Cute little animals... but plot sucked.

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.

This movie was awesome. The story was awesome. The way it begun and how it ended was funny and cute. The most cute characters were of course the three chipmunks. Alvin was all funky and groovy. Simon was the nerd - looking one. Theodore was cutest of all the chipmunks. I recommend you to watch this movie. I am telling, it was amazing.

Amber P gave it a6:
This was a cute movie. If you want to get the family together to watch a movie, I would recommend Alvin and The Chipmunks.

I loved this flick, it was a entertaining sight that can make any alvin and the chipmunks fan pop...you gotta love this classic, i give it 4 out of 5.

Ended up giving smiles to people's faces but relies on a very weak and predictable plot. Here you may find yourself not just foreseeing the plot but ALSO finishing the characters' dialogs.

THIS IS A GOOD MOVIE!

Linda W. gave it a9:
Totally enjoyable....watched with my two grandchildren and we were totally entertained. Sweet story of becoming a family and the importance of someone caring for you. Highly recommended.

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.

This movie was awful. Even my small children were smart enough to know that this was pure garbage and they went outside and played.

I'm getting' tired of the typical Hollywood storyline that was attached to a great movie idea, you know the drill, Dave takes his friends (chipmunks and women) for granted, then reconciles the situation with 10 minutes left in the movie. Also the "love interest" blond seems uppity. This movie is great for kids new to redundant Hollywood scripts, everyone else has seen it already, just without chipmunk "paint".

Jared B. gave it a9:
Okay, so this isn't the laugh-a-minute romp that the original cartoon series was. I still LOVED it. There were a couple of spots where the writers injected some crass, crude humor into the script. For example, there is a scene where one of the chipmunks farts in another character's face. If they would have left this out, my rating would definitely be a 10. However, despite this one flaw, this is still a fresh, funny update of one of the greatest cartoons to ever grace television sets. I highly recommend this film

Alvin still rules aftger 45 years! This new version captures the charm, humor and fun of these characters. Hoorah to Ross Bagadasarian Jr and Janice Karman for injecting new life into this iconic legend. 200 MILLION in box office can't be wrong! The updated songs are great and I dare anyone not to get misty eyed when Theodore get scared at night from nightmare and crawls into bed with Dave and cuddles around his neck......The best thing since "My Mother" song from "The Chipmunk Adventure"!!!!!!

This movie was cheap,lazily written, terrible graphics were tossed in and I gave it a 2 -a 2 for pity-if i was mean i would give it -46 but i can not rate it that bAd. SO DO NOT GET THE DVD

Alvin, Simon, and Theodore are all present and accounted for (just like in “The Chipmunk Song”), but not as you remember them. These crude computer generations should have been scrapped in the earliest stages of the film and replaced by the chipmunks as they appeared in their 1980s television series. Or better graphics (though no one makes a good cartoon anymore). There are a few laughs, but all of them cheap; neither the plot nor the human characters salvage the fate of “Alvin and the Chipmunks”.

Jay H. gave it a5:
It's certainly not a great film, but it's not that bad. There are some cute and funny moments. It's not a very original story, but still it's likable enough and harmless entertainment.

Erick H. gave it an8:
Surprisingly GOOD! Surpassed my expectations...The Three Chipmunks were irresistibly CUTE!!

Robin D. gave it an8:
Don't listen to the media critics mom and dad .Alvin and the Chipmunks is a fun, basically clean, void of super scare the heck out of the kids movie. The music is fun the chipmunks are lovable, so is Dave. The kids and I walk out of the theatre and went straight to the store to buy the dvd. It was a feel good movie for us.

Melissa D. gave it a10:
This movie is awesome.

It wasn't bad but it wasn't good ether.

I loved this movie i thought it was great!!!! most critics don't like it but i liked it and thought it was pretty funny!

Well this movie wasn't as god-awful as I expected it to be. The characters were two-demensional, the man playing dave (whom I can't recall the name) made me wince whenever he yelled "ALVIN". 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. But if you are looking for a spectacular, worldly-acclaimed children's movie that also reaches to a broader audience, try Ratatouille.

Very underrated family flick.

Heidi C. gave it a4:
Uh... chipmunks that start singing and become rockstars??? Ummm (cough cough) the storyline sucked but there were a few funny parts.

I am 7 years old and my daddy is writing this for me. I thought the movie was totally awesome. I loved Theodore, he is so cute. I think that if you are a kid you should go see this move. Hello, folks. This is Emily's Dad. I think you should drop the kids off in the theatre and go see No Country for Old Men. This movie is boring.

Mr Mallard gave it a10:
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. 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!"

Ashley Murillo gave it a10:
I loved Alvin and the Chipmunks. Theodore was my favorite he was so cute. I especially liked the singing and the squeaky voices of the chipmunks. It is a awesome movie for kids.

... Good god, I'm glad my ticket was pre-payed for. Awful, awful movie.

Evan P. gave it a0:
TERRIBLE MOVIE!!! I hated this whole thing no funny parts at all. not even little kids laughed in the theater. half the people left after the first half an hour. and the best parts are already shown in the commericails

Eunice T gave it a10:
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. It wasn't a primilarily funny movie, but at least the absense of frequent comedy doesn't glare too much at the audience. Bottom line: FABULOUS... :)

Jevanie M. gave it a10:
I don't know why the rating got so bad.but I think it was a great movie it's filled with great surprises and I love their songs.I hope they make a second movie.

vidMan gave it a4:
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.

"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.

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.

I am a mother of 3 and we all went to see it my 7 year old daugter, my 12 year old daugter, and my 15 year old son! my son was dreading going but he loved it! my whole family was laughing and even after the movie we were singing and laughing the whole way home! nothing makes me happier then to see my children laugh and this movie brought tears to my eyes i was so happy! I recommend seeing it iwith children of all ages! This movie is histarical and touching like a christmas movie should! It really warmed my heart up, and reminded me of good times i have had in the past christmas's!

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.

Most people would expect this movie to bomb badly. Thats not the case however. Alvin and the Chipmunks provides a funny witty experience the whole family can enjoy.

Brad B. gave it a9:
I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed this! GARFIELD sucked, so I definitely had low expectations. But this movie was actually really good!! Jason Lee is wrong in the lead role, but I still loved the movie.

Terry C. gave it a0:
Alvin chipmunks us into a daring entertaining surprise that is so dumb, it doesn't have any brain, and the heart is so soulless, I hate it, how can anyone love stupidity right from the get-go.
