Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip | 2015 | PG | - 2.3.2
The Chipmunks discover that their human foster father (Jason Lee) plans to propose to his new girlfriend (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) during a Miami business trip. Alarmed, they enlist the help of the woman's teen son (Josh Green) to go to Florida and stop the engagement. Also with Tony Hale, Redfoo, Bella Thorne and the voices of Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler, Jesse McCartney, Kaley Cuoco, Anna Faris and Christina Applegate. Directed by Walt Becker. A few lines of dialogue are in Spanish with English subtitles. [1:26]
► In a pool scene, a male cartoon chipmunk stares at women wearing bikinis and says, "Ooooo, if this is grounded, then ground me for life." A female chipmunk calls a male chipmunk "Theodore-licious." A teen girl tells a friend online that she likes a hairy boy.
► Three line-dancing sequences feature several women wearing short shorts or miniskirts. Three scenes feature close-ups of one of three female backsides in short skirts and short shorts. Several women in line dances and general dancing in a bar reveal slight cleavage and a few women reveal bare midriffs. Several beach, hotel pool and street scenes include women wearing bikinis that reveal some cleavage and a few navels. A man places one of his hands into his crotch while dancing. A man appears shirtless twice, and his name is tattooed on his stomach and a giant tattoo of three chipmunks is on his back. A chipmunk shakes and rotates his bottom and tail toward the camera.

► A teen boy walks in front of a car whose driver is texting and two chipmunks throw another chipmunk into the boy to knock him out of the way (the chipmunk falls to the pavement, unmoving and a close-up shows him taking only one breath); he revives when he smells food but says his back hurts (we see no injury).
► At airport security, we see the small skeleton of a chipmunk in an X-ray viewer and when a teen boy removes the animal from his luggage, he twists and stretches his body and then slams the animal onto the counter below the frame and we hear a thud; the animal bites the boy who yelps (there is no bloodshed) and a female guard yells loudly, "Body search"; the boy is security-wanded and a chipmunk riding in one of his trouser legs urinates two streams onto the floor and drops a pellet of feces (we see two streams and the pellet).
► A chipmunk in a cargo hold on a plane releases a monkey that releases dozens of other animals: chased through passenger aisles by a flight attendant and an air marshal, we see three animated chipmunks, live birds, a goat, ferrets and dogs as the air marshal yells, "The plane is going down" (meaning returning to the airport, but passengers scream, thinking they are crashing). A woman looks into a house through a picture window and sees destruction as three squirrels run back and forth, chewing up the couch and gnawing through all the wooden furniture; when the homeowner returns and finds all the furniture and shelving destroyed, he throws down his luggage and shouts. A man chases chipmunks into a hotel elevator car that stalls, but the animals escape through a door in the roof and leave the man trapped; a maid finds him the next day, disheveled and sweaty. A chipmunk in a hotel lobby is thrown through the air, bounces out of a bucket of ice at a table, and lands face down on another table, unharmed.
► A few men and women skate board down a ramp and into a swimming pool, while a chipmunk says it is too dangerous to do so; he is pushed down the ramp and into the water on a skateboard and is not injured.
► A teen boy hangs a chipmunk by its sweater collar onto a circling windmill blade in an obstacle course. Still shots show the boy using a chipmunk as a brush for cleaning a windshield, hanging it on a Christmas Tree, and chasing three chipmunks with a leaf blower. A miniature obstacle is a bear with a gate made of fake bear teeth and it opens and closes as chipmunks run through it safely. A teen boy steals and sells a singing chipmunk for $20 to a 10-year-old boy, who sells it to the chipmunk's brothers for $40.
► A man argues several times with three chipmunks, sometimes loudly. Chipmunks argue with a teen boy and with an air marshal several times. A woman shouts loudly at her son in an airport. An air marshal and a rental car agent argue for several minutes and the air marshal begins to shout. A teen boy who does not like the chipmunks tells them he will make sure they will be holding their "nuts," living outside all winter. A teen boy says his father died when he was a young boy, and later says that his father left him and his mom when he was only 5 years old. A man pounds his fist on his desk, then accidentally slaps his ink pad, getting ink on his palm; he shouts at three chipmunks, telling them they are at fault for his fiancée jilting him.
► A woman becomes angry when her boyfriend presents her a ring box containing a Life Saver mint and storms away. A flashback shows a woman rejecting her boyfriend's marriage proposal because he is a fan of the singing Chipmunks; he is crushed emotionally and screams in slow motion as she leaves his apartment.
► A chipmunk flatulates. A teen boy burps loudly in close-up. A man sneezes on a chipmunk (no mucus is seen). A chipmunk smells the hair of an old woman on a plane and gags, but does not vomit. A macaw lands on a man's shoulder on a plane and urinates a yellow spot on his shirt.

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
