Python Hyena Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (2009): Dir: Betty Thomas / Cast: Jason Lee, David Cross, Zachary Levi, Wendie Malick, Anjelah Johnson: One could say that the budget went to the guy who came up with the subtitle. As lame as it is, it certainly surpasses anything the screenplay possessed. After Dave has an accident, the three singing chipmunks are sent to live with an aunt and go to school. Then she has an accident due too Dave's idiotic nephew. After a bout with bullies they are set to help the school win a talent contest. Directed by Betty Thomas with Alvin, Simon and Theodore looking fantastic but the story is lame. Thomas has directed a broad range of films from the excellent Howard Stern bio-comedy Private Parts to the Sandra Bullock rehab 28 Days. This is hardly one of her superior projects. Jason Lee as Dave spends the whole film laid up, which is probably for the better seeing that he is second to CGI chipmunks. David Cross plays an idiotic villain out to exploit a female chipmunk band. He must endure the embarrassment of dressing up as a female chipmunk that looks straight out of Donnie Darko's worst nightmares. Zachary Levi plays Dave's lazy nephew who sleeps and plays video games. One supposes that anything is better than being part of this film. Terrible family entertainment that should squeak underneath one's tires as the car backs out of the driveway. Score: 2 / 10

lisafordeay I saw this a couple of times before and the main reason why I watch it is because of one man Zachary Levi. I saw Zac in the 2010 animated hit Tangled and thought that he was actually a really funny guy. Here he plays Toby Seville who is the nephew of Dave Seville and he has to look after the chipmunks Alvin voiced by Justin Long, Theodore voiced by Jessie McCartney and Simon voiced by Matthew Gray Gubler while their owner Dave played by Jason Lee is in hospital as Alvin was messing on stage and accidentally knocked him out with a big cardboard of himself. So meanwhile we are also introduced to 3 new chipmunks called The Chipettes and their new owner played by David Cross from Megamind who was the voice of the minion in that film. He of course uses them as revenge on Alvin and his brothers as they ditched him from the first movie.SO Alvin and his brothers also have to go to school and they later meet up with the Chipettes.The film is slightly irritating but if your looking for a good laugh or if you are a fan of Zachary Levi then check it out. For me im giving it a 5 out of 10.

MissSimonetta I was about as excited about watching The Squeakquel as Marie Antoinette was about walking to the guillotine. From the trailer alone, you can tell this was made with the hope of making a quick buck with as little quality as possible. It succeeded, as it made millions of quick bucks at the box office and it just made another when my mother decided to buy the DVD. We decided to spend quality time together watching this thing, and after wasting precious minutes of my life with bad jokes and a stale plot, I have decided to review it.The chipmunk trio is sent to high school, where they deal with stereotypical high school problems and have a rivalry with a female group of chipmunks, The Chipettes. The Chipette's manager is the greedy manager of the Chipmunks from the last movie, seeking to reclaim his former glory by making millions off of the female group's talent. Then, there's a plot where the Chipmunks sign up for a talent show in order to win money for the school's music program, which is losing funding, a plot I'm sure has never before been used.The story is about as interesting as the synopsis. You could make a drinking game based off of how often you can predict what's going to happen next. None of the characters besides the main trio are interesting, the jokes fall flat, and all the high school "trauma" the chipmunks deal with is about as real as an episode of Saved By the Bell.Now, I wasn't expecting Citizen Kane or some grade A masterpiece with complex themes and characters. I knew perfectly well this is a kids film and not one of excellent quality at that. It fails nonetheless. Just because a movie is for kids doesn't mean you have to reach for the lowest common denominator in order to entertain them, it doesn't mean you have to give them a thin plot with the freshness of a rotten apple core, it doesn't mean you have to reach for teenage stereotypes that should have been out with big hair, and it doesn't mean you shouldn't at least TRY to put a decent amount of effort into the final product! 3/10
