...] Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. Todd: [he takes out a shotgun and cocks it] Bring it on. [Now we get to the opening of Bad Movie Beatdown while we hear Todd playing a piano version of Ready To Roll. The opening contains additional clips of Todd this time.] [After the opening finishes, suddenly Todd busts into FB's hotel room, but without the shotgun] FB: Aah! Todd: Let's do this! FB: Didn't you have...a weapon? Todd: They would not let me take it on the plane. So, why did you pick that movie to review? Cause of its butchering of decent pop songs? FB: [smiling] No, I just like seeing my fellow contributors in pain.

Todd: Yeah, I figured after the whole Rap Critic thing with Big Mama's House and all that. How can you stand all this crap? FB: [steepling his hands] Because I'm insane. Todd: Yeah, no shit. Well, let's get this over with. [Image of Ross Bagdasarian] Todd (VO): In 1958, struggling songwriter Ross Bagdasarian found himself a winning gimmick after discovering he could make his voice sound funny by increasing the speed of the recording. [cover of "Christmas with The Chipmunks", slowly zooming out] He built three cartoon characters to fit the high pitch: Alvin, Simon and Theodore, The Chipmunks. They were a big hit in the '50s, [brief clip of '80s TV show] a big hit again during the '80s, [brief clip of "Alvin and the Chipmunks" (2007) movie trailer] and revived one more time by a live-action movie in 2007.

[clips from the first movie play] And despite a terrible marketing campaign that prominently featured a scene where Alvin eats shit, I actually didn't think that movie was that bad. It actually had a few funny jokes, had a decent running plotline about making fun of the miserable behind the scenes machinery of teen pop stardom, and it was self aware about the silliness of making a live-action Chipmunks movie. Now keep in mind there's no way it could've actually been "good", per se, but when you got the movie versions of [posters of...] Garfield , Underdog or The Smurfs to compare it to, I maintain you could do worse. FB (VO): I agree, and I largely put this down to ex-Simpsons writer Jon Vitti being one of the writing team. I've watched it twice: once as a review candidate and once for this review before you harp on me, and it's harmless. It's not exactly great, but you could certainly do far worse. And honestly the kids loved it because it made a whopping $360 million dollars worldwide, so a sequel was inevitable.

FB: Enter [holds up DVD case] the Squeakquel, which is exactly what you think the first one would be and then some. And as someone who's watched all three Alvin and the Chipmunk movies, I can tell you that this, by far, is the worst. Todd: You actually saw the third one? Is that even out on dvd yet? FB: [puts down DVD] I saw it in the theater in a professional capacity. Todd: Are you sure you're not obsessed-- FB: You shut up! I'm not obsessed with Alvin and the Chipmunks! Todd: ...Why don't we go on to the review? [We start off at the Regency logo] Todd (VO): So the movie begins... [Suddenly a chipmunk laugh is heard, then a guitar chord] Chipmunk: We're baaack! Todd: Well that's unnerving. FB: I think that sent a chill down every parents' spine. FB (VO): So the movie begins at a charity festival in Paris where the Chipmunks, full-fledged pop sensations are performing to a sell out crowd.

Chipmunks: [singing The Kinks, "You Really Got Me"] Girl, you really got me now/You got me so I don't know what I'm doing Girl, you really got me going/You got me so I can't sleep at night Todd: Well that was a brutal murder of a perfectly good song. God, what did Ray Davies ever do to you, Squeakquel? FB (VO): In fact they're so famous, they're even being broadcasted around the world. Todd (VO): Oh look, the eskimos are watching in their igloo. That's nice, movie. Never too young to introduce the kids to embarrasingly inaccurate stereotypes, I always say. FB (VO): Also back this time is Dave Seville, played once again by Jason Lee, wearing that pained look of someone who knows the phrase "contractual obligation" all too well. Alvin starts getting extremely into this gig, and because the chipmunks have throwing arms that would make Superman jealous, manages to get up into the scaffolding, pulling out some wiring by accident. [This makes a cardboard cutout of Alvin snap off and swing toward Dave] Alvin: Dave! Look out!

