Alvin and the Chipmunks The Road Chip Movie Review

The Chipmunks, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore are taking a break from their music vocation while their long-lasting father figure, is getting ready to head to Miami in order to advance the careers of some of his different customers. Just before leaving for the trip, Dave introduces the chipmunks to Samantha, his new girlfriend – and to Miles, Samantha’s angsty, bullying teenage son. Miles plants it into the Chipmunks’ minds that, if Dave marries Samantha, he can send the Chipmunks away. The Chipmunks trust that Dave is getting to propose to Samantha in Miami, and so they set off on a wacky adventure in order to stop the engagement.

Strong Points

Dave ultimately adopts the Chipmunks, and together they talk – and show – how huge the change is for the boys. Their whole trip was fueled by the concerned that Dave would abandon them for children more genetically like himself, and Dave is ready – not just to tell them otherwise, but to show them otherwise by making their adoption a formal one.

There is a theme throughout the movie of acceptance of a big range of families. One character says,
“It won’t be the family photo that comes in a frame, but it’s gonna be our family, and we’re proud of it.”

Weak Points

The teenage son of Dave’s girlfriend is cruel to the Chipmunks – he abuses them physically, and tries to convince them that they are not genuinely a family with Dave and that Dave will desert them.
The Chipmunks do not feel comfortable to tell Dave what Miles is doing and saying to them.
Miles gets the Chipmunks alone, and it seems that he will be with them, without supervision, for a long time. He tells them “I will make you my personal servants.” children who have been abused by caretakers might find this theme – coupled with the threatened stability of an adoptive-like family, to be hard to watch.

Recommendations

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip is certainly a blended pack. There is an extremely positive, adoption-affirming ending which powerfully captures the positive emotions that older kids have when somebody brings through a commitment to adopt them, but along the way, there are several scenes with characters questioning the validity of families that don’t look alike, and there’s lots of talk of parental abandonment. These are real fears for some kids who have been adopted or in foster care, and this film could be triggering to them. Even though the general target demographic for the film is probably much younger, I think its best suited, from an adoption perspective, for kids ages 11-13. Kids that age could understand that the Chipmunks aren’t going to be abandoned, and could reflect on the value the Chipmunks perceived in Dave’s commitment to adopt them.
