Alvin and the Chipmunks- Chipwrecked


Just imagine…
Half a dozen cute squirrels aboard a cruise ship; all decked up, singing & dancing! So far so good- but as usual Alvin, the most irresponsible chipmunk messes up & one of his disruptive antics on board results into an accident that leaves them marooned on a deserted island! Their manager cum dad, Dave fanatically tries to rescue them!
Well, if you have seen the Shin Chang movie, you might feel this plot is a cheap imitation. Imitation coz it’s almost on the same lines- Shin Chang was shipwrecked & Alvin is Chipwrecked! & cheap coz it lacks the sense of humor & a good script.
Very young kids will enjoy the movie but there is very little or absolutely negligible that can keep the adults engaged for too long. Despite we Indians being used to interruptions of the story by songs, we will find the song sequences by the chiplets & munks unnecessary, patchy & too frequent!
Animation is excellent & all the visuals are colorful, peppy & bright; but unfortunately it cannot compensate for the lack of substance. Watch the movie if you want to get “Brain-wrecked”!
