IN THE latest instalment of the Chipmunks franchise, Dave (Jason Lee) heads off on a luxury cruise with singing critters Alvin, Simon and Theodore and the feisty Chipettes.
As usual, Alvin gets into various scrapes, incurring the wrath of the ship's captain and former manager Ian (David Cross), who works as the onboard pelican- suited entertainer.
As Dave takes a nap one day, Alvin and the gang take flight on a kite, only to be blown onto a tropical island with an active volcano.
While the chipmunks return to nature, Dave and Ian race against time to rescue the animals from their new home before it is covered in molten lava.
Sadly, Alvin And The Chipmunks: Chipwrecked lacks the charm and energy of the earlier films, and stranding the animals on an island is a flimsy contrivance to force Alvin to grow up.
