Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel

Wednesday, March 24, 2010 by Lolli 2 Comments

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Alvin and the Chipmunks. All opinions are 100% mine.

In early December, when we announced to the kids that we were going to be spending the holidays in Florida with Nana and Grandpap, everyone was excited. The only hesitation came from KitKat, who lamented that she would not be able to see Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel for her birthday with all of her friends. Yes, apparently going to the theater to watch singing chipmunks was enticing enough that for a minute or two she considered skipping out on a trip to the beach in December.

I reassured her that there were theaters in Florida, and we happily took her and the rest of the kids to see the Squeakquel on her birthday. Everyone loved it. Even CandyMan.

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel

Now, 3 months later, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel is available on DVD, Blu-ray and Digital Download (on March 30th, 2010). The double DVD Pack includes “The Squeak Along” Bonus Disc, with more music and sing-alongs.

Did you see the movie in the theater? Are your kids eager to have it on DVD? Check out this family friendly film and add it to your home collection: buy it now!

Movie recap: Dave (Jason Lee) isn’t exactly the typical father figure with an average family, but he cares deeply about his adoptive chipmunks Alvin (Justin Long), Theodore (Jesse McCartney), and Simon (Matthew Gray Gubler). While the performing life presents its own unique challenges, Dave always does his best to instill a sense of compassion and familial love into his young charges. When Alvin begins to get a little too caught up in his own stardom, Dave reminds him to share the spotlight with his fellow chipmunks, but Alvin gets carried away and ends up inadvertently injuring Dave on location in Paris.

Aunt Jackie (Kathryn Joosten) steps in to look after the Chipmunks, but when her wheelchair rolls down a flight of stairs, only her irresponsible grandson Toby (Zachary Levi) is left to watch over the boys. An unemployed video gamer who lives with Jackie, Toby is completely unprepared for the responsibility of caring for the Chipmunks, but he agrees nonetheless.

Starting school is not easy for the Chipmunks, and they are the target of bullying from their very first day. But Alvin eventually works his way in with the popular crowd, leaving Theodore and Simon to fend for themselves with little support from Toby. The school principal (Wendie Malick) is one of the Chipmunks’ biggest fans, and when the school’s music department is about to be shut down due to lack of funds, she decides to enter them in a competition that will save the music program.

Enter the Chipettes–female chipmunks Brittany (Christina Applegate), Eleanor (Amy Poehler), and Jeanette (Anna Faris), who are seeking their own chance for singing stardom–and the Chipmunks’ dishonest ex-agent, Ian (David Cross), and the stage is set for some serious backstabbing competition. Craziness reigns as the two groups wage a musical war against one another, but in the end it all comes down to a question of what’s more important–stardom or friendship. As in the first Alvin and the Chipmunks movie, the music is strangely appealing despite being performed mostly in falsetto, the characters are cute, the action is comical, and the life lessons ring true. (Ages 6 and older with parental guidance due to some mild rude humor) —review by Tami Horiuchi on Amazon

More fun: For a little bit of free home fun, check out foxfamilyflicks.com for More Munk Mayhem and ‘munk’ yourself! Your kids will love this! It had AJ, Reese, and Necco in stitches. Here’s a video clip (that’s Reese’s design and Necco’s voice “munkified.”) I think she’s ready to be the next Chipette. What do you think?

There are lots of games and activities: Like the movie, it is a sure kid-pleaser!
