Bad Movie Beatdown (w/  

Hi Matthew

I think the only reason why I used to like the live action chipmunk movies was because of the animation. That's about it. How do you feel about the animation?

I think the animation of the chipmunks themselves is quite good (you can see in this entry how much it visibly improved from the first). More often that not, it's the material that's the problem.

@@FilmBrain Yes, I see that now.

Film Brain That Sci Fi Guy made a cameo in The Road Chip?

@F. N. Lorter I kind of regret watching the first one in theatres, let alone buying the cd album, and the dvd.

Christ man... I've seen terrible movies but I've never been at one so bad I've walked out.

Anne Kautzi I walked out specifically after Captain Marvel (or Shazam these days) did a Dutch oven. Fun fact: before Wonder Woman, this was the highest grossing live-action movie directed by a woman.

@@HBarnill First sentence was funny, second sentence was depressing.

The first movie one walks out on is an important time in anyone’s life, Mine was green lantern.

a far far funnier affair than being in this

@@alienonlsd3209 In fact, the first live action Alvin and the Chipmunks movie was actually released in movie theaters on 2007, the same time "My Name is Earl" was still airing on TV.

@@VampireFan-rf5kb I would prefer the universe where Dave disappears because "Earl" got renewed for more seasons, and the chipmunks being barbecued wouldn't hurt too

@@alienonlsd3209 Yeah, that would be more interesting than the live action Alvin and the Chipmunks movies. Jason Lee is quite a good actor, especially with the first Incredibles movie from 2004. But what about the Chipettes though? Also barbecue like the Chipmunks?

@@VampireFan-rf5kb though its wierd that a few "Earl" alumni show up in these movies. I can atleast remember Kenny was the guy with the check in this movie and darnell was the sound guy with the proposal in the last movie. and no, for the chippettes I want chipmunk bacon for later.

No, it's A Family Picture.

A Family Picture!

Wow. That’s...yeah, that’s pretty bad, both in terms of sound and the implication.

Well unfortunately that’s the line used in the censored version of the actual song.

When I was 10 I literally thought she was saying you be a mess

Oh jacksfilms

@@JuriAmari In the censored version I heard it was the same but they just silenced the bitch.

Every review is better than NC's.

Diego Bareno Everyone that left Channel Awesome is better than Doug Walker and his idotic fanbase these days.

I think that's likely because this review is actually based around reviewing the movie, and not waste time on random skits.

Matthew Cool that only happens when the movie is still in cinemas

@Gracekim1 Actually, he only does clipless reviews when it comes to movies like that (though Suicide Squad was already released on Blu-Ray when he made the review) and while his reviews were focused on actually reviewing the movies in question, his more recent reviews just cut to weird skits that don't flow as well and have jarring greenscreen effects (very evident in his Alvin & the Chipmunks review near the end).

I can't believe this movie wasted both Syndrome and Flynn Rider.

We do still get some crossovers, Blockbuster Buster just had Linkara and Lupa on his show. They’re harder to work around though now that they’re not united under the ch*nnel *wesome banner. So they’re like a rare treat and should be savoured

I don’t think the crossovers have diminished that much, since it seems the main problems were surrounding the management and, to a lesser extent, Doug

I love Channel Awesome. Regardless of the state of this whole thing, I love watching these reviews.

@@jeremyusreevu237 I want absolutely nothing to do with THAT place.

@@alienboy1322 Ok. I respect your opinion. But I still like Channel Awesome.

The film can't even villain right! Also that silence of the lambs gag, clearly the writers hated kids.

Sorry, fanboying.

Ugh incest in a family film?

They are basically living as siblings whether they are related or not, it's still weird lol

@@scottylewis8124 they’re not related. Living with someone doesn’t automatically make you family🤷‍♀️ ROOMMATES exist

Only someone as cringworthily sociopathic as Todd would do that. No way was there an "implied threat of violence" to that tone.

Chill it’s a joke dude

@@DeathIsAroundUs When it comes to this guy, I don't give a shit

Yet you watch a video of a person you don’t like and still make a comment about it if he bothers you so much then don’t watch it I’m just watch it I hate Jennifer Lawerence and I don’t watch the shit she’s in

And Roxas

@@otaking3582 Wait which one was Roxas?

@@LaineMann Theodore. Both are voiced by Jessie McCartney.

Well Syndrome did get sucked into a jet engine.

Well, Stinky Pete wants to hunt Autobots while King Candy teams up with Bumblebee.

As an animal nerd I appreciate this detail as well

Nope🤣

It’s best to not question it

this gets more horrifying when you learn chipmunks literally have a bone in there member so....yeah....

@Nicholas Nace Of course not. You probably seen better. :)

Yep.

