Alvin and the Chipmunks star: don’t see this film

Hollywood comedian David Cross has urged the public not to see ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked’, even though he starred in the film.

In an interview on Conan O’Brien talk show in America, he described how much he hated filming the kid’s movie sequel.
“I would say in all honesty it was the most miserable experience I've ever had in my professional life,” he said.
The star, who played villainous record executive Ian Hawke, said: “It was a miserable experience because of, not the cast and the crew who were great, [but because] I was forced at legal point to spend a week on a cruise ship.
“It was terrible. There was no reason for me to be there. They thought ‘won't it be fun to get David on there.’"
“And the scenes that take place on the cruise ship I am always in a pelican mascot foam rubber outfit where you cannot see any of my flesh, nor do I have any dialogue.”
He then told the audience: “If you see the movie – and don’t!”, before describing it as “a big commercial for Carnival Cruise Lines.”
Cross, who also appeared in ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’, has said before that he only signed up to star in the ‘Alvin’ films for the cash.
Writing on his now-defunct blog, he said he had been out of work for six months and couldn’t buy a nice home in the country with just his “indie hipster cred”.
Bizarrely, it’s not the first time ‘Alvin the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked’ has been in the news this year. Last week a man was arrested for flashing an audience at a screening of the film.
