Movie Reviews of Alvin and the ChipmunksMovie Review: Chipmunk Fun Summary: 4 StarsThe Chipmunks Star in Thier First Live-Action Movie as it Follows The Story of Dave Seville, Who Just Got Fired From His Job at Jett Records. That Night in His Home, Sad and Alone, He Meets The 3 Singing Chipmunks Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. After The Chipmunks Get Famous With Thier First Hit Song, ''The Chipkmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)'', Jett Records Producer Ian Takes Invatege of The Chipmunk Trio and Takes Them Away By Telling a Lie Saying That Dave Dosn't Care One Bit About Them. The Chipmunks (Unfortunatly) Fall For It and Decide To Stay With Ian. Now It's Up To Dave To Get The Chipmunks Back Before It's Too Late.
I Was Surprised By How Eaisly Great and Fun The Film Was. It's A Kids Movie For Kids, But If Your an Adult Who's Grown Up With The Chipmunks I Recommend You Watch With Your Kids. I Would've Given The Film 5 Stars, But The reason I'm Giving It One Star Less Than I Expected To Give It, Was Mainly The Acting Choice of Jason Lee as Dave Seville. Jason Lee Dosn't Make a Very Realistic Dave Seville, He Just Seems Like About Every Carecter He's Played Just More Dramatic, But Most of The Time, It Dosn't Work. Maybe if Thay Got Ross Bagdasarian, Jr. To Play The Live-Action Dave Seville, I Think It Would Be More Dramatic and Comidical Than The Way Jason Lee Did It. The Actors Who Were Cosen To Play The Chipmunk Trio Were Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler, and Jesse McCartney, These 3 Do A Fantastic Job Voicing Them and Thay Make These 3 Singing Chipmunks Beliveable and Fun. The Visuals for The Singing Trio Very Belivable as Well.
SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE
-Chip-Chip Hooray A Chipmunk History
-Hitting The Harmony The Chipmunks Music
-Sneak Peek at Horton Hears A Who
The ''Chip-Chip Hooray'' Feature is The Best Feature on The DVD. I Always Wanted To Know How The Chipmunks Got Started and I Was Glad To Finally Known How. The ''Hitting The Harmony'' Feature is A Very Bad Behind-The-Music Feature. The ''Horton Hears A Who'' Sneak Peek Clip is One of The Best Parts in The Film.

Summary of Alvin and the ChipmunksA 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
