As much as I was dreading this movie it was better than expected, which may not be saying much. Alvin, the Chipmunks, the Chipettes and Dave are on a cruise ship taking them to the location for the International Music Awards. Alvin is causing trouble, as usual, and Dave has his hands full. Kids will love the slapstick doings on the ship and the havoc the little rodents create among the passengers. The attempt at drama when Simon tells Dave how to handle Alvin is fairly silly but at a level children will understand.
One of Alvin’s antics gets the Chipmunks sailing away from the ship on a kite and plunks them down on an uncharted island. Of course Dave jumps in after them and the nasty man, their former manager, is there in a pelican suit and he ends up in the drink with Dave.
The rest of the movie takes place on the island where they meet a crazed young woman who has been there for ten years. Treasure gets involved in this meandering plot as well. Once the Chipmunks are reunited with Dave and the manager, they go about trying to get off the island and back to civilization. Yes, they make it back and Alvin is forgiven for his bad behavior, again! A few more subplots are thrown in, like Simon getting bitten by a spider and having a personality change. While that is often confusing, it doesn’t appear to be in this movie.
I love the music, always the best part of the Chipmunks movies. The chivalrous way the boy chipmunks treat the girls is heartwarming and sends good messages. There is a scene in a casino where the Chipmunks gamble and a dance off with human women that is mild. There is no violence, bad language or sex. While adults might be bored to tears, Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked is okay for kids age 5 and up who can behave and sit still in a movie theater. Call grandma.
