Just about scrapes through, although it's really one of those efforts where you end up wishing they hadn't bothered.

The three 'chipettes' are pretty indistinguishable from one another, and conform to the cliched casting of 'the pretty one', 'the brainy one' and 'the fat one', with little personality beyond these tropes.

There is minimal dialogue between them, and when there is girl/girl dialogue, they never actually face each other but look at the camera.

There is, however, a female bad guy, 'Zoe' who interacts with Jeanette (chipette), so the film passes.
