Amazon.co.uk Review
A staggering surprise success at the box office just before Christmas 2007, the reason for the popularity of IAlvin and the Chipmunks/I soon becomes clear. Not only is it a new adventure for a popular set of characters of old, it?s also a fun, breezy family movie, that the kids in particular will enjoy. P Starring Jason Lee (of IMy Name Is Earl/I fame), IAlvin and the Chipmunks/I mixes in live action and CGI chipmunks (Alvin, Simon and Theodore) in a story that sees that moved from their natural habitat into the midst of the big city. The plot then becomes as predictable as you?d expect, but there?s still plenty of fun to be had anyway. P For IAlvin and the Chipmunks/I has plenty in its corner. It?s funny, first and foremost, and moves along at a good pace, never forgetting that its prime job is to entertain its audience. And that?s something it easily manages to do, wrapping everything up by remembering not to outstay its welcome, either. P Considering that IAlvin and the Chipmunks/I enjoy a legion of fans that stretch back decades, it?s perhaps not a surprise after all that the film enjoyed the success it did. But what?s pleasing is that the spirit of the source material, in spite of its contemporary setting, is adhered to, and there?s fun for all in the end product. --IJon Foster/I

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful heartwarming movie   October 29, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought this movie for my 2 girls aged 2yrs 4yrs having read the reviews already posted on Amazon and it absolutely deserves the 5 star rating. It was lovely to have a movie with no 'mildly frightening scenes' like many other kids movies as my two find them terrifying. The chipmunks are adorable, the singing is cute, the storyline is simple yet engaging and we've watched it every day since we got it with no signs of tiring of it! Oh, and my husband thinks the blu-ray format is fab, whatever that means!


5 out of 5 stars An Adorable Movie   June 20, 2008
Alvin The Chipmunks is one of those shows that you remember with fondness from your childhood and thanks to corporate money grabbing, the movie executives decided it was a good idea to take your childhood and update it. I was skeptical at first, I thought this would just be another one of those movies that takes a classic cartoon series like Garfield or The Flintstones and makes a feature length movie using either Live action, CGI or both. Because of this I kept away from this film as long as I could but after resisting temptation for so long, I had to give in and at least give it a try, needless to say I wasn't disappointed. For this review I will discuss both the pros and cons of this movie to give you a fair and honest view of the film to give you an informed decision.br /br /Pro: Jason Lee: Most people will know him from the hit comedy series My Name Is Earl and with these people that will have been the only reason they will have given this film a chance. He's a great comic actor and someone that you just look at and smile because of his natural charisma and ease at which he plays the beaten, yet optimistic Dave Seville. He is a bit cringeworthy when doing the whole ALVIN!!!! thing as, although it's a part of the classic series, in todays setting it just doesn't fit. Either way though Jason Lee was one of the primary reasons why I enjoyed the film like I didbr /br /Con: The CGI: I know if you wanted to make a live action version of Alvin and the Chipmunks the use of CGI would be inevitable. The problem I have with it though, is that the CGI animations are quite sub-par and by todays standards should have been much better. At times with the CGI being a bit unrealistic it took a big element out of the film and in a way destroyed the fantasy element of the whole thing.br /br /Pro: The Music: Obviously the whole premise of Alvin and the Chipmunks being that they're singing Chipmunks, the introduction of music would be inevitable. From the get go we're introduced to the classic high pitched yet melodic singing of the gang and the voices just make you think that the whole thing is adorable. Being voiced by Justin Long, Jesse McCartney Matthew Gray Gubler the singing is an even bigger surprise as it does present a feel of genuine harmony between the three.br /br /Great movie that I personally think everybody should have a watch of.


5 out of 5 stars Hillarious movie for the whole family   May 4, 2008

I watched this movie with my kids with some trepidation. I almost passed it by in the shop because I just thought "Oh no. Chip 'n Dale!" but both kids put their foot down and I was forced into a purchase :) I need not have worried for this is a film full of fun for adults and children alike. A thoroughly enjoyable time which found all of us laughing out loud from start to finish!br /br /Fantastic picture quality on this Blu-Ray version and great 5.1 DTS HD Master audio fills the room with the music. br /br /I can't wait for the second showing next weekend :)br /
