![]() ![]() An inhibition is a force that prevents something from happening and usually comes from within yourself. ![]() Recall that one of the side effects of the spider bite is the loss of inhibition. This aspect must be considered in order to understand Simone, and in turn, Simon. The side effects of the neurotoxin include " changes in personality, loss of inhibition, dry mouth."īelow is a fundamental element that might have been overlooked. He also could not have remembered his compliment to her before as Simone since when the side effects wore off, he shows no recollection of dating Jeanette or of giving her a bracelet. " Even the most precious gem cannot compare to your beauty." is almost exactly the same as Simon's comment to Jeanette on the raft (one word difference): " Even the most perfect gem cannot compare to your beauty." If Simone and Simon are not the same, the odds of Simon saying this near exact statement are very slim. Simone's comment to Jeanette at the waterfall after giving her the bracelet is critical to consider. By overcoming fear, Simon briefly transforms into Simone while exposing his true love for her through his act of heroism. Simon displays fierce determination in saving her just as Simone did earlier. ![]() He refuses to let Jeanette down when she needs him most. After physically seeing her in danger, Simon too becomes independent of his fright by bearing an air of courage around himself. Simone always displayed confidence and never exhibited fear at any point while with Jeanette. They think our kids are stupid and it is this assumption that prevents the Alvin flicks from getting better and becomes, instead, the very reason for much of what is broadly wrong with children's movies in Hollywood - especially those that are made with a covetous eye on the ripe, festival season spoil.Simon's act of bravery for Jeanette as she is pulled back by Zoe mirrors Simone's. This one, in particular, is given a nursery rhyme-like treatment.

If you watch any of the Alvin trilogy, you won't be able to tell one from the other. An insipid treasure hunt subplot fails to pump any kind of suspense and thrill that could have made it enjoyable - if only slightly so.Īs a viewer, particularly an adult one, one looks for mirth and in that desperation, finds even David Cross' Chipmunks-hater Ian, the dullest character sketch in recent memory, massively funny. Simone is endearing and has the sort of energy and irreverent humour that the movie lacks. But it is, perhaps the closest you would come to having fun in this film. The Simone track, in any case, is inconsequential to the plot. A spider bite turns Simon into Simone, an amorous, French-speaking daredevil (Alvin floors a mademoiselle in the Squeakquel) who uses this opportunity to express his love to his amie. With the Chipettes around, there's scope for romance. With no roof over their head and nothing to eat (except a mango, causing them to behave like "animals"), they light fire, build a new home and adapt to their new surrounding with zest. ![]() Alvin, Simon, Theodore and the Chipettes (Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor) get separated from their daddy Dave (Jason Lee) and Uncle Ian (David Cross). ![]()
