Alvin and the Chipmunks

Pros: Same old story. Same old characters. Great family fun!

Cons: None for us!

The Bottom Line: Fun for the whole family! We can take the kids to this one!

Review: I first heard those words uh, those in the title of my review when I was roughly four to five years old. Today, Saturday, December 29, 2007, I sat in the AMC theater of my neighborhood mall hearing them again this time with my eldest son and...

Pros: Funny, Jason Lee

Cons: Mediocre and predictable plot.

The Bottom Line: Alvin and the Chipmunks is good enough to keep you mildly entertained.

Review: The Plot

Dave Seville is a frustrated music artist who constantly gets rejected from his old friend Ian Hawke's record label. So for now, while he still plans on continuing recording demo tapes for Ian, he works in advertising and...

Pros: Animation, believability, soundtrack, and casting.

Cons: Simplistic plot.

The Bottom Line: This movie delivers believable animation interacting with live film. Exceptionally done.

Review: My son has been bugging me to go see the Chipmunks Movie, which I have not yet seen a trailer for. I was caught a little off guard to see Jason Lee (My Name is Earl) pop up on the big screen at the beginning of the movie. Yes, Earl...er, I...

Pros: some funny moments, some cute moments

Cons: lots of filler, we have seen the story before, not funny enough

The Bottom Line: It is probably worth it to watch it as a family film, but it doesn't really hold its own long enough to be interesting to an adult audience.

Review: Alvin and The Chipmunks first hit it big back in 1983 as a cartoon that quickly turned in to a successful franchise in film and product sales. Animated entirely, the trio of Alvin, Simon, and Theodore had a huge fan base for a few years that...

Pros: This movie puts a smile on your child's face and laughed her voice.

Cons: None at the present time.

The Bottom Line: This movie is good for all ages, children and adults alike.

Review: Have you ever just sat around one afternoon and wondered where the time has went? Well, I have. After seeing this movie, it brought back memories from my good old days. I remember those times when I was sitting in a while listening to my stereo...

Pros: Very cute kids movie. Music and Choreography, and funny, funny, funny.

Cons: Silly.

The Bottom Line: A great family movie; kids will love it, parents can stand it for the first three screenings. Kids will LOVE it.

Review: Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) Directed by Tim Hill.

Alvin (Justin Long), Simon (Matthew Grey Gubler) and Theodore (Jesse McCartney) are three little chipmunks trying to get by in the world. Then their tree is harvested as a...

Pros: Good CGI; family fun

Cons: Worn out plot and humor

The Bottom Line: It's a fun way to kill 1.5 hours, but don't expect much. This update of Alvin and the Chipmunks just falls flat.

Review: My 11-year-old son has wanted to see this movie since the previews for it started rolling and he got his wish this weekend. My wife was hosting our seven-year-old daughter's Brownie troop for a cooking lesson (so they could earn another coveted...

Pros: Great family fun!

Cons: Nothing really.

The Bottom Line: I really liked Alvin and The Chipmunks. It's a great family movie for all ages and is pretty funny! If you like the Chipmunks you will like this movie.

Review: When I first heard that there was going to be an Alvin and The Chipmunks move I was excited! What's better than that? Alvin and The Chipmunks from my childhood was coming back in their own new movie! We didn't see it in the theater. We...

Pros: Fun filled family film.

Cons: None.

The Bottom Line: Come on! The Chipmunks? How can you go wrong?

Review: For many of us our childhood was filled with the memory of three little voices singing in beautiful high pitched harmony. Granted those voices were sped up singers whose altered versions were representing three loveable rodents, but to us it didn t...

Pros: the chipmunks

Cons: the chipmunks.

The Bottom Line: CGI animated cartoons in live action still look freaky.

Review: In the 1960 s the ability to speed up recordings to make them high pitch and squeaky created a popular fictional band called Alvin and the Chipmunks. Several records and some cartoon shorts were made in the 60 s, and the 80 s when I was a kid they...
