    Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Road Chip is a movie that everyone has written off as trash. But is it really that bad?... or... is it actually good? Great even?.... Dare I say.... A MASTERPIECE?
    This movie is cinema and I'm gonna do my best to convince you.

    I remember watching this movie in high school with some friends on a road trip (funny coincidence) and we were laughing and roasting the absolute crap out of it the entire time. Definitely one of my fondest teenage memories. But after watching this video, four years later, it’s making me wonder if we were judging too harshly. Props to you BT for convincing me to give this another watch sometime!

    It always confused me why people would shit on these movies so much. When I was younger I really loved it and honestly was one of the reasons why I was so hooked to music. I like all 4 movies still and I always will think they’re good even if people say they aren’t.
    1- the first movie was cute and basically was about Dave learning to mature and grown up and to care for something besides him. He had commitment issues.
    2- the second movie has two things. One being that no matter where you start is you can get somewhere. That being the chipettes. And secondly how the boys don’t actually have a normal life and Dave wanting them to really feel normal. By putting them in school. He didn’t want to force them to always be these stars, he wants them to be kids.
    3- yes the one that’s oddly most shitted on because it sounds like it doesn’t have a lesson. But it really does. Alvin learning to mature just like Dave was a big thing. It also talks about fear of abandonment. And changing and growth. Even the minor characters in this movie grew and changed at the end. It wasn’t about being stranded it was about growth.
    4- was already analyzed well in this video so I don’t need to go on lol.
    That’s why I love the movies and oh show. I do highly hate the reboot though because they made every character just messed up and rude.

I thought it was great, I mean growing up watching the chipmunks as 2d characters from the 80's to a live action cinematic universe. These movies are truly wholesome, I wished Disney/fox would have better advertised them -maybe they'd even be a little more popular these days.

    This is the one I didn’t see because I was watching The Force Awakens over and over the whole time it was out. I’ll check it out before finishing this video in case of spoilers
