Flails about in search of a creative reason to exist.

The obvious nods to Castaway, Lost and other pop culture references are barely worth a grin.

You usually have to go to an Adam Sandler movie, or the Quad Cinema, to see something as incompetently made as "Alvin and the Chipmunks.''

"Chipwrecked" serves up more of the derivative chaos that floats this franchise's boat.

It's an uninspired and instantly forgettable film. But it completely succeeds by its own standards: an 87-minute rainy-day distraction that will probably make a zillion dollars.

Maybe for the next installment, they can go off to college and find something better to do than making these silly movies.

Stale for anyone older than the preschool set.

"Chipwrecked" will probably be a winner with families that have small children, but older children may squirm and adults will find themselves wondering how such a promising premise got so quickly beached.

A Sarah Palin joke? A Charlie Sheen wisecrack? Is this a Chipmunks movie or a Letterman monologue?

If you can't get enough of aggressively cute animated rodents shaking their fuzzy tails while singing helium-voiced covers of funk and hip-hop dance hits and spouting clichéd 'urban' catchphrases ('Oh no she di'int!'), then this 'squeakquel' is for you.

There's a germ of a light, goofy kids movie somewhere in here, but it's buried under a pile of clichés.

Within 5 minutes, I concluded that no one over the age of 4 could possibly withstand more than 3 minutes of those hideous rodent voices without suffering permanent damage.

Chipwrecked is a mind-numbing piece of uninspired baloney, meant only to pacify hyperactive children.

Meant for a kiddie audience. Adults will be brain dead by the time they sit through all the squeaky songs

Chipwrecked is derivative and predictable and not for anyone who'd rather be watching Schindler's List. But it's good, clean old-fashioned family fun.

Hopefully this third instalment might bring the series to a close - they say bad things happen in threes...

Shrill, silly and furry - these squeaky-voiced, computer-generated rodents are back for their third formulaic frolic.
