While the actors of Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 were preparing to work on continuing the story of a fun company, critics doubted the quality of the comedy. Will the characters of the film for the second time meet the expectations of the audience at the box office?
Audience expectations and critics' ratings
The heroes of the picture of Alvin and Dave never avoided trouble, and this time too they will bring a lot of problems on their heads. It just so happened that the scrapes of these chipmunks evoke more than sympathy in the viewer, but a smile. There was a lot of laughter at the premiere, the actors of the movie “Alvin and the Chipmunks 2” were eager to repeat or even surpass the first movie at the box office.
The impressions of the audience were good, but critics in their assessments were not shy about openly scolding comedy.
The director of the film, Betty Thomas, was forced to listen to many complaints against her, but this is unlikely to stop her from intending to shoot another 3 part.
Zachary Pugh
His good theater school attracts the attention of leading directors to the actor. Zachary Pugh appeared on the set of Chipmunks at the age of 29, before that he already had experience in the comedy genre. At the premiere of the film “Alvin and the Chipmunks 2”, the actors and roles riveted the attention of critics. Zachary left a good impression.
Zachary Pugh was born in 1980. He was a regular participant in children's theater groups and performances on the school stage. Parents quickly understand their child’s vocation and allow him to move to Los Angeles to start a great career. No one was particularly surprised at the guy’s first successes on stage and in the frame. Since childhood, he dreamed of acting and persistently went to this, suffice it to say about the debut on the stage at the age of 6.
Now he has almost 30 roles and recognition of teenage audiences around the world. In the movie, Zachary has been acting for 15 years, during which time he has accumulated a luxurious experience. All claims were directed to the director, the actors gathered good reviews, and “Alvin and the Chipmunks 2” as a whole received mixed reviews.
Jason lee
California native Jason Lee was born in 1970. Even before the first role in his career, the future actor had already become famous among teenagers due to skateboard tricks.
At the age of 23, he made his film debut. A small episodic role then will not bring him popularity. Only on the third attempt does he get a major role. The picture “In pursuit of Amy” opened the opportunity for the newcomer to the big screen to prove himself fully. Since that time, Jason has been known and appreciated in the acting and directorial circles.
His full acting experience is already 24 years old, in the list of works for the most part family comedies. The track record fits almost 40 films on the big screen.
Now Jason Lee is 47 years old, in the second part of the comedy about talking chipmunks, he played at the age of 39. The actors of “Alvin and the Chipmunks 2” already knew about the director’s plans to shoot the third part as well, so the critics' indignation did not bother anyone in the film set. Jason was no exception, he appreciates audience laughter much more.
Plot
This time the chipmunks will have to go to school. How will they survive this adventure? For the love of girls, Ryan promises chipmunks reprisal at any opportunity. Now they can’t even look at their classmates, but the guys still managed to anger the jealous athletes in the football team and were forced to flee.
Simon later threatened the hooligans to gnaw a hole inward to one of them and lay out the nest there. All these brawls forced the director to remove the main characters from the lessons. This, of course, didn’t upset them much, but now the legends of the “chipmunk” music will have to perform on the school stage.
