  • Starring: Jason Lee
  • Summary: Alvin and the Chipmunks, a global phenomenon to generations of fans, becomes a live action/CGI motion picture event with a contemporary comic sensibility. Songwriter Dave Seville transforms singing chipmunks Alvin, Simon, and Theodore into pop sensations while the out-of-control trio lays waste to Dave's home, wreaks havoc with his career, and turns his once-orderly life upside down.

    Absolutely--four out of five stars for being cuter, funnier, and, besides, the character design far exceeded my expectations.

    There is sweetness here. The scene in which Dave and the boys decorate the tree is charming, and the Chipmunks' excited presentation of gifts to their human dad is actually sort of touching. And dang it, the little animated rodents are cute.

    Lee, acting through gritted teeth, barely musters the energy to yell “Alvin!,” but the chipmunks themselves -- voiced by Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler and Jesse McCartney -- are surprisingly appealing, though their newly R&B-tinged rendition of “Witch Doctor” is god-awful.

    If karma exists, Alvin and the Chipmunks must be Lee's punishment for appearing in the likes of "Jersey Girl."

    I gave this film 10 out of 10 because of the following reasons:

    1. Great film.
    2. Lots of funny moments.
    3. I would watch it 1 mill    ion times if i could (which i can because i have it on dvd - thank you amazon...)
    4. Great quality images.
    5. Good storyline.
    6. One of the best films that were released in 2007.
    7. Great acting.
    8. Humorous scenes.
    9. Heartwarming moments.
    10. Great sequels.

    I recommend this film to anyone who has a young relative (baby, little brother/sister, little nephew/niece or grandson/granddaughter etc...) or anyone who enjoys a good cartoon because it is a great cartoon which you can buy from any dvd store (Blockbuster) or online store (Amazon, eBay or Play.com).


    So why are you still reading this you should be on a different website or on your way to a dvd store now. Go on GO!!!!!

    If you're looking for a movie like the old Chipmunks movies, you'll probably find yourself entertained. Don't expect ground-breaking work, because this certainly isn't it, but it's a well meaning attempt to pay tribute to Alvin and the Chipmunks series, and succeeds in being just that. The plot is predictable and there's no serious depth, but if you go in with the right state of mind it makes for a heart-warming piece of escapism.… Expand
