Alvin And The Chipmunks : The Road Chip (2015) 6/10

Starring : Jason Lee, Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler, Jesse McCartney, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Josh Green, Tony Hale, Bella Thorne
Director : Walt Becker
Running Time : 92 mins

When Alvin (Long) and his brothers mistakenly believe that Dave (Lee) is planning on proposing to his new girlfriend Samantha (Williams-Paisley), they worry that they’ll either be stuck with her bully of a son Miles (Green) as a step-brother, or that Dave will abandon them. So they decide to sabotage the proposal by travelling across the country to Miami and steal the ring.

I’m honestly surprised that there’s still enough money left in this franchise to allow companies to make a fourth movie, but I guess they must be profitable. This was better than Chipwrecked, but I don’t know if it made sense to make another Chipmunks movie. It seems that Jason Lee can’t get any other work in Hollywood (even though I like him), so at least this means he’s still getting some sort of recognition, but even the guest actors didn’t make sense (any child watching this who recognises Crazy Eyes from Orange Is the New Black should probably be taken into care. Children might find a few laughs here, but there isn’t that much on offer for adult viewers.
