I suppose it's a matter of whether or not you grew up with them, as I did, or if you've grown accustomed to hearing them after the previous films. those high pitched voices are their trademark anyway. All of them are now out of their element and they discover that there's more to themselves than what they've always perceived themselves.A lot of people find the chipmunks' voices annoying, there's not much that I or anyone could do about that, I mean. All of a sudden, Alvin who usually plays by his own rules, is forced to be the responsible one, Simon who's brilliant and uptight is now daring, spontaneous and oddly enough French, Theodore who's the naive and innocent one now finds himself adjusting to an environment that's out of his comfort zone, similar changes happen to the chippettes. The whole thing is more or less a chipmunked Lord Of The Flies but as I said earlier you get to be introduced to new sides of the characters. This is after all, the season of musical non-human characters, like Happy Feet 2 and The Muppets and I think ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS: CHIP-WRECKED is strong enough to face the competition.I really appreciate the fact that ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS: CHIP-WRECKED is not just gimmick, I appreciate the fact that the film actually has a story that works. This installment is way catchier and funnier than its predecessors. It's not Alvin And The Chipmunks movie if they don't sing or perform some of today's most popular hits from such artist as Lady Gaga to Willow Smith. And responsibility that come with growing up and being independent.Don't dismiss this film as just something only young viewers or kids would enjoy, I think the film will also charm and entertain young adults, adults, and parents because the humor and especially the song selection in ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS movies have references to today's pop culture, it even pokes fun at Lord of The Rings, the film Cast Away, and the original James Bond.
