Betty Thomas Directing Alvin And The Chipmunks 2
Posted by John Campeaon 10. 12. 2008in News Chat
One of the most abysmal family films I’ve had the displeasure of viewing in the last couple of years was the eye gougingly horrific “Alvin and the Chipmunks”. Yeah we all knew it looked like it would be bad… but the fist 5 minutes were really cute and suckered me into getting my expectations up. Wow, that was the wrong thing to do… because that early pleasant surprise quickly turned into a movie watching nightmare. The movie was all kinds of shit on a shit sandwich served with a side order of shit.
However… like many bad movies… this money made a lot of money, virtually ensuring that a sequel would indeed be on the way. And sure enough, it is. The abomination even has a director attached now. Betty Thomas, who has directed such classics as “John Tucker Must Die”, “28 Days”, “I Spy” and “Doctor Dolittle”. I can smell Oscar already.
Oh, and to make things even better (for those of you who can’t tell… that’s sarcastic… this news makes it worse) they’re going to be brining in the Chipettes (the female versions of the Chipmunks). I hate life sometimes.

Oh John come one now. I’ll give you your space and let you hate the Chipmunks movie. I liked it, and know many fans of the 80′s cartoon (people in their 30′s) who just adored the live action movie. It was pretty much an episode of the old cartoons.
Now the news of the Chipettes is exactly what needs to be done. If they wern’t in it I would question who paid attention to the Chipmunks to begin with. Eleanor, Brittany, and Jeanette are so cute, and they will add much fun when matched up with Alvin, Simon and Theodore.
Now the big question is, who will play Ms. Miller. I’m betting on Cathy Bates.
This isn’t entirely topical, but I just had to comment on the fact that John Tucker Must Die was the worst film ever made. Seriously, I still have night terrors.
