Alvin and The Chipmunks: Chip-Wrecked

"As impressive as the CG elements are in "Chipwrecked," they're a mixed blessing: The more lifelike the techies make the critters -- Alvin (voiced by Justin Long), Theodore (Jesse McCartney) and Simon (Matthew Gray Gubler) -- the more we're reminded they're rodents."

"Steel yourself for a mix of slapstick humour, highpitched cover versions and conservative family values."

"To be fair, this franchise was never intended to appeal to anyone over six. Parents should take along their own entertainment."

"No swear words here; just harmless fun."

"I fear the furry singing sensations may have finally run completely aground. If only they were truly stranded on that desert island…"

"From the p.o.v. of its targeted young audiences (it’s G-rated, as opposed to those prior PG ratings) it should handily do the trick."

"With its wall-to-wall pop covers, Chipwrecked isn't a kids' movie so much as a brightly animated, instantly forgettable animated feature-length advertisement for the NOW That's What I Call Music! compilation series of contemporary pop hits."
