Movie Reviews of Alvin and the Chipmunks
Movie Review: ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS,BIG FLOP OR GREAT FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY ?
Summary: 4 Stars
i just saw this movie and i have to say i am both impressed and a little disappointed in it.
the film starts off with the three chipmunks in the woods storing nuts for winter,when their tree is chopped down by loggers and then taken to the big city and thus enters the life of dave seville who is a struggling music writer trying to make that one song that someone will want to sing and thus is unable to make.
so, enter the three chipmunks into his life and things begin to change for them all drastically.the voices were great for the three chipmunks and the movie had it's funny moments to it as well as it's serious messeage of nothing is more important in life then understanding the meaning of being a family.
now for the down sides to this movie, jason lee from that craptacular nbc show called earl plays dave seville which in my opinion was a huge mistake.he makes the character too shallow,arrogent and stupid about everything having to do with both dave's life and lost relationship with his ex girlfriend who is also his across from him neighbor as well.
secondly,the chipmunks singing of songs in this movie could have been better as they are no good at singing hip hop or anything like that.in my opinion this part of the movie could have been done better.
all in all this movie was botrh great and funny and both a little disappointing and could have been done better.
but thats just my opinion,check it out and see what you think.
sincerely joe michaels of milton,fl.
Summary of Alvin and the Chipmunks
Families come in many different shapes and sizes, but few humans consider rodents members of the family. Dave Seville (Jason Lee) is no exception, so when this flailing musician finds three young talking chipmunks gorging themselves in his kitchen cupboards, Dave is quick to question his sanity and then toss the offending chipmunks outside into the rain and restore order. When Dave hears the chipmunks singing outside his window, he realizes that that unusual trio might just be the world's next vocal sensation and he strikes a bargain with them--the chipmunks can stay with him if they sing his songs. While chipmunks Alvin (Justin Long), Theodore (Jesse McCartney), and Simon (Matthew Gray Gubler) quickly begin to see Dave as a father figure, it's strictly a business arrangement for Dave and he maintains an appropriate emotional distance. Dave's frustration with the chipmunks mounts as they unwittingly wreak havoc on his personal life, but when Dave's old friend and record label mogul Ian (David Cross) begins to exploit the chipmunks for personal gain, Dave suddenly realizes what an important part of his life, and indeed his family, the three chipmunks have become. Hilarity reins in this live action/CGI comedy with many memorable scenes--think chipmunks showering in the dishwasher, riding in remote control planes, and bouncing off the walls under the influence of a serious caffeine buzz. Catchy Chipmunks' songs both new and old promise to lodge themselves in the minds of viewers long after the credits roll and even those none-too-enchanted with the premise of singing chipmunks can't help but be entertained by this comical film. (Ages 6 and older with parental guidance due to mild rude humor) --Tami Horiuchi
