Jul 27 2007Alvin and the Chipmunks' Hilarious Trailer!
I found this Alvin and the Chipmunks teaser trailer over on Cinematical, where the writer had this to say:
Alviiiiin! Ah, there's just something about seeing Alvin, Simon and Theodore sing Funkytown that just brings me back to my childhood, sitting at home with nothing else to do but watch those old Alvin and the Chipmunks cartoons. The first trailer for the new, updated version of Alvin and Chipmunks has just arrived over on Moviefone and -- I dunno -- it made me chuckle. Then again, I'm a sucker for these damn chipmunks.
Awesome, so seeing Alvin and the Chipmunks reminds you of your childhood... during which you also spent time seeing Alvin and the Chipmunks. It was nice of you to spell that out for us, I'm not sure if we'd have made the jump otherwise... Did your childhood also include getting hammered through your umbilical cord (btw, this is the most subtle fetal alcohol syndrome joke I will ever write)? I'm guessing business relationships over there require him to write that, because otherwise... wow.
Personally, I get the same feeling from the teaser as I do the poster: file this one under Garfield, Scooby Doo, Fat Albert, and the Darfur massacre.

In fairness, I'm sort of impressed they've included coprophagia.

My refusal to watch this clip doesn't mean I won't comment on it. I think it's appropriate someone is eating crap in the clip. It's a metaphor for the whole viewing experience if you're stupid enough to go see it.

Don't know about this movie... but Jason Lee's other movie Underdog looks cute. I'm glad he is making more family friendly films and the dog looks so cute
