Kiddie friendly fun - By: Graham Horsham, 26 Aug 2008 
This is exactly what you would expect of a "Chipmunk" film. Lots of hilarious slapstick humour, silly, but predictable storyline, plus the enigmatic, if somewhat over-egged Chipmunk voices.
Storyline, of this mixed real film & CGI, is basically of an aspiring songwriter, struggling to write any kind of song, which is where Alvin, Theodore & Simon come in. From there the hilarities start & the predictable plot unwinds.
Not really for "adults", but for all kids everywhere, this is a great film. We put it onin the car for the kids whilst we were driving on holiday, & there was blissful peace from the back, apart from the regular bouts of laughter.
Bad acting & Tedious - By: MJLivesImmortal, 23 Aug 2008 
Perhaps I shouldn't be as judgemental on a kids' film but this was awful! I like childrens' films usually like Disney & Pixar stuff but this was so bad. The acting is atrocious & (even though it is a kids' film & I accept that) very childish. The guy who plays Dave is not right for the role at all. It's utterly(!!!!!!!!!!!!) cringe-worthy when he does that 'Alllllllllllllllviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin' shout because it doesn't work with him.
1 star goes to the animation of the chipmunks & how they've been put into 'the real world', it's very well made. The film wasn't funny. It had its cute moments of course but overall this film was a huge let down. I hate that they chose that guy to play Dave. Wrong, just wrong! Euch, I really hate this film.
A Delightful Tale, and Great Music Too! - By: James Gallen, 15 Jul 2008 
"Alvin & the Chipmunks" is a delightful tale of three singing kids who happen to be chipmunks. Its entertaining story is woven into a commentary about the exploitation of child stars. Whether you are an original Chipmunks fan, like me, or a new one, like my daughter, the Chipmunks' music & a delightful story will be a treat for anyone.
Chiptastic!!! - By: G. Bruist, 02 Jun 2008 I was a huge fan of The Cipmunks as a child & I was worried that the film would be a real dissapointment. I was so wrong! This film is fantastic the chipmunks are so cute & funny. Jason Lee is perfect as Dave Seville & all of the classic songs are there. This is a funny, heartwarming & cool film, enjoy!
Strictly for Young Kids - By: Mr. Ross Maynard, 02 Jun 2008 
The furry cute & fun chipmunks should hold the attention of younger kids for the duration, but don't expect anyone over 10 to be anything but bored with this "by the numbers" film. There are a few entertaining segmentsin the first half of the film but the second half is predictable & tedious. The comedy has been copied from other films & the acting is unremarkable. How it gets to be a "headline" film I don't know - there is nothing new here, but, as I say, it should keep younger children quiet for a while.
