Alvin And The Chipmunks The Squeakuel Movie Free TheSqueakuel Review
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel is a kids’ comedy that screams “Direct to DVD” — in high, squeaky, three-part harmony.
Whatever slim charms there were in the nostalgic, musically cute and slapstick-friendly first film of chipmunk mania are squished right out of The Squeakuel like so much rodent roadkill. The cast is cut-rate, and the script needed a serious visit from a serious gag writer.
Apparently, Fox blew the budget on tunes. Songs from Beyonce and Katy Perry to the Bee Gees and the Kinks are amusingly covered by competing bands of harmonizing forest fauna.
Alvin, Simon and Theodore take a step back from fame to go to West Eastman High School, where they cope with bullies, girls, budget cuts to the school music program and Alvin’s (voiced by Justin Long) egomania. He’s all about fitting in with the jocks, ditching his nerdy brothers, slinging the slang.
They do it all without their “Dad,” David Seville (Jason Lee, wisely opting to do his few scenes in traction in a hospital room). So Dave’s irresponsible, video-game addict cousin Toby (Zachary Levi) is put in charge.
New ‘Alvin And The Chipmunks’ Squeakuel movie clip shows Dodgeball cremation. 20th Century Fox has revealed a funny new clip from it’s upcoming “Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Squeakuel” movie. It involves their first day of school,and being cremated in a rough game of Dodgeball. The movie stars: Jason Lee, Justin Long, David Cross, Matthew Gray Gubler, Jesse McCartney, Anna Faris, Christina Applegate, Amy Poehler, and Zachary Levi.
In this clip,Toby finds the chipmunks hiding under a toilet lid because they don’t want to go to school.However, Toby forces them to go. Then it cuts to a clip of them being pounded in a rough game of Dodgeball during physical ed.
They get slammed up against the wall,numerous times. Then at the very end,one of the guys says, ” your next furrball” to Alvin. It look like he gets slammed to the ground,but then he reveals that he’s caught the ball,and says, “Boo-Ya.”
Theatrical Review (by Dustin Putman): 2007’s “Alvin and the Chipmunks” featured cute CG-created creatures interacting with live-action people and surroundings, slapstick humor and fart jokes, and a hypocritical storyline that frowned upon the ugliness of mass-market corporations, product placement and overconsumption even as the film itself and the over-produced music within were examples of all three. Naturally, the movie made a mint in spite of its distasteful elements, racking up more than $200-million at the domestic box office. The inevitable sequel, “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel,” doubles the amount of chipmunks on display, features twice as much (and better) music, keeps the juvenile bathroom humor intact, and isn’t quite as obnoxious in its contradictory mixed messages. Unfortunately, it is just as lazy from a conceptual standpoint, dealing in a plot as tired as it is shamelessly derivative and a script that could turn stomachs with the amount of worthless, uninspired, outdated pop-cultural references thrown at the viewer. There must be rules for playing the human straight man or woman in talking-critter movies. Rule one has to be “Don’t make the audience feel sorry for you for taking the part.” Whatever charms network executives saw in Levi (TV’s Chuck and Less Than Perfect), he hasn’t the charisma to fill even a small fraction of the big screen. He doesn’t try. Levi didn’t phone this in — he texted.
A Destiny’s Child-inspired counter-group, The Chipettes — managed by the Chipmunks’ old agent-nemesis, Ian (David Cross) — shows up to shake their money makers, tempt the boys and sing (Single Ladies) Put a Ring on It and other recent girl-group hits. The script — Jon Vitti, Jonathan Abel and Glenn Berger will be deleting this from their resumes — has one laugh in it. One. If you don’t know what “Dutch Oven!” means in relation to flatulence, ask your kids.
