alvin and the chipmunks the squeakquel trailer 2

It occurred in the first Alvin and then again most recently in Planet 51. Of particular annoyance to me is something that has become increasingly popular in Hollywood: big names being vocally unrecognisable. Its these 'cute girl' routines which provide the bulk of the enjoyment as Alvin, Simon and Theodore's music acts become tired very fast. Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor (voiced by Applegate, Faris and Poehler respectively) provide two things: firstly, a reason for more girls to watch, secondly, and most importantly, the chance for the film to include female tunes. The major upside to the movie is still the song and dance numbers, which are turned up to eleven thanks to the arrival of The Chipettes. And worst of all the shallowness of the plot can't be redeemed by numerous hit songs getting 'munked', like achieved by its predecessor. The acting is noticeably worse, Jason Lee essentially being replaced by the far less appealing Zachary Levi is the main contributor to this problem. There's no effort to even mask the predictability in this one, the filmmakers just concede to the fact there are no surprises. I know it was predictable, terribly acted and lacking in substance, but I liked it nonetheless. Other movies from 2009 with similar scores include films like Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Spread and Shorts.OK, so I was one of those people who actually enjoyed the first Alvin.
