Don't expect ground-breaking work, because this certainly isn't it, but it's a well meaning attempt to pay tribute to Alvin and the Chipmunks series, and succeeds in being just that. The plot is predictable and there's no serious depth, but if you go in with the right state of mind it makes for a heart-warming piece of escapism.… Expand

Now I don't want to defend the awful 'talking cgi animal' genre, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy this movie. Be sure to watch if you enjoy Chipmunk songs like I do!

This movie was very funny and cute. I can't really imagine myself ever giving it a three or a two. Definitely not worthy of reviews its been getting. Also, they cover good songs, not cookie-cutter-pop-stuff.

It can actually be fun for both kids and adults. Alvin and the Chipmunks has immature moments, but the jokes are funny and the characters are funny.

Obviously, this is one of those films that kids will enjoy more than parents, and I don't think it's worth repeat viewings, but all in all, "Alvin and the Chipmunks" isn't an awful film at all. Just keep your expectations in check, and make sure to watch it with the kids, if you want to get the full enjoyment out of this one.… Expand

4. Great quality images.
5. Good storyline.
6. One of the best films that were released in 2007.
7. Great acting.
8. Humorous scenes.
9. Heartwarming moments.
10. Great sequels.

I recommend this film to anyone who has a young relative (baby, little brother/sister, little nephew/niece or grandson/granddaughter etc...) or anyone who enjoys a good cartoon because it is a great cartoon which you can buy from any dvd store (Blockbuster) or online store (Amazon, eBay or Play.com).

So why are you still reading this you should be on a different website or on your way to a dvd store now. Go on GO!!!!!

Sadly, this movie, well, sucked. The acting was horrible --even more than the atrocious script-- and eventually the chipmunks got annoying to put up with anymore. I have to admit that the movie started out pretty good though, and that's the reason for the 3 instead of 0 stars. Also, I can't get the sound of Jason Lee screaming "ALVIN!" out of my head, because that's about the only line from the movie that you will remember.… Expand

Yep, this was pretty bad. Though the chipmunks themselves are simply adorable, this movie is disastrously hampered by a god-awful attempt at a successful sense of humor and underwritten characters. Strictly for the kiddies.

The three main characters are devoid of personality, and while they may win over the kiddies, they will most likely annoy adults. Jason Lee meanwhile, looks depressed to even be in the movie, and it's not hard to see why. The only funny part of the movie is David Cross, who brings much more energy to the picture than it deserves. So why did I give it a five and not a two, I hear you ask? Because the beginning does have its moments. That, and I'm feeling generous. Overall, it may please young children, but Alvin and the Chipmunks will do little for their parents, and fans of the original cartoon looking for nostalgia will probably feel cheated.… Expand

Oh, and the chipmunks' voices while inevitably charming were sometime a little difficult to understand, but were bearable. The storyline was predictable. Really this isn't the kind of movie you would watch if you were say 13+ but if you did anyway, it probably didn't wow you. But in praise to this movie, kids will like it, it's a good family movie and it's a passable alternative to other pieces of garbage.

Alvin and the Chipmunks, even the name sounds stupid. Who would waste their time or their money to go watch the dumbest film of the century. Seriously, the only attraction to this film is the voice of the chipmunks, which sounds kind of Alvin and the Chipmunks, even the name sounds stupid. Who would waste their time or their money to go watch the dumbest film of the century. Seriously, the only attraction to this film is the voice of the chipmunks, which sounds kind of funny, but after 5 minutes in, you start getting sick of all the cheesy moments and awfully written lines in the film. All the director sees that's enjoyable is the little cute chipmunks, that were so pathetic and emabarrasing most of the time. I not only barfed in Saw 4, but I had the stomach flew right after I watched this terrible chipmunk adaption. Even if Peter Jackson directed this film, it still would be stupid. The most pointless scene in the film was when the guy wakes up at 3:00 in the morning trying to shutup the chipmunks from randomly singing out of the blue. I can't believe how lame this movie was. I can't say that I've seen a more worse motion picture than this one. Avoid at all costs.… Expand

"Alvin and the Chipmunks" is a movie for children saddled with a plotline that will not pique their imagination. They'll be bored stiff. Adults will recognize the framework of the musical biopic; the rise to fame, followed by the "Alvin and the Chipmunks" is a movie for children saddled with a plotline that will not pique their imagination. They'll be bored stiff. Adults will recognize the framework of the musical biopic; the rise to fame, followed by the realization that fame isn't all it's cracked up to be(Theodore's gluttony is a metaphor for drug use), but a small child won't. And that's a problem. "Alvin and the Chipmunks" is "A Star is Born" with vermin. Kids want magic. Adults want Judy Garland. Neither party will be satisfied by this charmless piece of noxious filmmaking. "The Chipmunk Song" does not translate to a contemporary audience. It belongs in a time capsule. The film's only satisfying moment is when we see David Seville(Jason Lee...slumming...for his kids) writing the famous children's song at his piano. If you're of a certain age, when Alvin sings, "me, I want a hula-hoop", your heart will yearn to be a child again. But then they ruin the song's innocence with a unctous remake that's predictably awful, replete with that bane of screenwriting, the montage, which encapsulates their meteoric rise to the top. "Alvin and the Chipmunks" is the anti-thesis of what Pixar stands for; the late Jim Henson, too.… Expand

Just like I thought when I saw the trailer. It is almost nothing like the cartoon show. The acting is terrible and the story is cliche. And it almost feels like it ends abruptly.

This is an awesome movie. The chipmunks are cute in their own way, unique and adorable. The cast of human characters isn't as amazing, but the chipmunks' performance definitely makes it up for that.

I am giving this movie a 1. i would've given it a zero but i think it really has the chance of winning the best picture Oscar/ and also the best actor Oscar but not for the human but instead for one of the chipmunks.

Excellent family fun - It is aimed at 6 year olds and works perfectly for them. I don't understand who the begative reviewers thought it was aimed at.

F*cking Unbearable

This movie is probably one of the absolute most annoying films I’ve ever seen along with it’s sequels.

Love this movie. Kind of funny and cute to see these little hairy beasts singing pop songs. At least the songs weren't bad.

It's a classic kids movie by now. Yes it was annoying at the time but I've grown to like it.

The movie was my childhood and I can say it was alright. I usually don't like cheap humor, which is a weakness, but the storyline was predictable and has some charm. It wasn't until the end that it really trashed. It's like a waste. Anyways,The movie was my childhood and I can say it was alright.

Anyways, the visuals are really cool for back then, the music was great, Jason Lee was pretty good as Dave, the Chipmunk voices fit, and the visuals for the Chipmunks, they are decent enough. However, the movie gives me nostalgia and I can say it, some of the movie is worth it to see it. I would recommend it for crazy little kids.… Expand