Todd: Lot of punch in that cardboard cutout. Is Dave made of styrofoam or what? [Dave's now in traction in a hospital bedroom] FB (VO): That's right, Jason Lee so does not want to be in this movie that barely three minutes have passed before they start writing him out as he's stuck in a Parisian hospital bed. He tells the Chipmunks, voiced pointlessly by Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler and Jesse McCartney. not that you can tell, that they'll be in the care of Aunt Jackie. Dave: I want you guys to go home and live a normal childhood. I even made arrangements for you to go to school. Chipmunks: School? FB: I think that cardboard cutout seriously injured Dave's brain. I mean these are chipmunks, not children. They should be having normal chipmunk lives. I mean for goodness sake, what do they need to go to school for? Are you training them to be the next chipmunk lawyers, chipmunk scientists? FB (VO): And bye, Jason Lee. The Chipmunks are to be escorted out when Alvin predictably starts causing trouble.

[Alvin jumps onto the bed remote which makes it go up and down, rocking Dave] Doctor: The more stress you put on Monsieur Seville, the longer it'll take him to recover! Alvin: You'll never take me! I'm not going anywhere without Daaa--[suddenly the doctor shoots Alvin with a tranquilizer, making him go loopy] Daydream believer and a homecoming queen. [And Alvin drops onto the bed all conked out] Simon: Maybe we should give him another shot. Todd: Yeah, one more shot in that tiny body might actually kill him. Go right ahead. FB: I mean that's not one, but two scenes where he's caused grievous bodily harm. This movie's dark, man. FB (VO): So the Chipmunks fly back to America and this is where they meet Aunt Jackie. You know Dave, I don't think an elderly woman in a wheelchair is going to keep up with these tornadoes of destruction. Also with her is Toby, an aggravating gobshite played by that guy from Chuck. [Zachary Levi] Aunt Jackie: The luggage, get the luggage. Toby: Yeah, let me get those.

[Toby brushes against Aunt Jackie, making her go back] Aunt Jackie: Toby! Alvin: Hit the brakes! Hit the brakes! Theodore: Abandon wheelchair! [Aunt Jackie then starts going down the stairs and then gets hit by a cart] Todd: God, how many victims are the chipmunks gonna claim? One more and they're officially serial killers. FB: I mean nothing says "good clean family entertainment" like two people being hospitalized in the first ten minutes. FB (VO): So with Dave and Aunt Jackie taking permanent residence in hospitals for most of the remaining running time, it's up to Toby to take care of the Chipmunks. [sarcastic] Oh deep joy. Toby: You guys have nothing to worry about seriously because I'm not gonna be anything like Dave. You know, Dave's gone. Theodore: Gone? Toby: Not gone! Not "gone" gone. He's-he's-he's not dead, he's very much alive. He's completely coming back! Todd: When he wants another paycheck. FB: With each syllable this guy utters, the more I miss Jason Lee's unenthusiasm.

[Alvin comes out of a cupboard with a bag of cheese balls] Alvin: Holla! The cheese balls are in the hizouse! [singing Bee Gees, "Stayin' Alive"] Well you can tell by the way I use my walk I'm a cheese balls man, no time to talk! Staying aliiiiiiii--[he holds that note for a long time] FB: [shutting his ears] Oh god! Todd: [facepalming] Um, this really doesn't need a musical number. [Alvin jumps up to kick a pan down off the rack to pop the bag open] Alvin: --iiiiiiiive! Bingo! Todd: Wouldn't that just crush the cheese balls? Two people in the hospital and the cheese balls are okay? FB: Todd, Todd, Todd. If you've learned anything from the first ten minutes of the movie, it's that physics operates differently in the presence of talking chipmunks. FB (VO): And from one irritating shoehorned pop song to another.

[The Chipmunks are riding in a bowl in a blender at high speed] Chipmunks: [singing Dead or Alive, " You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) "] You spin me right round baby right round like a record baby right round round round. [The group soon gets flung across the room] FB: Well at least it's better than the Flo Rida cover. Todd: Hey, fun fact. Did you know that you could fit all three chipmunks in a blender? I certainly did. [The phone rings and Alvin and Simon answer it] Chipmunks: Hello? Alvin: [he hangs up on Dave] Yup, nobody does that better than him. Todd: No, actually, he's quite terrible at it. Too panicky. Watch and learn. [We get a clip of the 50's cartoon] Dave: Okay, Alvin? Alvin? [Alvin's trying to open presents] ALVIN!! [that makes Alvin jump to the mike] Todd: Note the threat of implied violence. That's how it's done. Todd (VO): Okay, so they go to school. High school, to be precise.

