My first film of 2021 - I know, I know... hold back your jealousy.

I've watched the preceding three films and, genuinely, enjoyed the first two, the third isn't good but isn't bad either. <em>'Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip'</em> is easily the weakest entry, but I still find it impossible to dislike these films. They're stupid but they kinda work, at least in terms of what their intended purpose is.

The casting is quite something. Jason Lee, somewhat surprisingly, returns, with new addition Bella Thorne - who appears in, like, four scenes. You also have Christina Applegate, Anna Faris and Kaley Cuoco in voice roles, alongside appearances from "Crazy Eyes", "Stifler's Mom", "savior Jared" and "Crabman". Iykyk.

I didn't care for any of it, the story is clichéd, nonsensical and woefully written - and there's barely even a road trip. I do, though, like the chipmunk animation, I chuckled a few times due to how they are animated.

Rubbish no doubt, yet I can't say I hate it to be honest.
