Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip

The opening party represents what is best about the movie: it's pure mayhem and it's entirely silly.

Let's just get it out of the way right now: Reader, I liked it.

There’s a laziness to The Road Chip, what with its mostly stale or needy jokes and cutesy plotting.

The average lifespan of a chipmunk is five years – which means the kids’ cartoon franchise about the trio of singing superstar rodents has already outstayed its welcome.

A mostly harmless yet plenty rough assemblage of musical numbers and rote chases that barely add up to a movie.

Kids don’t need the Chipmunks movies to take them somewhere cheap. They deserve a comedy or a musical or a cartoon — none of which The Road Chip quite is — that’s more than a high-pitched distraction.

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip has sporadic laughs for the under-10 set and absolutely nothing for the poor parents sitting next to them.

Really enjoyed this film because of the family message in not only this film but all of these films. I hate the haters because they don't give a crud about family bonding or messages in these films at all. all the haters and critics give a crud about is the so called "Terrible CGI" and the "ruining of childhood". if it was that bad to you, why ask for it, then hate on it? People should really stop complaining and hating and just look at the good parts of the film, especially the family bond. It breaks my heart to know that people ignore these heartwarming family moments, and only watch it to make the people who made this feel like idiots. to be honest, I don't think the CGI was perfect! it still kept that cute, furry chipmunk look. also, the ruining of childhood thing is a lie, because it's still the chipmunks, they just changed the looks, voices, and made up not one, but 4 amazing story lines that all line up with the family bond. Guys, you should really lighten up and pay more attention to the good parts of the film instead of bashing out on it when you asked for this to be made. for those creators of these 4 films, I give you my support, and continue to love the chipmunks, no matter how old I am and no matter how much people judge. make a 5th film, and I'll be the first one in the theaters. I heart the chipmunks and the chipettes, and I kill the haters.

I would have to say this is probably my least favorite out of the series. It is funny but I'd rather watch the chipmunks get into mischief then his girlfriends son being jelly.

My first film of 2021 and on Metacritic - I know, I know... hold back your jealousy. I've watched the preceding three films and, genuinely, enjoyed the first two, the third isn't good but isn't bad either. 'Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip' is easily the weakest entry, but I still find it impossible to dislike these films. They're stupid but they kinda work, at least in terms of what their intended purpose is. The casting is quite something. Jason Lee, somewhat surprisingly, returns, with new addition Bella Thorne - who appears in, like, four scenes. You also have Christina Applegate, Anna Faris and Kaley Cuoco in voice roles, alongside appearances from "Crazy Eyes", "Stifler's Mom", "savior Jared" and "Crabman". Iykyk. I didn't care for any of it, the story is clichéd, nonsensical and woefully written - and there's barely even a road trip. I do, though, like the chipmunk animation, I chuckled a few times due to how they are animated. Rubbish no doubt, yet I can't say I hate it to be honest.

This is my least favorite of the Chipmunk movies. I used to like it when I was a kid, but not anymore. The problem is that it can be executed with such strange humor, and it's not as memorable enough. Also, the Chipettes don't appear as much. However, I like it when it goes like "Party! Alvin! Party! Alvin! Party! Alllllviiiiiin!" It happens twice, and they're memorable, but otherwise, the movie is not as good.

This movie should not exist. I did have a bit of fun watching it. The first one is by far the best.
