Trivia
At one point, Justin Long did not show interest in returning to voice Alvin in the fourth installment of the franchise and that he would be replaced by Matthew Lillard. However, Lillard was unavailable because he was busy working on Scooby-Doo projects and after giving it a second thought, Long returned to voice Alvin once again for this film.

Goofs
Additional screening is always done by a TSA officer of the same gender.

Quotes
Alvin: Don't you judge me, John Waters, I've seen Pink Flamingos

Crazy credits
There is a scene where Air Marshall Suggs is asked to leave the pool. When refusing, he's taken out by hotel security.

Can't believe they made another one after Chipwrecked. Can't believe I actually enjoined myself on this one

So here we are, four movies into an Alive an a Chipmunk franchise. I did not think the first movie was that good to make a second, and I thought the third film was so bad that it would mark the end of the franchise, but "Episode IV": the Road Chip has arrived.

This time Alvin, Simon, and Theodore go on a fun adventure all across the southern united states as they attempt to get from LA to Florida in order to stop Dave from purposing to a woman, which will change his life forever, have him leave the Chipmunks behind, and make them stepbrothers with their worse enemy(or so they think in their heads)

I did go into the movie with very low standards of it's capability, but I'll admit, I am impress. The plot was cartoonish and only used to get the momentum going. The Road chip is all about the zingy mischief and mayhem that the chipmunks cause in a sketch by sketch somewhat layout that's intertwine with musical numbers of the Chipmunks ripping off the latest hot song of the time (though I think they due perform one original song, but I'm not hip enough to be sure).

The chipets also make a small appearance in the movie as the new Judges of American Idol, which was hilarious.

It's literally like watching a child trying to entertain you. They can be irritating at first but it's so cute you can't help but to soften your hard adult shell and just be amused at the whole thing.
