%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 |
%20Ben%20Meyers%20Intl..png) Surviving Christmas—off beat comedy—that, despite its very good cast, does not 'pull its weight' to produce real comedy. Storyline A man, at odds with his girlfriend, has a recommendation given him to remove past regrets. Getting rid of past regrets 'gets out of hand' when he hires the family living in his childhood home to be his temporary family over the holidays. Additional Thanks  Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? Maybe. It is a Ben Affleck film, but not one of his best films. Be aware there are scenes or references that are not family friendly. 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.
Additional Thanks Thank you to Director Betty Thomas for directing effort. Thank you to Producers Janice Karman and Ross Bagdasarian Jr. for making the film possible. Cast includes Zachary Levi, David Cross, Jason Lee, Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler, Jesse McCartney, Amy Poehler, Anna Faris, and Christina Applegate.  Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? Yes. This is a suitable family watch that serves all age groups' needs. Video Critique Available Here: Ben Meyers |
