Alvin and the Chipmunks

Pros: Same old story. Same old characters. Great family fun!
Cons: None for us!

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: Animation, believability, soundtrack, and casting.
Cons: Simplistic plot.

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 mean ...

Pros: some funny moments, some cute moments
Cons: lots of filler, we have seen the story before, not funny enough

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 even ...

Pros: This movie puts a smile on your child's face and laughed her voice.
Cons: None at the present time.

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. With ...

Pros: Great family fun!
Cons: Nothing really.

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: Love the chipmunks, family-friendly, good acting
Cons: Story could have been a little bit more involved

I thought this movie was definitely cute, and I love watching the chipmunks, but this wasn't as great to me as the original cartoons. Let me tell you a little bit about the movie. Plot Dave Seville is trying to make it as a songwriter but is ...

Pros: A good family movie for all ages.
Cons: None

PLOT “Here comes trouble!!” is right. Alvin, Simon, and Theodore are back wearing hoodies and “bring it” with a repertoire of hip-hop dance moves for another generation to love. Those furry critters of my childhood are featured in a live ...

Pros: It has a universal family appeal
Cons: Can't really think of any

Okay, I'm about to make a big admission here ... I remember the original Alvin and the Chipmunks from when I was a kid! Yes I used to sit and watch them on the television and I used to sing along with some of the songs. So when this came out in the ...

Pros: Funny, Jason Lee
Cons: Mediocre and predictable plot.

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 makes a ...

Pros: Good CGI; family fun
Cons: Worn out plot and humor

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 badge) so ...

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

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 Christmas tree and ...

Pros: the chipmunks
Cons: the chipmunks.

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 ...

Pros: Fun filled family film.
Cons: None.

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: Enjoyable for the whole family, upbeat music, and has a moral lesson.
Cons: Jason Lee wasn't my cup of tea.

Why we selected this movie It is very hard to find a movie that will keep a 42 year old women, a 17 year old girl, and a 12 year old boy entertained. We picked this movie because my son wanted to see it and his sister and I went along for the ...

Pros: Very very funny!
Cons: A few crude words

My family and I went to see this movie in the theatre, now let me explain that my 3 year old does not usually do well in movie theatre but he sat still through this entire movie. The only exception was to the two times where he got up to dance to the ...
