Movie Review- Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakuel

Here again, we are presented with a film that, at first glance, does not provide much opportunity for theological discussion. However, if we are willing to look a little deeper, we soon discover that there is, maybe, more than meets the eye. I'm not saying it's all that deep, but let's see what we can mine form the film.

This movie is cute and fun. It's a great kids movie. And sometimes, that's all a film needs to be. This film explores issues such as friendship, family, peer pressure, celebrity as well as others. Any or all of these issues can be or are important to kids.

GOSPEL HANDLES

The biggest of a gospel handle in here are acceptance after turning away (parallels with Luke 15). Other images of rescue are in the film.

CLERGY HANDLES

There are no depictions of clergy in this film.
