Amazing...Do you know how epic this movie was? It was so epic...Ok, a part i could throw out the window, otherwise this movie was epic. Best film of 2007 up until 2009.

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!

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.

This film is a faithful and delightful adaptation of a beloved children's family and musical cartoon. It successfully replicates and in some ways improves the sole charms of the characters with the kiddish mischief sure to entertain kids. This is also a very good animation effort!
There is sweetness here. The scene in which Dave and the boys decorate the tree is charming, and the Chipmunks' excited presentation of gifts to their human dad is actually sort of touching. And dang it, the little animated rodents are cute.… Expand

A good Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. The characters match the old ones, and look cool. The story was fun and had a good Christmas feel. The best in the series.

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!!!!!

A fantastic kids movie, lots of manic singing, slapstick and mess-making from the chipmunks to keep the kiddies amused, plus some great humour for the parents. David Cross is especially funny.

David Cross is especially funny. What impressed me most though was the refreshing sight of normal-sized women in the Chipmunk's band (no size zeros here), and the movie also features actors *shock horror* with less than ridiculously perfect teeth, all of which can only send out positive messages to the children. The film also held my three year old's undivided attention for an hour an a half (no mean feat). And most importantly, her verdict is,and I quote: "It was great!"… Expand

This movie really made me feel like I was a little kid watching the cartoon again. It was funny from beginning to end. If you go expecting to see anything, but a silly adaption of a children's cartoon you'll e really disappointed.
