Tim Hill's "Alvin and the Chipmunks" was one of the lamest films I've seen in years, but believe it or not, this mess of a movie actually pulled in $217 million domestically. No kidding.

Shortly after the film's success, a sequel was announced, and now it's almost here. Opening day is Dec. 25, 2009, and here is a brand-new (and boring) teaser trailer.

In "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel," the annoying chipmunks run into the chipettes. Darn, that CG just looks awful, doesn't it?

Anyway, I hardly doubt this follow-up will be better than its predecessor. Even though I don't know how bad it will be, one thing is for sure: I already can't wait for this year's Christmas Day to be over.
