Alvin et les Chipmunks : Sur la route

Ce quatrième épisode d'une série à succès ressasse les clichés ls plus éculés du road movie et multiplie les numéros musicaux à base de hip-hop sucré mais ultimement sans saveur.

Comme je le soulignais au départ, ce n'est pas l'innovation qui brille dans Alvin et les Chipmunks: sur la route. Par contre, que les parents se rassurent, les 86 minutes du film passent très vite, l'intrigue étant une suite ininterrompue de mésaventures rigolotes (certains clins d’oeil feront d'ailleurs sourire les parents).

It may have been four long years since the last Chipmunks movie outing, but the arrival of Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip makes it feel like they’ve never been gone.

86 minutes doesn't feel long when you're watching a movie worth your time, but when that film happens to be Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Road Chip, it's an eternity of pain.

It's a remarkably lazy approach to writing that seems to bore even the least discerning kids.

A mostly harmless yet plenty rough assemblage of musical numbers and rote chases that barely add up to a movie.

Unfunny, unaffecting, unnecessary live-action film will nibble away at audiences’ patience quite quickly.

You know, when the other flick is all sold out and parents want to see a movie, The Road Chip more than likely will reap the benefits. In other words, don't expect this to be their farewell tour.
