Movie Buff: Alvin And The Chipmunks 2

|



Oh yeah! im back to KL! really have very enjoyable christmas trip. will update more on the following post. I went to pavilion today with Jess for the Alvin And The Chipmunks 2: The Squeakuel show after had our dinner at KFC. the bad boys are back for the second sequel after 2 years. and still remain the same. really relaxing and fun to watch. ^^



below is a summary of the movie:

In the "Alvin And The Chipmunks 2: The Squeakuel", pop sensations Alvin, Simon and Theodore end up in the care of Dave Seville's twenty-something nephew Toby (Zachary Levi). The boys must put aside music superstardom to return to school, and are tasked with saving the school's music program by winning the US$25,000 prize in a battle of the bands. But the Chipmunks unexpectedly meet their match in three singing chipmunks known as "The Chipettes" - Brittany, Eleanor and Jeanette. Romantic and musical sparks are ignited when the Chipmunks and Chipettes square off.






Movie Review


All the characters from the first movie return to the sequel with the addition of new cast members. The new Chipettes are voiced respectively by Christina Applegate as Brittany, Anna Faris as Jeanette, and Amy Poehler as Eleanor. Jason Lee returns as the Chipmunks guardian, Dave Seville, and David Cross as the villain Ian Hawke. The new characters, other than the Chipettes are Zachary Levi as Dave's cousin Toby, and Wendie Malick as the Chipmunks school principal Dr. Rubin. Kathryn Joosten makes a cameo as Dave's Aunt Jackie, tasked to look after the Chipmunks when Dave gets injured.




The movie starts off at a fast pace. The story just dives into the Chipmunks world, there is no introduction for first time viewers. It is advisable that if planning to see the movie, do watch the first one. Otherwise, there'll be some serious confusion going on as the movie expects viewers from the first movie who know the characters well to catch this sequel.





Still, as Alvin and the Chipmunks are well-known characters and have been around for long, expect die-hard fans to catch this movie. This movie is definitely made for the kiddie audience and yes; they'll have a great time watching it, as it doesn't disappoint in terms of pace, dialogue, and action. Among the songs featured and sung by both the Chipmunks and Chipettes are Katy Perry's "Hot N Cold", Beyonce's "Single Ladies", and Flo Rida's "Right Round". If you love the songs and want to see them done chipmunk-style, then go watch this movie.





The CGI in the movie of the Chipmunks and Chipettes are acceptable. While not brilliant, the audience won't mind. Performance wise, the voice actors do a good job in their roles. However, Lee's Dave character seems to have fewer screen time compared to in the first movie.
