A movie where the only conception of life seems to come from other movies makes for no kind of movie at all. Go to Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post 12/05/2008

You would think that by now budding filmmakers would have given up on making a Woody Allen movie. Go to Full Review Nathan Lee New York Times 12/05/2008

This sort of thing was indulgent enough the first time around; transplanted to the mumblecore milieu, it's intolerable. Go to Full Review Sara Maria Vizcarrondo Boxoffice Magazine 01/05/2009
2/5
The film ends up feeling like even creative inspiration and apotheosis is hopeless because all that can ever emerge from these characters is derivative of some earlier work. When you look at it this way, Chirp can't help seeming like a time capsule... Go to Full Review Matt Pais Metromix.com 12/11/2008
2/5
The line between being pretentious and calling it out is awfully thin ... continually points a finger at obnoxious New York behavior while simultaneously perpetuating it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/03/2010 Expected mumblecore... See more 12/05/2008 A really good script decently supported by a shoe-string budget that accomplishes the the spirit of the story if not it's full needs. See more 12/05/2008 The Variety rvw was right on...I saw a DVD screener of this movie and it was hilarious. Pithy dialogue, great acting, a handful of inventive shots & insights. Can't wait to see this on the big screen. See more 12/02/2008 I thought the story was good enough, just horribly shot and even worse acting. I Hyped Let Them Chirp Awhile on Everhype and gave it 75% which I think is fairly accurate. http://www.everhype.com/hyper/mikeborgia?X=M767 I wouldn?t mind getting some opinions on it . If you get on there, rate me a 5 & request friendship. See more Read all reviews
