Chipwrecked

Friday night I packed up my babies and took them to see Alvin and The Chipmunk's latest film, Chipwrecked.

My original plan was to see The Muppet's movie, but Tyler is convinced that they're *dumb* and I didn't feel like listening to a bummed out almost 12 year old.... so we went with the Chipmunks and it turned out to be a fine choice. 

{{I will make Tyler see the greatness of The Muppets one day.  I promise!}}

Being an actual Alvin & The Chipmunk's fan, it hurts me to say that Chipwrecked was not my fav.  I actually have The Chipmunk Adventure dvd in a special kid-free drawer just because I like it so much and don't want the kids to ruin it.  I can watch it almost any time.  Chipwrecked was only fun to watch because my kids loved it and it made my heart smile to hear their giggles. 

I'm not a fan of the CGI & the part where the Chippettes are sitting on the beach singing a slowed down and way too *serious* version of Destiny's Child's *Survivor* is probably going to give me nightmares.  Needless to say, I won't be hoarding my own copy in the future. 

I did, however, enjoy the crazy island lady and her ball friends.  And Tyler & I got a good laugh at a few of the references Trab & Keira didn't get. 

By far the best part of the movie was just being with my kids.  Keira sat on my lap a bit, Travis crunched popcorn the whole time & Tyler & I got to make a little fun of the movie.  Good times!!!
