Contrary to what a lot of people will tell you, there is nothing inherently wrong with puns. Shakespeare used them, James Joyce used them — The Beatles even used one to come up with the name of their band. But it’s hard not to dislike puns when they’re as bad as the one in the title of the newest Alvin and the Chipmunks film. The ‘Squeak’-quel? Really? If we’re being charitable, though, we will admit: That awful title is the most creative thing about the entire film. (The plot, if you were unaware, takes the singing chipmunks to high school, just because.) Unfortunately, last year’s Squeakquel made even more money than the original Alvin and the Chipmunks, which means one thing: Get ready for the shrill-ogy.
