Talking Points:

There’s a wonderful message of the importance of family. Dave, who adopted the Chipmunks, takes his parental role very seriously. He risked his life to save the Chipmunks; something a parent would do for their children. Dave also claimed that he’s not their manager for the money, it’s because he loves them. Forgiveness is another message instilled throughout the film, this could spark some great parent/child conversations.

Great, entertaining music with songs such as; “Born This Way” and “Firework,” by Lady Gaga.

The previous two Alvin and the Chipmunk movies are rated PG, while this is rated G.

I enjoyed the movie, though I did hear an adult snoring a couple rows behind me.

Sexual Content: Mild

• The Chipettes get drawn into a dance-off with three human girls, there was a little sexual dancing.

Violent Content: Mild

• There is some slapstick violence; an example would be when Dave slipped on the ship’s deck, where Alvin had poured suntan oil. Dave continuously bumped and hit his head on something.

Crude or Profane Language: Mild

• One character says, “I’m such a pain in the…”

Drug and Alcohol Content: Mild

• Character’s drink mixed drinks on the ship.

Overall, Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked is a movie for young kids. There’s nothing inappropriate,it has a nice pro-family message, and most important, the kids will be entertained for 90 minutes! You may not find Gilligan or The Professor, but you will see some cute chipmunks on the island.
