The school Principle played by the delightful Wendie Malick is a closet-fan of the Chipmunks and asks the boys to compete in a "battle-of-the-bands" type contest to win $25,000 to save the schools music program but Alvin's other activities begin to jeopardize their chances. Eventually Alvin's winning personality wins over the jocks and they ask him to joins the football team, which begins to put a tear in his relationship with his brothers. It was important to Dave that the boys go to high school and learn to have normal lives but they don't exactly fit in with the other kids right away. Soon the Chipmunks return home where they meet Dave's Aunt Jackie (Kathryn Joosten) who will be taking care of them while Dave is recovering, however when Aunt Jackie accidentally falls down a flight of stairs, Dave's lazy-gamer cousin Toby played by Zachary Levi is forced to take care of the furry critters. During he show, while Alvin is showing off his musical skills their fearless leader, Dave Seville once again played by Jason Lee, is injured and the boys are forced to go home to the states without him.
#ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS THE SQUEAKQUEL ENDING DAVE MOVIE#
The film begins not long after the end of the last movie as we see that the Chipmunks are still a rock n' roll sensation and playing a benefit concert in Paris, France. But it's the voice performances of the films female stars, Christina Applegate, Amy Poehler and Anna Farris, as the Chipettes, the Chipmunks female counterparts that will completely steal the movie and steal your heart. TV's "Chuck," Zachary Levi, who takes over for actor Jason Lee who is awkwardly absent throughout most of the film proves that he does have what it takes to anchor a big screen comedy like this. The script is decent and the acting is very funny and will make you laugh especially the absolutely hilarious David Cross. Lets be honest, this film is not going to win any awards, but given the depth of kids movies available this holiday season, "The Squeakquel," is one film that will delight children and not cause adults to want to slit their wrists while watching the film. You can tell that a comedy-pro like Betty Thomas has stepped into direct and she and her team have completely saved the franchise in my opinion. However, I have been proven wrong with the new film "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel." Now don't get me wrong, I don't exactly think it was the greatest movie ever made but I did like it and for a kids movie it really does hit all the right beats.
Often I find that if I thought a movie was completely horrible to begin with, than chances are I'm not going to like it's sequel.
Let me begin by saying that I really didn't care much for the 2007 live-action feature film, "Alvin and the Chipmunks," based on the beloved singing critters from my youth. Far superior to its bland and boring predecessor, comedy-pro Betty Thomas injects the film with some much needed energy and fun by sending our heroes to high school and introducing the beloved, Chipettes, making a holiday movie fit for the entire family.
