Movie Reviews of Alvin and the Chipmunks
Movie Review: Good for Children -
Summary: 2 Stars
Dave Seville (Jason Lee - who stars in TV Sitcom My Name is Earl) plays the lead in a weak script that focuses on three rascal chipmunks. The plot is so-so; a hapless songwriter that has the good luck of running into singing chipmunks. They are amazing and have great harmony. However, as Dave realizes they are high maintenance, and cause much trouble. They like Dave very much, but he throws them out of the house. Of course, an evil record executive sees a chance to make big money over the singing sensation. The chipmunks become international stars, but are exhausted from the hectic schedule. As all good stories go, they are reunited with Dave. Young children should find this movie a laugh riot as the chipmunks mess up the house making toaster waffles, their favorite food.
The computer animated chipmunks are full of cute personality. Older movie viewers may not find the story that engaging and the updated song styles are disappointing. However, throughout the chipmunks are cute, precocious and funny
Summary of Alvin and the Chipmunks
A L V I N ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Struggling songwriter Dave Seville (Jason Lee) opens his home to a talented trio of chipmunks named Alvin, Simon and Theodore, they become overnight music sensations. But when a greedy record producer (David Cross) tries to exploit the "boys", Dave must use a little human ingenuity and a lot of 'munk mischief to get his furry family back before it's too late!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
