Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Cortechba Overrated

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

peelboy1000 I've seen the first one and its okay. I chuckled a few times and it was entertaining and cute. I've seen the third one and its not that great. But not bad. It was watchable and entertaining. But this one flat out sucks. Its not funny, its dumb, its not even entertaining. The chipmunks go to high school? Ya high school. Makes no sense right. And the whole movie they just try to save the schools music program against the girl chipmunks. Which were really annoying. The characters suck, its unfunny (didn't laugh once), there's a bunch of stupid cameos that kids wouldn't understand, and is by far the worst of the three. Watch the other two, there fine. But this one sucks.

Nunya Bidness There is a certain level of shame that befalls a nation when they collectively defame an American classic to make millions. The wholesome morals that once existed in the United States have ceased to exist as the age of the dollar has been exacerbated like a ruptured boil. This complete monstrosity that disgraced the movie theater I unfortunately existed in on the of year 2009, completely hollowed out my childhood like a fat college woman from the South raiding a bucket of seafood from Joe's Crab Shack. I personally believe in my eighteen years on this earth, that my generation deserves one last animated movie that isn't designed to mentally brainwash the juvenile populace into whoring their existence to fit a teeny bob design of Hollywood, and the American music industry. The ungodly reality of what I see creeping up behind my grade as I graduate high school makes me want to widen the gap even further to the point where my friends and I are in a indistinguishably separate region of time, parallel to the infectious horde of flat footed materialists and narcissistic nothing creeping behind. Waiting. I saw this film as one more step to the steady downfall of human pragmatism and value. A cavalcade of flatulence, belching, and humor so dry it could soak up Kim Kardashian's underwear at the EBT awards. There is not much left on the silver screen anymore for the youngest and most vulnerable part of our society.I find beauty in photography. I will not be phased by the slow and steady rot of childhood splendor that once came from Pixar but now has transformed into cheaply distributed garbage.There is no brain left upon this golden faceted brain stem that America has whittled down to the last brain cell. I will be sparking up, inhaling sweet green apathy and watching it all burn like the end of my Tops rolling paper. Sweet dreams America.

MissSimonetta 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

TheLittleSongbird I am not sure which of the two is better, so I am going to say that in my eyes this sequel is on the same level as its predecessor albeit with one improvement. Neither movie is as good as the timeless TV show or the wonderful Chipmunk Adventure, but in many ways more than one both are cute and harmless movies without trying to be 5-star masterpieces.Alvin and the Chipmunks:The Squeakquel has cons that are similar to its predecessor. As with the first, the film is very predictable with some clichéd human characters and situations, though in fairness a lot of animated/live action films do have that problem as well. Also it does have some hits and misses in the script with some jokes that parents might groan at. The film is rather short and rushed as well.Faults aside, the film does have an improvement, the performance of Jason Lee as David. In the first he was miscast and out of his depth, here he is much more comfortable and relaxed. Visually and technically, I have little to fault it either. The photography and editing is crisp without being award-worthy, the location work is quite colourful and striking and the animation on the chipmunks again is spot on being very cute. The chipmunks are adorable with voices that are thankfully not irritating, and as with the first Alvin and the Chipmunks:The Squeakquel nails the personalities of the chipmunks, Theodore again being the best realised. And the soundtrack is very catchy, with tuneful melodies and sweet lyrics, which kids will love and adults will possibly tolerate too.Overall, unexceptional but watchable family entertainment. 6/10 Bethany Cox
