Alvin and the Chipmunks 2

I cannot remember whether did I really watch the chipmunks as a cartoon when young but I doubt so. But now with CGI, they are alive, not to forget the so cute and so adorable, Theodore !! Story wise revolving round Dave sending the chipmunks to school and previous scrupulous manager Ian Hawke bouncing back with his plot to down the chipmunks. And more chipmunks in the form of females chipettes, sending the chipmunks's heart thump thump thump.

As Dave is recovering in a Paris Hospital after an accident in their Paris concert, he asked Aunt Jackie and cousin Toby to take care of the chipmunks. But Aunt Jackie herself was admitted to hospital following an accident at the airport, so it is Toby with the chipmunks. The fun came when the chipmunks goes to school, not to study of course. They got too popular with the girls which the guys are jealous and taught them a lesson, simon got dunked in the toilet bowl, theodore got pinned on a wall though alvin did got back at the guys. The principal didn't expelled them because very much she is a huge fan, deep down inside.

She told the chipmunks to represent the school in a music competition for $25,000 and with that money, it could save the school's music department. They agreed. Meanwhile, Ian chanced upon the female chipmunks which sing of course, conning them into believing he is the good guy. He convinced them he will make them famous, the singing chipettes. But he need to make them known first and he heard of the school competition, barged in and convinced the principal that the chipmunks and chipettes should have a performance, whoever got the loudest applause will represent the school.

Alvin got close to the guys and they got him into their football. He missed the competition after going to the celebration following winning the football game, this really pissed Simon and Theodore who felt he is drifting away from them, Theodore is really sad and left home though his note is not really convincing, telling them he is at the zoo. They patched up after Alvin saved him from the eagle. Ian got his attention he wanted, his previous company agreed to let the chipettes performed. But Ian got carried away, he only wanted Britney who sang better and got a better overall figure, Jeanetter and Eleanor were not needed. They refused to perform if not together, so Ian caged them. Britney managed to call Alvin, telling them to perform for them for the school. The chipmunks saved the day. 7/10
