tlmylm I'm by no means a fan of the ''Alvin and the Chipmunks'' film, I didn't really hate the first film, but I really hated the second film, and the third film was bad, too. So I wasn't excited at all when I heard a 4th film was coming out, and after watching it, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT THAT THIS FILM IS THE WORST IN THE SERIES.Let's start with the story. It's bland, predictable, and just awful, like the other films in the series, which all had terrible stories, but this film has the worst of them all.Then there's the writing, which is also abysmal, too. It focuses too much on unfunny humor(which I will talk about later), and cringe worthy pop culture references, too, which is NOT GOOD. Really.And then there's the humor, and wow, it's filled to the brim with potty humor, which makes it VERY UNFUNNY. It also doesn't help that the chipmunks are back, too. Yeah, they are annoying, like always, but this film easily shows them AT THEIR WORST. Yeah, the Chipettes do return in this film as well, but they have very little screen time, and that actually might be a good thing. CAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THESE HIGH PITCHED VOICES OVER AND OVER AGAIN! And the less I say about the musical numbers(which are just really bad chipmunk versions of modern day pop songs), THE BETTER! I'm not saying much for the acting, because by the time we get to the 4th film, you can already tell how bland it is.The only good thing about the film are the CGI effects, which are now done by the masters at Weta Digital. Yeah, the chipmunks still look like they're in the uncanny valley, but I think the effects and animation look seamless and very well done. It's just too bad they have annoying characters to work with.Wow. I can't believe how abysmal this film is. Aside from the CGI effects, everything about this film is very shoddy in their own level. Please. Save your time and money and DO NOT SEE THIS FILM.And to end this review, I'm going to end with what Jason Lee(as Dave) says at each and every film. ''ALVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'' (To be honest, this film really deserves a 0.5/10, but the lowest IMDb can give is a 1/10. So there.)

Andi Robinson I must confess that I had been waiting to see this film for what must have been forever! I am a huge chipmunk fan. Ever since I first saw "The Chipmunk Adventure" as a child, I have always high a soft spot for those high pitched animals. Today it just happened to be showing at my local cinema and at a very cheap price I thought why not.This is the fourth movie starring these little guys (The Chipmunks, The Chipmunks: The Squeakqual, The Chipmunks: Chipwrecked) and I was a little bit worried that they might be starting to get a bit old and would loose its way. And at the start I thought I was going to be proved right. The beginning opens up with the lead singer from LMFAO, Redfoo, at a surprise party for Dave and performing one of his new songs. It felt like it was a 5 minute promotional video for it, the only way that they could get him to appear in the film. However, once this has happened the movie feels like it is starting proper and I am pleased to inform you, it doesn't disappoint. It isn't a very long running film at only 1hr 32 minutes, but it dosen't feel rushed and the film moves along at a good pace. In terms of the story line it works really well and poses the question of what is family and to quote the film "family comes in all different shapes". The skill of making these CGI characters interact with the 'Real World' is impressive. Whether this is just the interaction with the actors or ensuring the reflections in the glass or shadows on the ground, they have done everything to make you believe that the Chipmunks, and of course the Chippettes are as real as you and me. The film also has a break away from having the character Ian Cross in the film. This did make a nice change but apart of me did miss him. The film was highly amusing and kept me entertained throughout. The only criticism I would have is that it was difficult to hear the lyrics in the final number and as it wasn't a track that would have been heard before, unless you got the soundtrack, made it difficult to understand. But apart from that I loved the film and already added it to my Christmas List to Santa and I can't wait for the fifth installment!Just Average Joe Film Review Score: 10/10 http://tajfr.blogspot.co.uk

laurenbfrancis I went into this movie expecting nothing but greatness and woah mama I was not disappointed. The genius intertwining plots and complexity of characters spoke to me on an emotional level. You can tell the amount of work the writers put into this movie and it really payed off.Without giving away too many plot details, this is another original and creative addition to the Alvin and the Chipmunks franchise. The Chipmunks themselves share a lot of screen time with an additional character who shall not be named with a mysterious background that causes the chipmunks to have to make some tough decisions on how they can progress their rode trip.This work of art has changed my life would highly recommend.
