Now in the care of Dave Seville's nephew (Zachary Levi), chipmunks Alvin, Simon and Theodore take a break from pop-music stardom and return to school. Almost immediately, the tiny tunesmiths get the giant task of saving their school's music program by winning a battle-of-the-bands contest. Though the boys think winning it will be easy, romantic and musical sparks fly when they meet Brittany, Eleanor and Jeannette -- also known as The Chipettes.

Critics Consensus

This Squeakquel may entertain the kiddies, but it's low on energy and heavily reliant on slapstick humor.

Kim Newman

Empire Magazine

Alvin must be the most unsympathetic lead in any kiddie franchise, and having him do squeaked-up De Niro impersonations doesn't help.

Rated: 2/5

Derek Malcolm

London Evening Standard

They call this the "squeakquel" and that's about all you'll want to know about a film that remorselessly pulls all the levers of the first highly successful box-office attraction.

Rated: 1/5

Time Out

Blending CGI and live action, this "squeakquel" to the witless 2007 kids' film proves just how dangerous such technology is when placed in the wrong hands.

I cant stress this enough, WHY WERE THE CHIPMUNKS SO FREAKY!!?? Let me paint a picture for you, You are a freshman in high school on your choir’s feild trip to toronto. Your old decrepit tour guide Gary randomly takes you to a meat market and you don't want to be there. You hate it so you go to the thrift shop down the street. You take a gander around and then you find Alvin and The Chipmunks The Squeakuel. You think its silly and then you remember that the bus ride home needs a movie playing on the Tv’s, turns out you purchase it and then 2 days later as the bus driver takes you home you are subjected to the unimaginable torture of enduring this wet fart of a film. My life would be better is i had not left the market for the thrift store, so i am telling you to listen to Gary
