| Movie Description This live-action/computer-animated update of Ross Bagdasarian's squeaky-voiced cartoon characters finds the chipmunks (in CGI form) transported from their woodland habitat to the city, where they wind up in the home of Dave Seville (Jason Lee). Dave, a down-on-his-luck songwriter, realizes the potential of a singing chipmunk pop act, and becomes an unlikely mentor/father figure to feisty Alvin, brainy Simon, and dopey Theodore. Meanwhile, the threesome causes chaos in his life, leading to plenty of fun, frenetic scenarios. When a devious record executive (David Cross) enters the picture, however, Alvin and the Chipmunks must deal with both the trappings of fame and their loyalty to the amiable, hapless Dave. Directed by Tim Hill (GARFIELD: A TALE OF TWO KITTIES), ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS simultaneously modernizes and pays tribute to the classic title characters, who first appeared in the late 1950s and became wildly popular in the '60s. While Lee (MY NAME IS EARL) is well cast as the perpetually exasperated Dave, Long (LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD) steals the show as the voice of Alvin, who provides the group's lively spirit. Though some older viewers may wince at the prospect of their beloved Chipmunks rapping, the movie is generally respectful of the franchise's long legacy, and will easily win over a younger generation.

Reviews  Alvin and the Chipmunks I bought this movie for my sister. I plan to watch it with her though, because it's one of the cutest movies I've seen in a long time. It was very creative and really grabbed your attention right from the start. It brought back memories of watching Alvin and the Chipmunks when I was little. The character's personalities remained the same from years back yet had a sort of modern twist to them. I highly recommend this movie to people of all ages and it's a great family film for a family movie night! Review ID: 10000000009013427 Was this review helpful?

Report this review Alvin and the Chipmunks (2008, DVD)Review created: 10/06/08 by: I bought this movie for my 5 yr. old grandson who absolutely loved it. The shipping was very fast but I wished they would have shipped it to their house for me so I paid double shipping so I probably will not buy again for that reason.
