Preview: Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (2009)

Synopsis:

The classic radio and television sensation returns to the big screen in its second incarnation, this time with the Chipettes in tow.

• Poster: D; D

Review:

Bland and unimaginative...so much so, that I don't really have much else to say about it.

Echoing the sentiment of my review of the first poster, this second one is equally uninspired.

• Trailer: B

Review:

This is a very short teaser that gives us little idea of what the film is about other than to show the first meeting between the Chipmunks and the Chipettes to entirely appropriate lyrical accompaniment.

Oscar Prospects:

It will be on the short list of films from which the Animators at the Academy can choose the final nominees, but like its predecessor, it will not be chosen.

Release Date:

• December 23, 2009
