Alvin And The Chipmunks: Chipwrecked review

Singing rodents marooned on a desert island

Reviews

Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy.

Critical resistance is futile, as the Chipmunks (and the Chipettes) return for a third outing in the depressingly successful franchise.

This time, hijinks aboard a cruise ship lead to the singing rodents being marooned on a desert island, with manager Dave (Jason Lee) and double-crossing rival Ian (David Cross) on rescue duties.

Steel yourself for a mix of slapstick humour, high-pitched cover versions – weep at the butchering of Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ – and conservative family values: at least chipmunk Simon develops a devil-may-care alter ego.