Hang on, even in-universe, they're obviously way younger than high schoolers, so what the hell's going on? FB (VO): And I'm certainly not going to question Dave's judgement in sending three tiny chipmunks into a bustling school where they run the daily risk of being crushed, run over and stampeded on a daily basis for a completely pointless education. [Rolling down the halls on a skateboard is a kid in an Eagle mascot costume] Mascot: Go Eagles! Theodore: Eagle! [he turns tail and tries to run, but the mascot jumps over him, and then falls down a flight of stairs while the Chipmunks look on] FB: And that's another hospital well accounted for. Todd: I'm noticing a theme. Maybe we should just keep Alvin locked in a cage. That way no one gets killed. FB (VO): The Chipmunks are taken to their class where the girls instantly fawn over them. Oh yeah, I forgot. They're world famous singing chipmunks, so any normality is out of the window anyway. Some jocks are none too pleased about their lady stealing powers. Ryan Edwards: Somebody's gonna have to knock those guys down to size.

[Todd just sighs at that statement] FB: Okay, if you're sexually threatened by something you can carry in your back pocket, you've got some serious self confidence issues. FB (VO): The jock bullies show what big meanies they are by chasing the Chipmunks across the school, even giving Simon a dreaded swirlie. Ryan: It's swirlie time! Simon: Oh come on guys this is so 1980's! Aaah! Please, please! [and he gets swirlied] Todd: Just because you point out that it's an outdated cliché doesn't excuse it. FB: Well I guess they figured the audience was so young enough that they wouldn't notice. Besides, is this really necessary? I think that toilet is enough to drown that chipmunk. Ryan: It's the fatty ratty. [the kids are poking at Thedore who's on a locker] Theodore: Cut it out! Todd: What the hell could have happened there? FB: All I know is I'm firmly guarding my testicles. Todd (VO): Uh-oh, now they're in trouble. But the principal is willing to cut them a deal.

You see their music program is gonna be shut down unless the school wins a music competition. God that sounds familiar... FB: I'm pretty sure there's a black Christian choir who could help you out with that. FB (VO): It turns out the principal is also a bit of a fan. Dr. Rubin: I just cannot believe that you're actually sitting in my office! I have all of your CDs. I even went to see you last year in Denver! Todd (VO): Is she flirting with them? They're her students. And rodents. This is wrong on so many levels. FB: But you see, we're having a two-for-one sale on pedophilia and bestiality. Buy now and we throw in necrophilia absolutely free! Todd (VO): Meanwhile at JETT Records, the evil record producer from the first movie, Ian Hawke, played by David Cross, swears vengeance on the Chipmunks that ruined his career. He's apparently homeless and spends his time eating garbage from the company dumpster and fighting a rat for muffins. Todd: I feel like this is a metaphor of some kind for David Cross' participation in this franchise.

FB: It's like the writers thought to themselves, "How can we demean David Cross more than we already have?" FB (VO): Somehow sneaking aboard a FedEx truck, enter the Chipettes; Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor, pointlessly voiced by Christina Applegate, Anna Faris and Amy Poehler, who are hit so hard by the pitch shifting you can't even tell them apart. They've come to see Ian because they think he can make them stars like Alvin and the Chipmunks. I know it's a minor point, but where on earth did Jeanette get those glasses? In the first film, Simon's glasses were actually explained, whereas here they come right out of the packet. Todd: Are you sure you're not taking this too seriously? FB: It's a point about laziness, okay? Todd: ...Okay. Todd (VO): Ian takes them to his "office" on the roof where the Chipettes show off their skills. Chipettes: [singing Corinne Bailey Rae, "Put Your Records On"] Girl, put your records on/Tell me your favorite song/You go ahead, let your hair down Todd: They're naked. This is bothering me. FB: Thank you!

