"Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked" was released in 2011 as the third installment in the live-action/CGI Chipmunks film series, starring Jason Lee as Dave and David Cross as Ian. Upon release, the film received generally negative reviews from critics, who criticized its predictable plot and reliance on slapstick humor. Despite the lukewarm critical reception, it performed reasonably well at the box office, appealing mainly to younger audiences and fans of the franchise. Over time, the film has not significantly redeemed itself in critical or fan circles, and it is generally regarded as a dated relic rather than a cult classic or underrated gem. Its humor and effects, while appropriate for its original audience, have not aged well, limiting its appeal to contemporary viewers beyond nostalgic fans of the series.
