Plot
Dave decides to take the six chipmunks on a cruise to spend some time together as a family. Of course, Alvin finds a way to constantly get in trouble. One of these ways ends up sweeping the six of them (on a kite) off the ship and stranding them. They find an island but can they survive the island? And will Dave come looking for them?
Oh, and guess who else is on the ship? Ian. Yeah, reusing the same enemy. Will he be any better this time, the third movie of the series?
Rating Criteria
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.
2.5/5 -
Chipmunks meets Castaway/Swiss Family Robinson, honestly. The plot line very lacking and mostly predictable. Music was very pop and annoying, worse than the last two movies.
There was NO character development except Simon's Simone side and wtf was that?! Simon gets bonked on the head and adopts a carefree French-style accent. Shows Jeanette that he likes her and comes to her rescue quickly, just to end up trying to sweep her away (bedazzle her).
WTF was Ian on that ship for and what was the odds of him being on the same cruise. Seriously, the ODDS of the two being on the same ship (and Ian NOT getting reprimanded for his rudeness towards Dave, whom is a guest) is very low. And we have to accept it because it is how far Ian has fallen since he was so unfairly mean to the Chipmunks and Chipettes in movies 1 and 2? Come on....
Wtf was the dance off between some preppy girls and the Chipettes? Eleanor didn't "step" on the woman's foot; she bumped into her. And why were the women so b*tchy? I mean, they are chipmunks! Maybe the women didn't like small animals unless they were made into fur coats. And though both sides of the dance off were dirty (one woman picking Brittany up and using her as a hacky-sack, the other two chipmunks tripping the main woman, etc), it seemed that the Chipettes won. How? I don't know. It didn't make sense to me. Here's the scene, so you can make your own opinion:
Overall, as a stand alone movie, this sucked. As a continuation of the chipmunk movies, it did very little to live up to its predecessors. I almost didn't watch the fourth movie because this one left such a bad taste in my mouth. There were just too many small things that put me off (the girl on the island talking to some sports balls like "Castaway" as her companions, Simone being a stuck-up carefree character, the island gal having a "Tomb Raider" motive of why she is on the island and using a chipmunk to retrieve the gold from a nook though the island's volcano is about to go boom, Ian in general, etc.). Personally, I regret watching this movie but it wasn't a complete loss, I guess. I don't recommend it, unless you have a small kid that insists on watching it.
That's my two cents for this movie. Thanks for reading!
