One of the most successful family movie franchise, Alvin and the Chipmunks presents a new road to chip in the latest kiddie and family adventure movie Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip bringing in a mix of the new and classic Chipmunks mischievous humor and heartwarming moments that fans adore about the franchise.
In the latest movie, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip, Daves (Jason Lee) career as a musical artist manager has taken off, thanks to the Chipmunks. He also has an exciting new client a rising young pop star, named Ashley, played by actress/singer/author/model Bella Thorne (My Own Worst Enemy, Shake It Up). Despite her popularity, Ashley has remained sweet and down to earth, says Thorne. For example, she notes, When we meet Ashley, shes being stormed by paparazzi, but she makes sure that the Munks arent trampled. Ashley also provides emotional and musical support to the Munks when they reunite with Dave in Florida.
While Dave is busier than ever, he has opted to temporarily sideline the boys, so they can live as normal a life as possible. Dave is bit more comfortable with the idea of everything being as normal as possible, says Lee. Dave is also becoming more of a parent to the boys, a big step forward from serving as their beleaguered guardian. The parenting moments are important to the evolution of this franchise, notes Becker.
But in the Seville/Chipmunks household, striving for normalcy, and actually achieving it are, well, a continuing challenge. The boys miss their status as pop star icons and arent shy about letting Dave know about it. Moreover, Daves frustration with his young charges continues to bedevil him, and fans will rejoice that his signature manifestation of said frustration a full-throttle bellowing of Alviiiiin!!! will again tax Dave, as well as the Dolby-ized sound system of your local theater. That yell is just kind of second nature, now, says Jason Lee, for me and for Dave.
Daves life takes an additional turn, thanks to Samantha (she prefers Sam), an ER doctor (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) with whom hes enjoying a blossoming romantic relationship. In fact, Dave and Sam are growing so close that the Munks are beginning to wonder if hes about to pop the question.
The idea of Dave tying the knot doesnt thrill the boys; in fact, they fear itll uproot their lives and maybe uproot them from Daves home! Further complicating matters is Sams teenage son, Miles (Josh Green), who has an instant dislike of the Chipmunks, who feel the same way about Miles.
The Munks quickly learn that Miles is going to be a tough adversary because he can out-Alvin, Alvin. They have three days to get to him and stop the proposal, saving themselves not only from losing Dave but possibly from gaining a terrible stepbrother.
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip opens very soon January 20 from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.
