I'm not gonna lie, Alvin and the Chipmunk's first appearance was slightly charming, if not entirely pointless. I mean, out of all the cheesy 60s licenses they could've used, Alvin doesn't seem the most popular. Now, before I go on to criticize this movie, let me say that all written is based on opinion. I guess this film wasn't made for me. Also, I don't want to hear that stupid excuse that it's just a kid's movie. I have enjoyed so many kid's movies, classics like Iron Giant. But this movie is indescribably bad. The entirety of the story is ripped straight off a terrible early 2000's romcom, clichè ending included. What would this movie be without the countless licensed pop songs which somehow sound even more agonizing than before in a squeaky prepubescent whale voice, crying out after it was harpooned through the gut. I could feel the Japanese undertones already. Not even my little brother, who loves the murderous Nickolodeon show, couldn't get through this movie without crying himself straight outta the theater. Do you like cheesy buddy road trip family movies? I know I sure did, before this stain on the blanket of film history appeared before my eyes from spilling its dignity all over its suave shoes. The chipmunks don't look any better than they did in the first movie, in fact I think they looked lazier. I love it's attempt to be hip and black-like. In the first few minutes, a pool party engages in the new dance craze that nobody will remember ever. I think I forgot it after the movie ended. But, if I had to pick one good thing in the movie, I regret saying that it is the corny villain character, because he actually had some Nic Cage scenes that made him stand out. I was almost afraid that they were rerunning Face/Off in a theater with 7 year-old girls in it. I would be more worried if I saw this character riding a bicycle with flames emitting from his face. Then again, I don't think this movie couldn't get much worse with or without it.
I guess in total the film is harmless, but it encouraged people to defend it on this website. I'm serious! Look at the forums or any other review, and they say that it is a modern masterpiece of cinematic accomplishments. Among the greats: Citizen Kane, Gone With The Wind, Star Wars, Forrest Gump, and Alvin: Road Chip. Something about that sentence makes my mouth burn as I am rereading that.
