ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS: CHIPWRECKED, G ( 1 hr & 27 min )


Quickie Review:  Alvin and the Chipmunks and the Chipettes, along with their human, are on a cruise ship on their way to the International Music Awards.  But fun-loving Alvin manages to get them all overboard and washed-up on a seemingly deserted remote island.

The audience seemed to like this movie.

I was mildly entertained by it.  I would have enjoyed it more if Alvin wasn't such a little brat, no doubt about it.  But I liked how one character in this movie earned himself some moral redemption; after all, when you think about it, a movie is just a fancy "morality play."

Here are the things that I found wrong in this movie:  Even though Alvin and the Chipmunks are world famous singers, nobody seemed to care about them as they were embarking on the ship.  No mango fruit grows on a bough.  Am I right to assume that the woman wore the same outfit for years, yet it didn't wear out or fade at all?  In this day and age, no active volcano ( no matter how remote its location ) will not get the attention of scientists all over the world.  That volcanic island would have been monitored day and night in the air, at sea and on land by said scientists.
