  3. Okay, I will put it out there (not my junk) and say I'd watch them all. I have a soft spot for the chipmunks, even though I haven't seen the first one yet, but sometimes I just feel like a dumb kids film. Assassination looks okay - the only laugh I got out of the trailer (despite the reference to the need to see it multiple times due to all the laughs by one critic) was when they ran over the dog. I know, I'm evil! But I did get a laugh out of couples retreat. Having said that, I was left wondering, with so much in the long trailer, if there's any punch lines left in the film that I haven't seen yet.
