Alvin: the next generation - Rating: 5/5
Me and my best friend, Roger,have loved the chipmunks ever sence we were little and now they star in a hit movie musical. the story is a little differant from what any of us were execting, but I liked that, it is more exiting than I ever expected.
athogh everyone (including me) was epecting this movie to just be a live-action virsion of the chipmunk cartons, the movie's diffarant moods gave it more exitment, Storys whare the charicors have to solve problems and sort stuff out are always more exiting than those that are just the same way all the way throgh, and sad, scary,and tence scenes make happy endings even more special.
My favorite part, thogh is the old clasic chipmunk song "Christmas, don't be late" any time they sing it, I sing along and dance to it! I also like when dave finnally relizes he really does love the chipmunks, and considers them family.
The ending, when the chipmunks are finnally reunited wirh Dave, and home agin is so sweet-and funny!
I think they should make a sequel to this movie with the chipletts(Girl chipmunks)in it, more songs and the old favorite chipmunk song "Christmas, don't be late" and another exiting story with lots of moods.
Never again.... - Rating: 1/5

.Alvin and the Chipmunks. - Rating: 3/5
I just watched this movie today and it was adorable. The characters were unique and the way that the real world blended with the chipmunks looked nice and not cheap.
It's a comedy and brings some laughs too! If you have kids then this is a perfect stocking stuffer or birthday present (if they haven't already seen it).
Dave, the father, yells at Alvin almost as much as he does in the old cartoon!! lol...
3.6 stars.
Chipmunks is great - Rating: 5/5
I recieved my order just as I was supposed to. Would deal with them again.
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang, Walla walla, bing bang - Rating: 4/5
"I Told The Witch Doctor You Didn't Love Me True
I Told The Witch Doctor You Didn't Love Me Nice"
("Witch Doctor")
Three CGI chipmunks carry this movie on their narrow little shoulders, and that's a very good thing, seeing that the plot is nothing special and neither are the performances of the human actors.
Unceremoniously expelled from their tree home, the chipmunks are having a very bad day, until they show their stuff to Dave (Jason Lee), a songwriter who's told to quit his day job.
What happens next is basically what you'd expect when you let three forest critters occupy your living space, as well as the inevitable series of misunderstandings that occur in mixed species family groups.
David Cross plays Ian Hawke, the hammy heavy. He's a music producer who sees dollar signs with each helium-inspired note, and has great plans for the talented trio which may or may not include dopey Dave.
The music will send adults down memory lane, with new Chipmunky versions of "Witch Doctor", "Funkytown", "Only You", and "The Chipmunk Song", and younger viewers will recognize Daniel Powter's "Bad Day". There are also some new funky songs and stylin' choreography.
Short Attention Span Summary (SASS):
1. CGI chipmunks sing and dance
2. Rest of movie is the same old song and dance
For children - rated 4 stars
For adults - rated 3 stars (one for each chipmunk)
Recommended as a stocking stuffer for children of all ages, and fans of the TV series.
"We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late."
