Critic Reviews

  • Karina Longworth, Time Out New York

    Blending CGI and live action, this "squeakquel" to the witless 2007 kids' film proves just how dangerous such technology is when placed in the wrong hands.

  • Mary F. Pols, MSN Movies

    There are worse forms of torture.

  • Kyle Smith, New York Post

    It's far from the most unpleasant kiddie flick I've sat through this year, although I would be misleading you if I promised you lots of laughs.

  • Eric D. Snider, Film.com

    Being aimed at children isn't a valid excuse for a movie to be simple-minded and illogical. You know that, right?

  • Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

    Whatever limited charms the first version had -- mostly David Cross' portrayal of Ian, the greedy manager who exploits the furry creatures -- have since soured.

    The squeakquel to the boring crapfest that was the first Alvin and the Chipmunks is a major improvement. I can see believable brotherly love and chemistry in this film, in contrast to hyperactive, incredibly annoying and overall, plain bad role models in the first one. Better… More

    Adding female version was just lame. And look, one of them was wearing glasses. Where and how the hell did that happened? First one was convincing and fun but this? Forget it. And Dave's yell was irritating. Liked the songs though.

  • Alexander D


    Not as good or funny as the original Chipmunk film. Some parts are funny, but mostly it's just more unoriginal songs...plus the annoying new Chippettes.
