While the other Chipmunks movies did have some things going for them, this is just a mess. It really should be the death nail of the franchise, but I think they'll come up with something else in time. Still while there seems to be no real new addition (apart from one very crazy character, that just does not work in the family environment it is put in and may be a strange move by the producers to make this more accessible to grown-ups).
The title pretty much gives away what you are going to see. But even with the familiar faces (or because of them) you will feel alienated. And while this still might work for most of the kids crowd this is aimed at, it also feels like an assault on your senses and your sanity. The other move to try to make the Chipmunks "grow up" does not work either (as portrayed here) and will surely be revised come Chipmunks 4
