Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel: Chipmunk singing sensations Alvin, Simon, and Theodore are back for an encore! When a concert mishap lands Dave in the hospital, the Chipmunks take a break from superstardom and enroll in school to fit in with kids their age. But they soon face some stiff competition when they meet the Chipettes, a beautiful and talented trio of female chipmunks. This film is rated PG (some mild rude humor).
