Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked Review + Printable Easter Cards!

Everyone’s favorite chipmunks Alvin, Simon and Theodore, and their female companions, The Chipettes, have the time of their lives during a family vacation they’ll never forget in ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS: CHIPWRECKED, debuting on Blu-ray, DVD and digital download on March 27 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. The hilarious live-action comedy will also be available as an exciting “Island Adventure” edition on Blu-ray and 2-Disc DVD, filled with tons of fun for the whole family to enjoy just in time for Easter.

The Chipmunks, Chipettes and their caretaker Dave Seville (Jason Lee; “My Name is Earl”) embark on a trip of a lifetime aboard the Carnival Dream cruise ship. Seeking fun and excitement, the Chipmunks turn the luxury cruise liner into their own personal playground. But the ultimate vacation quickly becomes a disaster when the Chipmunks, Dave and Carnival cruise pelican mascot, who turns out to be the chipmunks’ old manager, Ian Hawke (David Cross; Megamind), accidentally fall overboard and find themselves ‘chipwrecked’ on a remote island. Stuck in an unfamiliar territory, the six furry castaways are separated from Dave and must figure out a way to survive on their own for the first time in their lives.

Additional special features on the Blu-ray and DVD include sing-a-long music videos, behind-the-scenes featurettes, extended scenes, and more.

Our Take: (from my 6-year old) My favorite part is all the singing.  I like the songs because we have them on our iPods.  My favorite is “Whip My Tail Back and Forth.”  The Chipmunks hold on to a kite and flew away to an island after a disaster from Alvin, of course! Then they meet a girl and sing “Bad Romance.”  Zoe wasn’t very nice she had Brittany on a leash, but when Simon’s voice changes that was funny!

(from me) In this Chipmunks installment, the movie was carried by the great popular music.  I found myself getting distracted easily with the story line, usual antics, and the incessant whining of Jason Lee (Dave).  I found the Chippettes cute but the characters of Zoe and Ian just mis-cast and annoying.  I would enjoy the soundtrack, but I won’t watch the movie again.  My kids will only for the music I’m sure.
