Alvin, Simon, Theodore and the Chipettes are stranded on a deserted island in Alvin and the Chipmunks 3: Chipwrecked. Kidzworld has the movie review.

Aboard the Ship

It was supposed to be a nice, relaxing family vacation. But the minute Dave and the chipmunks board the cruise ship, Alvin begins his usual childish stunts. Meanwhile Dave feels like the ship’s pelican mascot is out to get him, and when he discovers that it’s Ian - the chipmunk’s former manager - he knows he’s right.

Alvin Stirs Up Trouble

While Dave naps on a lounger, Alvin gets a hold of a kite and uses it as a parasail. But when the parasail gets caught in a gust of wind, he and the chipmunks are pulled overboard. Terrified, Dave tries save them, but when Ian intercepts, they both wind up going overboard as well.

Stranded

Separately, the chipmunks, Dave and Ian wash up on a deserted island. Alvin and his pals meet a woman who’s been stranded on the island for so many years that she now talks to a group of athletic balls as though they’re her friends. Meanwhile, Simon is bit by a toxic spider, causing his personality to change from level-headed and self-conscious to brave and French. Alvin is forced to take on the responsible role and build everyone some shelter.

Will Dave and the chipmunks ever reunite? And will any of them ever find a way off the island?

The Bottom Line

This film had its good points and bad points. On the plus side, it has many funny moments and a ton of catchy modern songs. On the downside, the plot is silly, the female castaway can’t act, and after a while, the chipmunks’ voices start to grate on you. If you’re humming and hawing over whether or not to see this movie, we suggest that you wait for the DVD.
