Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip-Wrecked

What I don't understand about this film is why somebody thought it was a good idea to have Alvin and his "parent" argue about whether he was mature enough to go about carrying a knife. Initially he gets it confiscated, then when he proves he can be sensible (on rare occasions), he gets rewarded with the knife back. Not a great message in a children's film I'd say: "Yes, sure, you've proved you can be mature enough to have a shiv. Now off you go to school, but don't chib anyone". I see there's a new sequel out. Presumably Alvin is still a mature sensible lad who still runs about tooled up?

most boring movie i ever saw. it is appropriate for all ages, just non recommended whatsoever.

I am going to be very honest. I like this movie. Though it can be annoying at times, I enjoy it every time I watch (and personally is one of the best ones out of all 4 of the movies). Many parents in the review section are posting negative reviews in regards to the Chipettes wearing bikinis. I would like to say that YES the clothing is rather revealing, however, they're animated characters. The animators were also cautious with the bikini length and made sure that the clothing wasn't tight. Also, they're on an island! What do you expect? Only thing I found most inappropriate was the fact that in one scene, the chipmunks, as well as the chipettes, sneak off to a casino. But I think its a relatively funny movie in general. I would prefer this over the new CGI animated 2015 cartoon version ANY day.

I agree with many of the other poor reviews. But what I found most troubling was the sexism and misogyny. The girls almost never get called by their names, they are just 'the girls' or the Chipettes. My daughter was trying to explain which one she liked, and could name all the boys but not the girls. The casino dance fight scene was also just a ridiculous sexist trope of girls fighting because someone (a very small furry one) stepped on someone else's foot.

Good movie my kids enjoyed it. Lots of fun although years after it came out the pop culture references are overly dated. My only gripe is something that thankfully my kids didn’t notice. When the Chippettes have the dance battle against those snookie lookalikes. The one with the green dress clearly flips the Chippettes the middle finger a couple of times. Aside from that good movie.

This is a good movie

I don't have major complaints about this movie. To my surprise, I even found the chipmunks cute. There were some scenes I didn't love for the values they modeled, in particular the sassy girl-fight dance-off (I just don't think it's cute for little girls to be sassy trash-talkers...). But the main thing was that my 6yo and another 6yo acquaintance of ours were both really scared in parts. The characters were in a lot of peril. The worst for my daughter was a snarly, attacking fish that sort of appeared out of nowhere when a chipmunk jumped in water. An adult character went from harmless crazy to nearly-murderous crazy. Dave got stuck dangling from a breaking log bridge while Alvin screams, "Please! Please! Help me save my dad!!" (yikes). And THEN the volcano explodes. Fireballs, billowing smoke clouds, rocks crashing down all around as the characters flee. I think most kids would do ok with this content, but if your child is prone to being scared by movies (especially scenes of meanness/cruelty or characters in peril), then "Chip-Wrecked" could be hard on them.

I think this movie is fine for kids about 7 and older; however, I do think it's important to KNOW YOUR CHILD, seeing as how the chipettes are a tad bit risque! I believe it all depends on how you're raising your child and what you feel they should be exposed to. I personally would rather they leave all the flirting and sexy-related jokes to the grown-up movies, but overall, if you don't mind your kids seeing it, it's an all-right movie!
