Ok, this movie is as bad as the second but better. But, the name of this movie sound as bad as it is, right? This movie is a total Shipwreck, oh I'm sorry "Chipwreck". Where's the plot? Are the chipmunks not in school anymore? Also, are animals even allowed on cruises? Yet again, we met Ian Hawk and some weird chick named Zoey who has no friends. Zoey is also a really annoying charecter because the only reason why she was on the island is because she spent almost a decade trying to find some hidden treasure.It's still a more enjoyable film than the second movie, but all the singing was just bad. Don't forget Simon, he gets bitten by a spider and then makes him feel all Russian of course.

Seriously, i think this movie thinks normal cinema is drive by cinema, we have literally no begginning, and no end, it just sort of comes and goes, the story is bland, the characters are, of course, bland, and the music is, GUESS WHAT???, bland, this movie is like drinking soda, you drink, feel nothing, feel a stomach ache and them you forgot you drank soda2/10- Blandest movie of 2011

I'm a huge fan of the 80s Chipmunks, even though I didn't grow up with them and I got to know them with the 2007 live action movie. "Alvin and the Chipmunks" (1983-1990) is certainly a clever cartoons series and it doesn't treat children like idiots. The characters are also cool and adorable at the same time. However, this movie is pretty disappointing. I think there are three big problems that make this movie unbearable for adults to watch: 1) The human actors don't give a **** about the movie and their acting is really bored and they look annoyed and frustrated all the time. Plus, the first 20 minutes of the movie don't help either: the humans all act like clowns. 2) Alvin: in the 80 series he was a mischievous kid, but at the end of the day, he had a heart of gold. In this movie, he's an annoying rat that makes lame jokes and annoys everyone. 3) The story isn't really new or original and they should have given some character development to Zoe (the new character who lives in an island). She's evil and after a while, she becomes good... too cheesy.But there're also good things in the movie: Simon, Theodore and the Chipettes. They're nice and they do some funny things while they're stuck in the island. The songs are average, I really missed the day when the Chipmunks had their OWN original songs and they didn't only make covers.Don't watch this movie unless you're under 8 or you're a huge chipmunk fan.

While the other Chipmunks movies did have some things going for them, this is just a mess. It really should be the death nail of the franchise, but I think they'll come up with something else in time. Still while there seems to be no real new addition (apart from one very crazy character, that just does not work in the family environment it is put in and may be a strange move by the producers to make this more accessible to grown-ups).The title pretty much gives away what you are going to see. But even with the familiar faces (or because of them) you will feel alienated. And while this still might work for most of the kids crowd this is aimed at, it also feels like an assault on your senses and your sanity. The other move to try to make the Chipmunks "grow up" does not work either (as portrayed here) and will surely be revised come Chipmunks 4
