This movie was really cute and great for kids and adults alike. If you haven't seen it yet, then it's definitely worth seeing.

Forget the critics!! This movie is what it is, and it is FUN! Not to mention cute, entertaining and heartwarming. This is not normally the type of movie I'd review, but my kids were so upset at the critics reviews that I had to say something. We took them to see this before Christmas and they loved it! Like a ride at Disneyland, they wanted to get right back in line! I have to say there was some fallout...I had to listen to Alvin and the Chipmunks sing Christmas songs until I was desperate for the next holiday!(Which didn't take long!) Enjoy this movie & have fun, which won't be too hard to do:)

This movie is hilarious and fun for all ages. I was one of the funniest movies ive seen in awhile. very well done. If you want a good, funny family movie, try Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Originally, I was going to fear that "Alvin and the Chipmunks" was going to be awful. Something that's like "Garfield" or "Underdog" compared to the original cartoons and comics, a huge rip-off. The original cartoons were a huge hit, but I only saw a few of them when I was nine years old. I did enjoy them, but after a while, I didn't really talk too much about "Alvin and the Chipmunks" -- that is until I know that it was going to be made into a movie.
But I saw the film on DVD, and the movie was absolutely NOTHING as bad as "Garfield." Sure, it's like "Toy Story," but in fact, it's somewhat appealing to the original cartoon. We got three singing chipmunks with cute, but yet annoying and irritating voices, but the voice actors Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubbler and Jesse McCartney actually did a great job playing the voices, and brought some memories back from the original cartoon.
"Alvin and the Chipmunks" tells the story of a musician named Dave Seville (Jason Lee). In fact, his song wasn't appealing by his greedy music writer Ian (David Cross). Dave Seville goes home and spots three chipmunks in his house, named: Alvin, Simon and Theodore. However, the house turns into chaos for Dave as the three chipmunks start ruling it. But soon, Ian comes in and tries to exploit the chipmunks into his own home, Dave wants to find a way to save his friends.
The movie does spoof to bathroom humor and violent slapstick, but you can at least enjoy the film. You could see it with the child's eye and the children will enjoy it. The movie, at times, is very funny and you'll at least enjoy it.
Gorgeous and funny :-) March 30, 2008

I really loved this movie. It's not only geared for kids, but everyone can find this enjoyable. The chipmunks are adorable and it's clever, cute and very entertaining.
Jason Lee plays Dave Seville who is a struggling songwriter. When he finds the chipmunks in his kitchen (their tree got cut down to make a Christmas tree and they ended up in the city), he throws them out only to hear them singing later and begins to think that they could bring him success. He lets them stay with him if they sing his songs. There is Alvin who is voiced really well by Justin Long and the mischievous leader of the trio; brainy Simon and cute and chubby Theodore (I love the scene with them having a shower in Dave's dishwasher). But Daves friend Ian wants to break up this happy group to exploit the chipmunks.
It's such a cute movie that is funny and so entertaining and even though it's not the kind of movie to watch over and over again, it's certainly worth buying to look at everynow and then. I still crack up everytime I hear them singing in their cute little voices and watching them getting up to no good is always hillarious. I highly recommend this dvd and can't wait to get a copy.
