"Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked" (Alvin 3) Movie Review

Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked is the third installment to the Alvin and the Chipmunks series movie franchise. The movie started when Dave, the Chipettes, and the Chipmunks boarded a cruise ship for a well-deserved vacation after some series of tours and concerts probably done in the second installment of the movie where both groups were joined together by Dave.

While on board, Alvin started his (always) mischievous acts of playing around which made Dave decide to ground him. But Alvin, being the playful one, did not listen to Dave and still played around. While playing on a kite, Alvin, the Chipmunks, and the Chipettes accidentally marooned in a deserted tropical island paradise.

While on the island, Alvin thought Dave is not going to look for them because of his mischievous behaviors on the cruise ship. Not knowing what adventure lies ahead of them in the island, Alvin, the Chipmunks, and the Chipettes rely on their survival animal instincts to survive in the island. In the island, they found a cargo delivery girl who suffers from slight mental illness. She has different balls for friends, as if in the movie, Castaway, starring Tom Hanks. And no, Wilson is not there to comfort her but some other balls were there to accompany her.

Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked is a fun and cute movie for the whole family. If you want to see cute chipmunks singing and dancing to the tunes of popular pop music such as that of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance, then this movie is for you. It may have some flaws, like I did not find the cargo delivery girl at the ending performance (I really don't know what happened to her after all of what she had done in the movie), or the Pepe Le Pew-esque character of Simone were forgivable in a sense that you overlooked at these flaws because the chipmunks are sooo cute and adorable!

Simon (Simone) is a revelation, but Theodore is STILL the cutest of them all. Voice talent Jesse MacCartney has done a great job for Theodore! The Jungle Monster TV show scene is the best!

The story is heartwarming because of Jason Lee's character Dave and his realization of loving the imperfections of his "children" is very touching. The movie is also an upbeat and fun to watch! I recommend it to people who are into cute animal characters like the chipmunks! Below is the full movie trailer of Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked! Enjoy!
