A bad movie

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but since it was on TV, I thought I was as well give it a try. Well, the only thing that this movie proves is that you don’t actually need to make a good movie to have a massive success at the box-office. I mean, I can understand somehow that the first movie was a success but a 2nd sequel?!? Come on, by now, the audience should know better than this. At least, I saw it for free. Honestly, it is rather difficult to find any redeeming features in this piece of garbage. At least, even though it wasn’t better than the previous installments, it wasn’t worse either and I guess that (very) young children might enjoy it. And indeed, the animation is technically pretty good but what an abysmal plot… Basically, Alvin is terribly obnoxious and it makes it terribly difficult to care at all about his adventures and since they are stranded on a desert island, you get these really cringe-inducing jokes about ‘Cast Away’ (as if the kids would understand what the hell it was all about). To conclude, the whole thing is just a terrible waste of time and even you have some children to entertain, just show them anything made by Pixar instead.
