If the sight(and unbearable sound) of Alvin and the Chipmunks doing their best Lady Gaga impression doesn't cause you to break out into hives, then perhaps this new trailer is for you. We've seen the teaser for Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip-wrecked already, but here is a longer, theatrical cut. There's poor Jason Lee(such promise...) as even poorer Dave Seville, and this time he's got not just his usual three rodents to watch over, but I guess he's decided to "adopt" their three lady friends The Chipettes as well. All this while the guy is just trying to have a relaxing vacation cruise. Here's a hint: don't bring a gaggle of talking mutant foragers with you and things will go much smoother...
Betty Thomas(Dr. Doolittle) directed the film, which will open during the packed holiday season on December 16th.
PLOT
On vacation aboard a luxury cruise liner, Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor are up to their usual antics, turning the ship into their personal playground, until they become ‘chip-wrecked’ on a desert island. As David Seville frantically searches for his AWOL charges, the ‘Munks and Chipettes do what they do best – sing, dance and wreak havoc. But they’re in for a surprise when they embark on an island adventure with their new friend, a castaway who’s more than a match for The Chipmunks and The Chipettes. While waiting for Dave to rescue them, they meet a modern day Robinson Crusoe who seems friendly enough until the 'Munks inadvertently interfere with their real agenda - finding buried treasure.
