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

 Family Friendly January 7, 2009
What a cute movie! Crystal clear in Blu-ray. Your family will love watching this movie together (now tell me, how many films can you say that about today?).
Cool January 2, 2009
I brought this movie for my 8yr old son. He can't get enough of this movie..
Watched it over and over December 28, 2008
This is a really cute movie, my family has watched it over and over again. This is one of those movies that you just can't go wrong with.
 Holds the attention of a 3 year old for about an hour December 24, 2008
I purchased this for my three year old son who saw the previews and freaked out. Not a bad movie, pretty good music, seriously, we all remember the chipmunks growing up. CGI is pretty good, casting is so so. I still can't believe they put David Cross and Jason Lee in a kids movie with the foul stuff they've done in the past. I'm no prude, I think it's funny. Not sure if Jason Lee was the best choice for this role, he doesn't scream "ALVIN" very well. My son doesn't know that nor does he care. He sings and dances along with the chipmunks and seeing him enjoy himself is worth the price. Your kids will love it and you'll be able to tolerate multiple viewings.
Unabashedly Cute December 23, 2008
The latest incarnation of the late David Seville's fuzzy musical rodents is a definite winner.
We are first introduced to the brothers, Simon (the smart one), Alvin (the "awesomest"), and Theodore, (the sweet sensitive one) in their natural habitat, a mountainous area with pine trees as they struggle to store nuts while singing the cutest version of "You Had a Bad Day", harmonizing perfectly.
Strangely, the humans about to cut down their tree don't notice their singing. But their adventure begins when their habitat is hauled away by truck with them inside, and their tree is decorated for display in the lobby of a recording studio where they have their first encounter with Dave Seville (Jason Lee), an amature songwriter whose latest idea has just been rejected by college mate, Ian (David Cross) the head and CEO of Jett Records.
Leaving behind their tree, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore ( voiced by Justin Long, Matthew Gray Guber, and Jesse McCartney) stowaway in the basket of muffins a dejected Dave stole from Ian's office.
Once in Dave's home, the trio initially get off on the wrong foot. But once Dave realizes they can sing, he lets them stay, and is inspired to continue pursuing a career as a songwriter.
Childish missteps and faux pas from the trio--especially Alvin-- test Dave's patience, and in the meantime, he works to rekindle a romance with his ex-girlfriend, Claire (Cameron Richards).
Soon, Ian gets wind of the trio's vocal abilities, and they rocket to fame. Dave is a careful and frugal surrogate parent to the critters he slowly comes to view as his children. But Ian seduces them away from Dave, and they end up spoiled, overworked, and mistreated. The scene where Baby Theodore realizes that Ian lacks the true affection Dave showed for him and his brothers might result in a charge of animal cruelty in real life, and there is a wistful moment where we watch the little critter wander away hurt and disillusioned.
But when they see how much Dave cares for them, the ending is predictable, and life for the musical, mischeivous, one-liner-filled "Fab furs" ends literally on a happy note.
There is a bit of unnecessary crassness in this production, but 50 years after his singing chipmunks first became a sensation, David Seville can rest assured that his legacy is in very good hands.
