Easy resolutions pop up and there's no real drama, with flat jokes, overacting and wasted comic-talent voices slathered between the plot's thin slices-of-strife like cheap peanut butter.

Reviews for Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel
I must be the old stinker. I think that if you're activities cause property damage, you're a vandal. It's not cute to behave irresponsibly if the result is thousands of dollars in repairs. That's just destruction.
Alvin must be the most unsympathetic lead in any kiddie franchise, and having him do squeaked-up De Niro impersonations doesn’t help.
This desperate sequel – sorry "squeakquel" – is such a blatant cash-in that the producers might as well have gone straight round to young viewers' houses and stolen their piggybanks.
They call this the “squeakquel” and that’s about all you’ll want to know about a film that remorselessly pulls all the levers of the first highly successful box-office attraction.
Like the Three Stooges, McHale's Navy, and the Brides of Funkenstein, the Chipmunks are a true pop-cultural sleeper sensation.
Blending CGI and live action, this "squeakquel" to the witless 2007 kids' film proves just how dangerous such technology is when placed in the wrong hands.
Yes, it's probably a good film for children. But when films far more sophisticated and enjoyable like "Up" or "Where the Wild Things Are" come out, a film like this merely seems trivial.
Kids will love it but adults will squirm. A little squeak from the chipmunks goes a long way.
Richard Widmark is dead but his spirit improbably lives on in this 'squeakquel,' in which the allegedly adorable harmonizing rodents cause an old lady in a wheelchair to roll down a steep flight of stairs...
The film as a whole is only marginally less entertaining than playing roadkill Frisbee.
Fractious, family-friendly and funky, it's nevertheless cutsey charmless. Expect an inevitable Threequel.
An unsatisfying sequel to a very mediocre first film. It is so unfunny and painful that I actually saw people walking out of the free screening I attended.
a half-assed, low-budget enterprise trading on children's endless appetite for talking animals
Hollywood used to know that a good children's movie is one that can be enjoyed by the whole family. It's not just about keeping the 6-year-olds in their seats.
