Alien at the Movies

Alvin & the Chipmunks: The Road Chip

This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.

Those rascally rodents are back for another misadventure that takes them from L.A. to Texas to New Orleans to Miami & back. This fourth episode explores issues of bullying, blended families, & misunderstandings as Alvin schemes always seen to go awry. The animation is terrific and the movie does a marvelous job merging the chipmunks with the real live action. The humor is fitting for the younger audience but doesn't supply much entertainment for the older crowd. This childish humor is very predictable & tiresome after a while, unless you are under ten years old. Annoyingly, the film appears to try & apply this chipmunk harmony to as many musical genres as possible, unless you love their shrill squeaky sound. A couple of continuing clips run near the beginning of the credits.

Alien gives it 2 "Suggs Life" stars out of 4.
