Critics Consensus

In some respects, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip is a marginal improvement over prior installments, although this in no way qualifies as a recommendation.

Bashing your head against the wall would be more fun than The Road Chip.

Normally dependable comic actors are wasted in roles.

Observer (UK)

The absence of long-standing series stalwart David Cross is a shame (Tony Hale can't quite fill the gap) but Jason Lee is back, making it business as usual.

Alvin And The Chipmunks: Road Chip has enough crazy scenes and music sequences to keep younger kids happy while the older generations will warm to the more heartfelt moments throughout the film. Yes this film isn’t the car crash many expected it would be.

Half of this movie is, "Oh! This is what Chipmunks could have been!" and the other have is just "Oh. This is what Chipmunks have always been."

Honestly this movie was the worst Chipmunk movie. The only good part is the very end. The plot of it is pretty boring. Kids would possibly enjoy this movie. If you want to watch a good Chipmunk movie though watch the first two they were awesome. Spoil alert Dave is having a secret surprise party everyone is partying. Dave comes home and party is over. The girl chipmunks leave to go on American Idol. The next day the chipmunks and Dave go golfing only to run into their possible future step mom and step brother(Myles). Myles bullies the chipmunks without his mom or Dave noticing. Back at home the chipmunks see Dave has a ring. The chipmunks do everything they can to prevent the marriage from happening so they don’t have Myles as a brother. Plan fails. Dave not trusting the chipmunks while he’s away leaves Myles with them. The Chipmunks tell Myles about the ring. Surprisingly Myles doesn’t want it to happen either so they go on a long trip to stop their parents from getting engaged. Alvin and the chipmunks are scared when Myles tells them that Dave will kick them out if they have kids together because they are not his real sons. Along the way Myles and the Chipmunks work together and learn more about eachother. There is an evil man in this that is super annoying and hates the chipmunks. He tries to track their location the whole time. When the night proposal was supposed to happen they got the ring but immediately regret it after realizing they had a great time with Myles. They give the ring back to Dave but it was a misunderstanding he wasn’t purpose it was someone else’s ring. The chipmunks and Myles perform. Myles gets a girl. While the chipmunks get Dave back. Before they go home Dave takes them to the court house and adopts the chipmunks. Everyone is happy. Only until they get home and the house is ruined from squirrels. Making Dave angry of course. The adoption part is always so tear jerky
