Uninspired song and dance routines try desperately, and unsuccessfully, to paper over the cracks in the flimsiest of story lines. This is paint by numbers film making that promotes not one iota of originality through its entire running time.Uninspired song and dance routines try desperately, and unsuccessfully, to paper over the cracks in the flimsiest of story lines. This is paint by numbers film making that promotes not one iota of originality through its entire running time. One even has to question if young children will enjoy the dubious pleasures it offers. It feels like it has been churned out as a C grade release filler, and even though excessive mawkishness is largely resisted, the blatant amateurishness of the production drags it down.… Expand

To start of this movie the sweet talking teenage Chipettes are sent off to go party alone in LA or as they are calling it judge American idol .Probably living in a cardboard box or in a tree while partying inbetween takes .It's Dave To start of this movie the sweet talking teenage Chipettes are sent off to go party alone in LA or as they are calling it judge American idol .Probably living in a cardboard box or in a tree while partying inbetween takes .It's Dave birthday so we start it off with the blow up of the yelling of Alvinnn to start the movie . Dave leaves with his new girlfriend leaving the boys with a babysitter cutting down their ability to perform .Yet,the girls who are the same age are partying alone with no adult supervision down in LA .The girls must have proven their mature level is twice as high as The boys .

Dave's new girlfriends son is picking on the boys until he gets to know them better which is why the boys want to get rid of him and his mother so they take off after Dave thinking he is going to marry his mother after finding a ring in his bag .The main point of this movie to show what a great dad Dave is .So they fill it with potty jokes and chase Dave ending it with a special song just for him.Wait isn't this the same dad who sent 3 teenage girl's alone to LA to party without adult supervision .So now is when you have to remember the girls don't belong to Dave and he was just being the nice guy giving them a place to crash for awhile. Now that they are mature enough to live in a tree in LA they can move on .And we get to see the different reactions between them and the chipmunks boy and girl when they show up to help with the song .Its a kids movie so if your an adult who remembers this show as a kid and thought it would be funny to watch your old favorites you may be a little disappointed as its geared toward the kids .… Expand

Overall it's a kid friendly movie for the kids to enjoy so of course bring the kids and there are few laughs for the adults added in .It made sense why the Chipettes were missing for most of the movie it goes back to the basic plot of DaveOverall it's a kid friendly movie for the kids to enjoy so of course bring the kids and there are few laughs for the adults added in .It made sense why the Chipettes were missing for most of the movie it goes back to the basic plot of Dave and The chipmunks original theme but I did kind of wonder you just let 3 kids move out on there own with no adult to watch out for them .Ok they lived alone before Dave but then he hires the boys a babysitter who are suppose to be the same age .The Chipettes were not his children and this a cartoon not real life so you make the story line any way you want but odd how they the Chipmunks are so dependent on having a parent while the girls just take care of themselves .(hint if you make another movie maybe some parents other then Miss Miller not a fan of Miss Miller sorry)

Dave finally adopts the boys which maybe some of us have been waiting on for awhile .He has always been the parent he just has to do it to prove it to them .It's a good movie for the kids .… Expand

2015, AKA the year where everything was either great or overly corny/cringeworthy. This is the latter.
This one has slightly better writing than the first 2 films, but it's also tired by this point. And I feel like the 2015 release only2015, AKA the year where everything was either great or overly corny/cringeworthy. This is the latter.
This one has slightly better writing than the first 2 films, but it's also tired by this point. And I feel like the 2015 release only signified that.
In short, 2015 was weird.… Expand

The Road Chip isn't exactly what I'd call a good film and has almost nothing going on in the visual department, but for those saddled with kids for an afternoon, you could do a lot worse.
