Critical resistance is futile, as the Chipmunks (and the Chipettes) return for a third outing in the depressingly successful 🎃franchise.

This time, hijinks aboard a cruise ship lead to the singing rodents being marooned o꧒n a de🔯sert island, with manager Dave (Jason Lee) and double-crossing rival Ian (David Cross) on rescue duties.

Steel yourself for a mix of slapstick humour, 💮high-pitched cover versions – weep at the butchering of Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ – and conservative𓂃 family values: at least chipmunk Simon develops a devil-may-care alter ego.
