 very fun and entertaining, 2008-02-26
i went to see the movie recently and i thought that it was one of the most entertaing and fun movies in a long time. im 18 so im not a little kid but im not very much of an adult either but i loved the movie just like everyone else did. all the kids at the theater loved it and my mom did too. this is one of those movies that everyone likes and you can watch it over and over again and not get tired of it. jason lee wasnt the best actor and at times i found him slightly annoying (he seemed a bit too cartoon-ish... but that might have been a good thing since this is a remake of a cartoon) but it didnt really matter because overall the movie, the script and the chipmunks were great... and the music was the best.
i would recommend this movie for anyone. i can almost guarantee that you will enjoy it.

Laugh-out-loud funny!, 2008-02-24
My family - myself, my daughter, my parents, and my sister - watched the Chipmunks just before Christmas as part of a family outing. Ranging in age from 6 to 52, each of us laughed out loud - regularly - throughout the film (along with everyone else in the theater). I knew we had a winner when, as we exited the theater, I asked my daughter what she thought of the movie, and she simply replied, "I want it." She has never specifically asked me to buy ANY movie watched in the theater. And I admit, I want this movie too!
It was such a refreshing change from the animated movies released over the past couple of years. With those movies, we watched the previews and headed to the theater with great anticipation just to leave the theater disappointed because every one of the funniest moments was covered in the previews and honestly was funnier in the previews. With this movie however the trailers undoubtedly had us laughing; we played them over and over (we particularly enjoyed the dishwasher/shower scene). But during the movie, we not only laughed at all those same moments, but more importantly we laughed at many, many others.
I recommend this movie for everyone - kids and adults. I don't know how anyone could leave the theater without a smile and without at least one or two chuckles on the drive home. I'm looking forward to watching it again (and again), not only because it was laugh-out-loud funny and 100% enjoyable, but also because I want to see all the parts I laughed over - and thus missed - the first time around.

Good music, funny scenes, all tied well together, 2008-02-20
I took both my three year old and my six year old to this movie, and they sat through the whole thing! They were mesmerized by the silly humor. For instance, in one scene Alvin pretends to eat Theodore's poop so Dave thinks it's a raisin and doesn't get mad.
The story starts with Dave, an unsuccessful song writer, who accidentally takes the chipmunks home. This is where all the fun starts. He wants them out, then finds out they can sing! He says they can stay if they sing his music. The chipmunks grew up in a forrest with no parents, so they have NO manners. There are loads of funny scenes as they destroy his house and his social life. He is determined not to be their "dad", they're just friends.
Enter evil uncle Ian. He is Dave and the chipmunks manager, who of course, told Dave his music stunk before the chipmunks entered the scene. On Christmas, Dave had given the boys savings bonds, which granted, is a lame gift. But he meant well, and he was thinking about their future. Uncle Ian comes in with lots of toys, setting the scene for Dave is the serious one, and uncle Ian is the fun one.
Dave of course gets soft to the boys, and his desire that they have a normal childhood becomes apparent, whereas Ian just wants to make money. Ian eventually exploits the situation and the boys come to live with him. This is where the real drama comes in. You have to see the movie to find this part out. But don't worry, it has a happy ending with a nostalgic "ALVIN!!!"
The music is absolutely great. There are songs I remember from growing up in the sixties, and then there are new ones that are more in keeping with today's music.
I pre-ordered this DVD as soon as I found out it was available, and my boys and I can't wait to get it!

CHIPMUNKS ROCK!, 2008-02-19
The day after Christmas my 87-year-old mother said, "I'd like to go see that Chipmunk movie." This caught me off-guard as she never asks to go to a movie anymore (too much blood, guts, violence, nudity, swearing) and the movie had gotten terrible reviews. I am not a fan of MY NAME IS EARL so I was skeptical about the "human star" too. But we went, and along with the 200 or so kids, we had a fantastic time. We both LOVED this movie. Everything about it is adorable. I can't wait to own it so we can enjoy it over and over. I bought the CD of the music to tide me over until the film is released.