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I mean I know they're chipmunks, but they're so anthropomorphic that seeing them without clothes kind of freaks me out. Todd: Yeah, the furries might like this. I don't. Todd (VO): To make the chipmunks not think he's a homeless loser, he breaks into a model apartment with a grand piano? Todd: You do realize the realtor has to show up at some point, right? FB (VO): The following day we see...the Chipmunks playing dodgeball? Whose bright idea was that? Alvin: Remember your five D's: dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge! FB: So Justin Long is Alvin, making a reference to Dodgeball, which Justin Long was in, and...oh shit. (This meta realization has made the gamma go up!) Todd: Oh look what you did, you made the universe divide by zero again. FB: Sorry? Ryan: You're next, furball! Alvin: You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? I'm the only one here, so you must be talkin' to me.

[Todd's facepalming] FB: Ah yes, a reference to that popular well-known children's movie, Taxi Driver. Todd: Hey, how do you think it would smell if you pressed Alvin in a George Foreman grill? I'm guessing delicious. [FB's nodding with a grin] Sorry, go on. FB (VO): It turns out that Alvin's got a good catching and throwing arm, and that the jocks actually want him for their football team. FB: Their football team? He's 8" tall! Todd: Let it go, man. It's Chipmunk Town. FB (VO): And thus, Alvin becomes the most popular kid in school. Even has the pussy on demand if he wanted it. Of course if you already forgot... Todd (VO): I did. FB (VO): Quiet, you. The Chipmunks are joining the music competition which Ian sees in the newspaper. Todd (VO): So this is Ian's evil plan: he's going to use the Chipettes to steal the Chipmunks' fame by entering the Chipettes into the same school where Alvin and company promptly fall for their female counterparts.

Todd: So, the school has two sets of singing chipmunks wandering around. FB: Surely the principal wouldn't allow this considering they might be a threat to the music contest? Todd (VO): And sure enough, Ian and his chest hair shows up to position the Chipettes as rivals to the Chipmunks in the contest. Brittany: [singing " Hot N Cold " by Katy Perry] You change your mind like a girl changes clothes. Chipettes: [singing] And you know that you're no good for me, yeeaahh! Cause you're hot and you're cold/You're yes then you're no/You're in and you're out/You're up and you're down. Brittany: Yeah yeah yeaaaahhh! [Meanwhile Ian's flailing around with lights strapped to his suit while a thought bubble saying "KILL ME" is put over him] Todd: You notice they skipped the line about PMSing like a bitch. Hey here's a riddle everybody; What's Kidz Bop, but worse? FB (VO): Ian convinces the principal to a public vote. Both groups will perform on Friday and whoever gets the most applause represents the school in the contest.

That's if the Chipmunks can get their act together because Alvin and Simon are beginning to fall out over Alvin's popularity. This makes Theodore nervous, and he goes to sleep with Toby. Theodore: Can I sleep with you? Toby: [sleepily] Sure, okay. [Theodore gets under the covers, but not before Toby blasts a fart] Theodore: Dutch oven! Not the Dutch oven! Oh, anything but the Dutch oven! Must find fresh air before it's too late! Aah! It's too late! It burns! Ohh, mama! [he gets out of the covers and passes out] Todd: [facepalming again] Oh good, the obligatory fart joke. FB: [imitating a kid] Daddy, what's a Dutch oven? Todd: Cause Dave never farted in bed. Colon like daisies, that man. FB (VO): Speaking of Dave, the writers remembered that Jason Lee was in their movie as Toby answers Dave's call from Paris and lets slip that he's the one taking care of the kids. Dave immediately tries to get out of the hospital as soon as possible. Presumably around the point he discovered that My Name Is Earl was cancelled.

[Dave tries to use the bed remote to lift his leg up, but pushes it too much that it lifts him off the bed] Dave: Nurse! Get me out of here! Help! Todd: Okay, that one wasn't Alvin's fault, he's just an idiot. FB (VO): There's also a completely stupid filler scene here where the jock bullies tell Simon that he's a litter monitor, and then laugh at him as he takes his nonexistant position seriously. I thought Simon was supposed to be the smart one. Surely he'd see right through this blatant prank? Todd (VO): Well Simon gets thrown in the garbage and Alvin goes to help him, but they're pissed off at each other, especially when Alvin admits he may not be singing against the Chipettes because he has a football game at the same time. [Todd's facepalming again] FB: Oh, so it's becoming High School Musical. Todd: Okay, let me sum up the situation so far.

