Good mindless entertainment. The Chipmunks and The Chipettes were charming.

Re: Singing-and-dancing rodents
It may not be your type of movie, but it did really well this weekend.
From the LA Times:
Fox's "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel" collected $50.2 million over the weekend and $77.1 million since it debuted Wednesday. Its crowds were 70% families and heavily Latino. "The Squeakquel" also grossed $36.5 million from the 42 foreign markets where it launched. That's more than twice as much as the first "Alvin" opened to in the same countries in 2007.
"It's Complicated" got an average grade of A- from audiences, according to market research firm CinemaScore, while "Alvin" got an A. That means those movies should benefit the most from word-of-mouth in the coming days. "Sherlock" and "Up in the Air" both got Bs, an average grade from typically generous moviegoers. That could be a cause for concern for Paramount, since "Up in the Air" has gotten extremely positive reviews.

Re: Singing-and-dancing rodents
Well, we're never going to agree on this. I just can't be offended by a goofy chipmunk movie making gobs of money.
Nobody I know IRL who took their kids to see it said it was terrible. Everybody likes the first one better, but they all said that this was fun. And they're all going to be buying the DVD in a couple of months. No, it doesn't have cross-over appeal to childless adults, but who cares?

There is no reason why the problems with crappy movies cannot be fixed at the script stage, even those made for children. No reason at all.
And the more bad films that make money, the less H-wood will give a damn about film quality. It's happening, it's been happening, and it will continue to happen unless people like you shape up and quit accepting garbage films.
