RATING: PG for some mild rude humor
Starring Jason Lee, Matthew Gray Gubler, Jesse McCartney, Anna Faris, Christina Applegate, Amy Poehler, Justin Long, and Justin Long
Before you could say, "Alvinnnnn!!!" talks began about a new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. Not content to rest on their laurels, the 'Munks are preparing yet another "first": There have been many great movie sequels. There have even been prequels. Now, get ready for the world's first Squeakquel, in which Alvin, Simon and Theodore finally meet their match - and maybe more - in the newly arrived female trio, The Chipettes. (20th Century Fox)

Variety Joe Leydon
A frenetic but undeniably funny follow-up that offers twice the number of singing-and-dancing rodents in another seamless blend of CGI and live-action elements.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Betsy Sharkey
Perhaps not since "The Godfather: Part II" have we seen a sequel come along that more than matches the mastery of the film that came before it -- all the pathos, the brio, the epic sweep. . . . the cheese balls.
Read Full Review >St. Louis Post-Dispatch Charles Williams
The excellent animation makes up for a so-so plot, but it really doesn't matter. "The Squeakquel" is for kids.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Michael O'Sullivan
Call it a Christmas miracle, albeit a minor one: Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel isn't entirely awful.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Neil Genzlinger
The earlier “Alvin” movie made more than $217 million just in the United States. It’s hard to imagine this somewhat confused sequel doing as well.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer David Hiltbrand
The whole thing is rather insipid. But Thomas makes it smoother and more palatable than it deserves to be.
Read Full Review >New York Post Kyle Smith
Among cutesy pop musical trios aimed at nondiscerning audiences, I'll take Alvin and Co. over the Jonas Brothers any day.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Ella Taylor
Closing out a pretty great year for children's movies—Betty Thomas's dutiful animated and live-action sequel to 2007's "Alvin and the Chipmunks" brings up the rear with capable mediocrity.
Read Full Review >USA Today Claudia Puig
It seems as if no professional actors were hired in the making of this motion picture.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Andrea Gronvall
Smarter than its predecessor, the movie aims for the "High School Musical" market.
Read Full Review >The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Liam Lacey
As shrill, partly-animated musicals about singing vermin go, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel really isn't all that bad.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
If only for the sake of adults, couldn't the folks behind the Alvin films have had the good grace to turn Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel into a musical?
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Nathan Rabin
Sure enough, director Betty Thomas delivers pretty much the bare minimum: peppy, brightly colored, tune-filled nonsense sure to meet the low, low standards of its pre-kindergarten core audience.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Joe Neumaier
The 6- to 10-year-old audience this movie is aimed at deserved better.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Ty Burr
Almost but not quite as obnoxious as its title. Little kids will love it. You’ll need a hazmat suit.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Peter Hartlaub
First, and perhaps most important, it should be disclosed that my 4-year-old laughed pretty much nonstop throughout Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. This was his "Citizen Kane."
Read Full Review >Time Out New York Karina Longworth
Blending CGI and live action, this “squeakquel” to the witless 2007 kids’ film proves just how dangerous such technology is when placed in the wrong hands.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marc Savlov
The Squeakquel might be appreciated by filmgoers aged 10 or younger.

S Olon gave it an8:
My son is 19 months and doesn't like hardly any tv, but he loves both of these movies! Anything to buy me a few min to rest is worth it, he's soooo busy!!!
Alex gave it a6:
Same as before, families will enjoy the world's first Squeakquel.
Isaac V. gave it a6:
The movie definitely needs work but is a sure contender against the first one.
jane c gave it a7:
What a change from Scaring the pants off most of the movies to Laughing all the time.
Lindsey D gave it a6:
The modern music chosen was cool to hear in the movie, but it was your standard sequel, complete with peer pressure, slap stick, dumb teenagers a moral to stay true to yourself and to work together. I guess that for a child it would be a cute movie but JUST as a movie regardless of age group it is not particularly intelligent or creative.
Kurt T gave it an8:
A great movie to take your kids to but adults may like it, some in-the-middle, and some may not.
Joshua C. gave it a0:
everyone knows how stupid singing chipmunks are. If you don't you should die or suiside right away. this movie has no aparent humor, and dance moves that makes this the worst musical ever. I am not even sure if this is a musical. Probobaly, a ****tty kids comedy that even a 4 year old wont find humorous.