Todd (VO): Alvin is in conflict with the other Chipmunks, who are in conflict with the school bullies, and they're all in conflict with the guy from Chuck, as well as with the Chipettes and with David Cross, who is taking advantage of the Chipettes as well as, for the record, setting the Chipettes in conflict with each other. Todd: Got all that? [FB shakes his head] Neither do I. What the hell is the plot of this movie? Todd (VO): So Alvin debuts on the football field in a stupendously stupid sequence. Alvin: I'm taking you down, Jennifer! Linebacker: You're the one going down, rat face. Alvin: I'm gonna crack you like an acorn, and eat you for dinner. With some fava beans and a nice Chianti. [And then proceeds to flick his tongue like Hannibal Lecter] FB: A Silence of the Lambs reference? Yeah, that's a film the kids should be aware of. Todd: Hey, maybe they'll reenact the mangina sequence next.

[Todd gives FB a creepy smile, which makes him scooch away from him] FB (VO): They throw the ball with Alvin on it, which I'm pretty sure is cheating, but there you go. [the ball lands down on top of Alvin] Ooh, he's dead! [Of course, Alvin's alive and well] No, of course not, but he ends up scoring the winning touchdown, if you call it that, and is his usual irritating self. Alvin: That's what I'm talkin' about! Don't hate the player, hate the game! And I love how awesome I am! Uh-huh! FB (VO): Urge to kill rising! Todd (VO): Did you know that thousands of small rodents are killed every year by farming combines? Just a little piece of trivia, don't know why that popped in my head. FB (VO): At the same time during the sing-off, Alvin still hasn't arrived, and the Chipettes are up first. Brittany: [singing Beyonce, " Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) "] All the single ladies. (All the single ladies) All the single ladies.

(You put your hands up) Up in the club, just broke up, doing my own little thing. Decided to dip, now you wanna trip, cause another brother noticed me. Chipettes: [singing] If you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it. If you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it. Todd: Oh good. Because Single Ladies wasn't enough of an annoying tuneless mess anyway, why not do it with chipmunk voices? FB: By the way, chipmunks in sexy dresses telling me that if I like it I should put a ring on it? Do not want! FB (VO): And because Toby is completely useless, he still hasn't found Alvin, and the Chipmunks have to forfeit, meaning the Chipettes win by default. Todd: [sarcastic] Oh no, this is horrible. Now they won't be able...to... FB: To see who would sing in a contest to save the school's music department. Todd: A what? FB: To save the school's music department. Todd: Oh, right. FB: Yes, don't worry about it.

FB (VO): Alvin arrives late to realize he's a bit of a prick. Worse still during the night, Theodore, feeling upset over the lack of family unity, has run away to the zoo. Todd (VO): Whoa Matthew, you might wanna explain this for the people who haven't seen the movie. FB (VO): Good point. In one of the numerous sub-plots competing against each other in this mess, Theodore's inexplicably become a fan of the show Meerkat Manor, hence he has ran of to join the meerkats. FB: Well hopefully he won't get a cameo from this guy. [Quick clip from a Compare The Market commercial] Aleksandr: Simples! Todd: What the hell was that? FB: It's a UK thing. Trust me, they found that hilarious. Todd: ...I'll take your word for it. Todd (VO): At the zoo, Theodore enters what he thinks is the meerkat exhibit, but has now been changed into the birds of prey exhibit instead, even though those wild animals would easily be able to fly out of the enclosure. Todd: And why would a talking animal want to live with a number of non-talking animals?

And for that matter, can Theodore not read? And if he can't, why did he think meerkats were gonna be there in the first place? FB: It's so he can get rid of his fear of eagles, Todd. You know, the other asinine Theodore thing we've been skipping over cause there's so much crap in this movie. Todd: Oh yeah, right, we totally skipped that. Wow, there is a lot of shit in this. FB: There sure is. Todd (VO): Alvin, Simon and Toby come to the rescue--Okay, not so much in Toby's case, he's a moron--and Alvin talks to a distinctly uninterested eagle. Alvin: I get why you want Theodore. I do. But, I'm sorry. I can't let that happen. He's my brother. Not that you'd know that, because I've been such a big jerk lately. Todd: You know, I don't think there's much use talking to a non-talking animal. FB: I bet that eagle's thinking to himself, "Mmm, tasty chipmunk! Om nom nom nom!" Theodore: I gotcha, Alvin!

