Yes. The Alvin And The Chipmunks movie will absolutely suck monkey balls.
Now I'm not saying the source material is sacred, classic or even good by any definition. The Chipmunks entire catalog is barely a notch above that "Hello Mudder, Hello Fadder" song. But the trailer and posters for this train wreck seem to indicate that the movie has taken the concept of three guys on helium singing pop songs and made it worse. That's gotta be some kind of scientific breakthrough. And to think Jason Lee is in this. I thought his star was on a steady rise. Maybe he's afraid of becoming another Steve Guttenberg and he's collecting every paycheck he can before his career nosedives. At any rate, I guess his agent was smart enough to take his mug off the latest poster here.

One of the trailers has Alvin eating the poop of one of the other Chipmunks to keep them from getting in trouble. EATING POOP!
I don't remember that EVER happening in the cartoons.
(And they did a lot of 80's covers when the cartoon was on)
OH GOD MY EYESSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Lee was also in Underdog, so presumably he's currently reading treatments for movie versions of Captain Caveman, The Groovy Ghoulies, and Rubik: The Amazing Cube(to directed by Michael Bay, so its all edgy and bad-ass. Martin Sheen is attached as the villain!)
Jason Lee has one problem; he can't Act. He tries hard to convey whatever Earl's emotions are, but he just has no talent. OK, I will be trashed by someone for writing this, but it is my opinion. He was bad in Mall Rats, and I haven't seen A Guy Thing, which is on the video shelves at every thrift store I haunt. He is going to be the next Gary Sandy.
I never in my life thought I'd hear a Gary Sandy reference.
Gary Sandy had had a good acting career in the 70s before WKRP--Broadway, soap operas, The Great Smokey Roadblock with Henry Fonda, writeups in People and TV Guide. Whatever went on behind the scenes, after WKRP his career went nowhere and died.
