This Chipmunks movie is more relaxed as they all go for a holiday cruise along with the Chipettes. They travel with their owner played by Jason Lee. As troubles arise along the way, they must all find a way to travel within the island and learn how to escape it in time together. This movie of the Chipmunks is different this time since it focuses less on their little voice singing and their tiny feet dancing. Instead the creators focused on their shenanigans.
To compensate for the lack of the usual song numbers, the creators instead filled up the movie with scorings that are equally interesting starting off with the rendition of the Chipmunks for Pink’s ‘Trouble’ song. The songs that can be heard here are taken from the latest era of bubblegum pop genre while their previously made films were good choices but the chipmunks version ruined it instead. The true problem of the matter is that no matter how interestingly cute the chipmunks may be, their high pitched voices that seem screeching at times already can be irritating for anyone who is already above 10 years old.
There are still a lot of goofy situations in the film including the dance off of the Chipettes. The only thing that the film excelled at the most is the appearance of David Cross being the arch nemesis. Most of genuine laughs you would get from the film can be noticed to have been due the one liners of Cross that are all hilariously funny. You would even suspect that maybe he improvised it himself. This movie is something that can really entertain the youngest of kids for a short amount of time. Good thing they did not ride the usual trend of the 3D technology which could have been a very tempting step to take.
Just imagine how irritating it could be to see them in 3D while you also get to listen to their high-pitched voices. In short, this film is perfect for a family friendly date. It can make everyone wonder why they did not make it in 3D and it will continue allowing everyone to question Jason Lee and stop all of this now.