@@crcoghill Why? Because a superior film has finally surpass this garbage.

There are more than 3?!

@@lunabearsong2043 road chip. 😫😫😫

I’m with Todd: I hate people.

At least it was just four. I mean, there hasn't been any announcements for a follow up so that's something, I guess.

@@mattc2306 Yeah. Gap Between 1-2? 2 Years. 2-3? 2 Years. 3-4? 4 Years. 4-now? 5 years. Pretty sure we're safe.

Scowlie Meerkat according to who

My trailer for this: what you are about to hear is real. It has not been edited or enhanced. 3:29 the subject of some movies is so disturbing, that those who experience them.. will never be the same again.

Or Young Justice joke.

Who will they have Ice Cream with?

@@TheSkully343 hahahaha!

@@TheSkully343 also my verdict for this and the other films: Ugh! I think I'm going to be violently ill!

@@scottylewis8124 Cryptosporidium 137 agrees with your sentiment.

Yeah I'm with you @@shadowspider9

And just like that, Chris Hansen is on speed dial.

@@scottylewis8124 OK SERIOUSLY, WHAT HAPPENED? I mean I know this stuff occurs more than it should, BUT WHAT HAPPENED?

@@elephantpowerproductions I don't know! This movie is so bad, it can't even figure out what happened itself!

ELEPHANT POWER PRODUCTIONS🐘 i think it might be a reference to a recent kid's movie about a police dog going undercover at a dog show. Controversy erupted over a gag where the dog is being uh, inspected in a private place during the show and is told to just ignore it or something along those lines. Several parents thought it was a bad message for children.

@Tucker Johnson I feel sorry for you then, we played things like baseball, basketball and football in high school.

Also Flynn Rider.

And Shazam

shhhhh..... we do not speak of IT here

They're both equally disrespectful to their source material

@@otaking3582 that one took the best anime, and pissed in it's mouth!

@Otaking Mikohani Exactly.

I even labeled this as #7 in my top 20 worst movies of 2009.

This wouldn't be a noticeable issue if it was like it was in the show: where the girls live with someone else.

After 4, Fox knew enough was enough and stopped making them altogether.

I hope they just put The Simpsons & Family Guy to rest.

@@bunnyboyking5215 Eh-Freaking-Men!

A lot of these adult cartoons need to end; The Simpsons, Family Guy, and South Park. They're all past their prime. I mean at least we have BoJack Horsman, Rick and Morty, and even Disenchanted might someday be almost as good as Futurama.

@@03bgood Honestly, South Park can probably stay since they're good at keeping with the times... despite the rocky seasons...

Rolling around naked in brambel bushes and nettles in a blizzard is more fun than the chipmunk movies.

Twice, this was our second crossover after Sunday School Musical. We also did a podcast on Glass together.

They deserve a better appearance in a better movie. Like step up.

They have the Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late) and the theme songs of their various TV shows.

Yes, actually. I grew up with the series and the two 90s movies. The two 90s movies had entirely original scores while the series had the occasional original song. It was actually disappointing actually because some of the original songs are catchy and I looked them up to find their original versions (as, like many of their other songs, I assumed they were covers). But alas, not only were they original to the chipmunks (and therefore don't have versions without the annoyingly high pitched voices) but they don't tend to release the original stuff officially (because yes, there's some songs I actually really like and I do listen to them when I'm in the mood to/can tolerate the voices for a while - nostalgia does help with that) Even the two 90s movies don't have released scores (though The Chipmunk Movie from the 80s did, however, one song in there is a cover) Going even more historically, they were a coverband in the 50s/60s too as aside from a couple of exceptions, they covered things like The Pigeon English Hula or Dr Dolittle's Talk to the Animals I'd like to end on a little fun fact while I'm here: They once even got Alvin to cover I'm Too Sexy and it is the CRINGIEST thing to ever exist. He's an 8-year old in the canon that existed at the time. An 8 year old putting on "sexy moans" and singing that he's too sexy for his cap - it's genuinely horrific lmao

And bojack

Don't worry. No one ever bothers watching them anymore.

This films plot sounds like it was written with crayon and the writer ran out of space and had to cram the rest of it in a corner.

Scotty Lewis and constantly listened Now That’s What I Call Music.

Mixey Boy Rock of Ages, yes. Strange Magic, they really don’t need to. Pitch Perfect Trilogy. Eh.

It’s about a crazed Vietnam vet who gets a job as taxi driver. He spends a lot of time alone in his apartment, talking to himself about how someone should get rid of all the scum on earth. He befriends a 12-year old prostitute and contemplates assassinating a senator

@@sandorenckell5259 oh…wow😅

Toby should be in jail for involuntary manslaughter!

@@scottylewis8124 And for being played by Zack Levi.