[Theodore slips between the eagle's legs, stomps on it's foot to no effect, then runs with Alvin. Alvin slips through the screen, only for Theodore to get stuck.] Theodore: Help! [Alvin and Simon pull him out, then run away to the gate just as Toby finally got in] Toby: Guys, that was huge! Todd: No, it really wasn't. Todd (VO): Also the Chipettes have captured the record company's attention and got a gig opening for Britney Spears. But oh no, they'll miss the competition, and Ian threatens them if they, or more specifically Brittany, don't sing. Todd: Are we really supposed to care about the fate of the music program? FB: And maybe I'm misreading this, but does Ian have a thing for Brittany? Please tell me he's not after some chipmunk tail. Todd (VO): Okay, competition's happening, got a few sub-Kidz Bop performances and for some reason, the Chipmunks are there even though they're not performing. Brittany calls Alvin, Ian's locked them in a cage. FB: And thus concludes the Chipettes doing a mini-remake of the first film.

Todd: Oh no, if the kids don't arrive on time, they'll never be able to save the...what is it, the gym? The orphanage? FB: Close enough. FB (VO): So Alvin comes to the rescue on a toy motorbike, and with Simon's help, they break out of the cage and escape while Ian isn't looking. They hop onto the motorbike whilst Ian watches in horror and gives chase. Alvin: Don't worry! I'm gonna get a little help from my friend, Digger! Whoo! [Coming out of the sewer is a gopher named Digger] Digger: Roger that, Alvin! Whoa! Feels like I'm back at the racetrack! Todd: Who the heck was that? FB: That's...[he consults his notes on this] Digger, the NASCAR gopher. Todd: Who? No. Why? FB: Maybe it's to set up his own movie? Todd: Did he get one? FB: No.

[Todd double facepalms while FB tosses his notes in the air] Todd (VO): Ian chases them with a toy helicopter, for some reason, and then Alvin and the Chipettes hop onto said helicopter, for some reason, they throw their helmets at Ian, forcing him to throw the plane's remote into the air which the Chipettes catch. And then the toy motorbike runs right into Ian's nuts. FB: It wouldn't be a lowest common denominator kids movie without some testicle smashing. Todd: I just want to point out that David Cross' memoirs are titled "I Drink For A Reason." This is the reason. FB (VO): The two remaining Chipmunks are waiting for Alvin to return, so to stall, *fake gasp* wait, is Toby taking the stage? Todd (VO): Okay, here's another thing we forgot to mention. The school music teacher was the guy from Chuck's crush in high school. So now he's taken the stage, confessed his love/horribly embarrassed her. Sorry we skipped over that, but trust me if you blinked, you wouldn't have missed it anyway.

Toby: [singing badly] Ever since I met you, I want to be your guy. / But as you probably noticed, I'm...pathologically shy. / Standing on this stage right now I think I'd rather die, / so I'm just gonna start by saying...hi. FB: Your problem isn't that you're "pathologically shy." It's that you're a stupid, filthy, jobless moron. Get off the stage! FB (VO): Luckily Alvin and the Chipettes fly in through a conveniently open window and join up with Simon and Theodore. Together they perform this completely unrehearsed, yet completely choreographed performance of [singing it] "We Are Family." And look who's decided to show up five minutes from the end, it's Dave! Todd (VO): And the school wins the competition, saving the music department. Todd: And those music departments for all those other schools in the competition? Shut down. Todd (VO): As for the Britney Spears opener, uh, well... [Sticking out of the curtain is a sock puppet] Ian: [doing bad imitations] "Hey everyone.

