Alvin ''Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip Chip'' is the fourth and final ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'' film, released in 2015.

The Chipmunks and Chipettes set up a surprise birthday bash for Dave in their new house, doubling also as a going-away party for the Chipettes, who will be in ''American Idol'' as guest judges. While Dave is dissatisfied that
Alvin and invited multiple celebrities, he later agrees to take them mini-golfing to meet Dave's girlfriend of a few months, Samantha (Creator/KimberlyWilliamsPaisley). While they do like her, they don't like her son, Miles (Creator/JoshGreen), who physically bullies the trio. Later, the Chipmunks film.

find an engagement ring in Dave's bag and try to steal it, but fail.

Dave goes to Miami to produce a record for pop artist Ashley Grey (Creator/BellaThorne), and takes Samantha along with him, leaving the Chipmunks with Miles. Both the trio and Miles agree that they don't want Dave and Samantha to get married, and thus they follow them to Miami. The plane they take is forced into an emergency landing after Theodore releases a bunch of animals, leading to James Suggs (Creator/TonyHale), an Air Marshall who has a personal vendetta against the Chipmunks, to pursue them for the rest of their journey.

!!This film contains examples of:
* ActorAllusion: Creator/LauraMarano is a babysitter in Miami. Previously, she had played Ally in ''Series/AustinAndAlly'', although the babysitter she plays in [[TheCameo a cameo here]] seems more Trish than Ally.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Theodore might be a bit overweight, but using him to kick Miles out of the way of a car collides with the law of impulse conservation.
* BasementDweller: Toby still lives with his grandma (Dave’s aunt).
* BrickJoke: The Chipmunks dress squirrels who wreck their house. At the very end of the movie, the Sevilles go home to see the damage they did.
-->'''Alvin''': Totally forgot about this...
* BringMyBrownPants: This happened to Simon whilst he and Miles try to get past security in "Road Chip", and he nearly gets found out because of that (by peeing, as [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal he's the one who is not wearing pants]]).
* CastingGag:
** Tony Hale replaces David Cross as the main villain. [[Series/ArrestedDevelopment Does that remind you of anything?]]
** Eddie Steeples plays a friend of Jason Lee's character, just like in ''Series/MyNameIsEarl''.
* DemotedToExtra: The Chipettes get very little screen time because they're promoted to be ''American Idol Judges''. The boys are the main focus of the movie.
* DisneyDeath: Theodore after sacrificing himself to save Miles from getting knocked down by the car, thanks to his brothers slingshotting him, but ends up being hit. Luckily, he's still alive.
* EatTheEvidence: Dave sees a little pellet of poop behind Theodore. Simon claims it's just a raisin, but Dave is skeptical. His hand forced, Simon eats the so-called raisin. After a satisfied Dave leaves the room, Simon scowls at Theodore and says, "You owe me ''big'' time." Curiously, [[TrailersAlwaysLie Alvin]] was the one in the trailer who ate Theodore's poop.
* FreudianExcuse:
** Miles is such a jerk because his father bailed on him when he was 5.
** James Suggs hates the chipmunks because his girlfriend broke up with him while one of their songs was playing in the background.
* GroinAttack: Suggs gets Theodore launched right into his groin.
* GroundedForever: Dave and Samantha ground the chipmunks and Miles until their fur (which Miles does not have) is gray.
* RoadTripPlot: The premise of the film is the three Chipmunks rushing to Miami to stop Dave from proposing to his new girlfriend and dumping them(?).
* ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler: As it turns out, Dave was never going to propose to Samantha, making the "road chip" to Miami unnecessary. The ring they snatched was actually for his friend Barry who was trying to propose to ''his'' girlfriend.]]
* TheStinger: At the end, [[spoiler: Agent Suggs has escaped the elevator the Chipmunks trapped him in and decides to relax by the pool. He's told to leave since it's for hotel guests only, but Suggs refuses and says [[TemptingFate the only way he's leaving is if they carry him out]]. Two security guards are called in and do just that.]]
