Alvin and the Chipmunks 2: The Squeakquel is a 2009 American musical comedy film directed by Betty Thomas and written by Jon Vitti, Jonathan Aibel, and Glenn Berger. Based on Alvin and the Chipmunks by Ross Bagdasarian Sr., and the fictional girl group The Chipettes by Janice Karman, it is the second in the live-action Alvin and the Chipmunks film series. The film stars Zachary Levi, David Cross, and Jason Lee, with Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler and Jesse McCartney returning to voice the Chipmunks; Christina Applegate, Amy Poehler and Anna Faris join the voice cast as the Chipettes. The film sees the Chipmunks entering high school under the care of Dave Seville's cousin, Toby. Meanwhile, Ian Hawke recruits the Chipettes to restore his career. Alvin and the Chipmunks 2: The Squeakquel was released in the United States on December 23, 2009, by 20th Century Fox. The film grossed $443 million against a $70–75 million budget even though it received negative reviews. It was followed by two sequels, Chipwrecked in 2011, and The Road Chip in 2015.