I'm Jeanette." "And I'm Eleanor." [he comes out on stage in make-up and a dress] And I'm Brittany! And we're the Chipettes! Todd: Poor David Cross. FB: I bet he drinks Jack Daniels by the crate. Todd: We should do that after we're done. FB: You're damn right we should. Todd (VO): So Dave's returned and everything's back to normal. Dave even adopts the Chipettes alongside the Chipmunks. FB: So they're both adopted sisters and love interests? Both: Eeewwww! [Dave turns the light off, but Alvin turns it back on] Alvin: Not tired! Dave: Alvin, come on, it's time for bed. [he turns the light off again and Alvin turns it on again] Alvin: Still not tired! [Another round of off and on] More awake! Dave: Alvin, that's it, don't make me come over there! Alvin: Okay! [Alvin turns the light off, only for Dave to trip on a skateboard, falling down once again. Alvin turns the light on once more.] Todd: Well that's Dave back in the hospital again.

FB: Alvin's a shit. Todd (VO): And if you stick around during the credits you see the comeuppance for the jock bullies and David Cross being humiliated further still by being thrown into a dumpster. Again. You know, stuff they couldn't resolve in the main narrative. Todd: And why should they? They don't care. They made a shitload of money. FB: Almost half a billion dollars worldwide. Todd: ...I hate people. [Clips of the movie play as they give the closing summary] FB (VO): They just didn't care. The whole thing feels rushed because there are so many plot elements to throw into the mix here that it never falls into a cohesive storyline. It is a film filled with almost unparralelled annoyance. You want Alvin to die because he's so arrogant, you want to inflict pain on Zachary Levi for being so insufferable, and you want to slap some dignity into David Cross. The only wise person here is Jason Lee, who knew to sit out most of this dungheap for a borderline cameo appearance. His straight man presence is sorely missed. Todd (VO): This was a pointless embarrassment.

The first movie was sort of admirable in how it at least poked fun at the stupidity of its own premise, but the Squeakquel--god that word sounds stupider everytime you say it--the Squeakquel has no interest in doing so whatsoever. It's just as stupid, but now it's given up trying to be clever about it, and the plotting is unruly half-assed. They introduce a conflict in one scene, completely ignore it for hour long stretches, then resolve it. This sucked. Screw you, Matt. Screw you. FB: I love you, too. I'm Matthew Buck, beating down bad movies everywhere. Todd: And I'm Todd in the Shadows saying, come on Matt, you only did this review because you love Alvin and the-- FB: I AM NOT OBSESSED WITH ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS!!

See more » Connections (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews I really enjoyed this film, but mostly because I went in with the expectation that I would have an hour and a half of laughs and general fun, not a serious film. I have seen the first film, and this isn't as good as it, but probably because film makers always use up all there best ideas in the first films, very few sequels live up to or surpass the originals. Obviously it's not the sort of film you can watch again and again, the jokes are clichéd and will quickly become old to anyone over the age of about 8. It never ceases to amaze me why adults go and see a children's film and somehow expect a serious film. All in all, good fun, the quality of the film isn't bad. Children will enjoy this, and their parents won't be bored by it either! 18 of 31 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?

Yes Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel on iTunes you can call me *miss alvin seville* by glamtasticstargirl this is by far one of the best movies ever made about singing chipmunks. and one of my all time favorite movies. i went and saw this three times within the first two weeks it was in theaters. i am so thrilled it will be available on itunes as well. i thought the first movie was completely fantastic, but this one is like twice as terrifical. this movie was so adorable, hillarious and also had a great message. i bought the soundtrack for myself and several other people for christmas and fell completely in love with it. the chipettes were pretty cute too. (i am just really mad about the whole brittany character-she is supposed to be alvin's so-called girlfriend) the music in this movie is completely fantastic and everyone should buy the soundtrack too. every time i hear the chipmunk's voice i can't help but smile or at least let out a small giggle. you would have to be completely (in)SANE to think the chipmunks don't have the cutest voices ever.

i hope they make a third movie or at least another soundtrack. thanx chipmunx!!!! i am your biggest fan for life! PS... me and alvin would totally already be married if he were a real person. i guess the fact that he is a singing chipmunk makes him that much cuter. he is by far the hottest chipmunk i have ever laid eyes on. (does anyone have his number?---if so i would love it) as for the brittany character--- well i would have already killed her by now if she were for real (as a person). simon and theodore---i love you too, but when i compare you to alvin, there is no comparison. */glamtasticstargirl by AnjelHEARTS!!!
