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...
more...city, where they wind up in the home of Dave Seville (Jason Lee). Dave, a down-on-his-luck songwriter, realises 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 modernises 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 (DIE HARD 4.0) steals the show as the voice of Alvin, who provides the group's lively spirit.

To begin with you wonder what on earth you've come to watch, but as you start to get into the film you realise how good it is!! It is most definitely a family film with bits for both adults and children to like. Although there isn't much depth to the plot, it doesn't need it! Little thinking is needed when watching this film which makes it easy to follow, with just one main story running throughout. I would definitely recmmend this film because I loved it! I thought the characters were easy to relate with and really cute! You get really involved in this film especially with the chipmonks who we begin to feel sorry for for being tricked into the money making world of the music industry
