%20Poster.png) Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked—okay, suitable watch—has a cliched, stale storyline that borrows significantly from other marooned on an island films. Despite that, it still manages to keep its cute chipmunk charm. Film Poster Courtesy of Google Images Storyline  Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? Maybe. It may work well for hard core Alvin and the Chipmunks fans. It runs on a stale, cliched storyline. Video Critique Available Here: Ben Meyers |
 Inside Out 2—odd film—has too many characters to work with and that, in itself, creates boredom. There are some scenes that are relatable but the emotional moments cannot be well-received due to the weak story and convoluted storyline. Storyline  Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? Maybe. It does not connect with the audience as well as other Pixar films and is not the high standard that Pixar started with in 1995. It is one of the few Pixar films that works below the promotable rating of 3.9 stars. Video Critique Available Here: Ben Meyers |
 Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel—improves on its prequel—has better writing, story, and acting than the first movie. It adds interest by including female chipmunks which adds appeal to the basic story. This is an enjoyable watch. Film Poster Courtesy of IMDb Storyline Dave Seville gets injured and while in the hospital tells the chipmunks that he wants them to go to school and the story is on.
