Best movie ever!

Absolutely Fantastic

I gotta say when I was really young Alvin and the chipmunks used to be my favourite live action movie and I used to enjoy it alot.I am presuming the hate is coming from people who grew up with the original alvin and the chipmunks.The music was good, the movie was funny and cute. Overall good movie if you want to get intrested in Alvin and the chipmunks.

"Alvin and the Chipmunks" is the first film from a movie franchise that is still running almost 10 years later. Unfortunately, quality is not the reason for that. I can't even be too mad at director Tim Hill here as the ones who are really to blame for this first film being mostly a failure are the three writers. It always baffles me how all of them can be so bad that they do not realize the mistakes of the others. At least, Ross Bagdasarian does not have to see this anymore. First of all, a few general notes about the film. It clearly aimed at younger audiences. There is no violence, no sexuality and basically nothing else that could scare them away from the film. The main villain is also not really evil in a psychological sense, just greedy and ruthless.One problem here is that there are no shades in the characters. they are either 100% good or bad and this always hurts a film. The movie relies a lot on the cuteness of the Chipmunks and even if they are cute, to me their unbearable voices made this almost painful to watch from time to time. And let us not forget: The core plot here is about the trio being great singers. But they are not. Not at all. I wish I could say there is a critical message about musicians having big careers with little talent because of their star factor, but nope. The Chipmunks are supposed to be seen as truly talented here.The good thing is that this weak film runs for under 90 minutes, so it is really not that long. The bad thing is that it still drags. For example, the romance story involving Cameron Richardson was so generic and not working at all. Badly written and the actress' lack of range is certainly not helping either, but in her favor admittedly not even Kate Winslet would have made this character work. I feel kinda sorry for her because it really destroyed her career. Lee as the title character is so-so, certainly has proved in the past that he is talented, but here he can not really show it. Same goes for David Cross. At least the character is somewhat fun in his over-the-top-ness.And finally a couple words about the title characters. It always confuses me that Alvin is one of the Chipmunks himself, so to me this is really "dave and the Chipmunks", but anyway.. the film did not have enough funny scenes for me to let me recommend it. The only one I found pretty entertaining was when the trio drank all that caffeine and they were jumping around like bounce balls afterward. But this is not an entertaining movie for 85 minutes and from a dramatic and emotional perspective in terms of the message on friendship for example, I cannot take it seriously at all. Not a good watch. Stay away.

The movie was terrible, I LOVED Alvin and the Chipmunks when I was little, I even sang along constantly to their music, and I was excited to hear that a movie was coming out, but Jason Lee RUINED this movie, he's SO god damn grating it's literally unbearable to watch. his "Alvinnnnnnnnnn!" scream is terrible, his acting is terrible (Literally the worst I've ever seen, Megan Fox is light-years ahead of this douche-bag) the only good *anything* he's ever been in, was My Name is Earl, and that's because he's "playing" a white trash character, and given his acting chops, I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out he is actually white trash. there is nothing redeemable about his "performance" and the sad part is, the rest of the movie isn't too bad, not great, but I'd give the non Jason Lee parts a 5.5-6. Hopefully Universal will reboot this franchise and actually find a good male lead, and do away with all the cheesiness, and "we're-gonna-pander-the-movie-to-three-year-olds-because-they- don't-know-what-a-decent-movie-is".

Alvin and the Chipmunks are way older than me, but I remember growing up with the cartoon in my childhood, and how much of a love/hate relationship I had with it. My first thoughts upon hearing about a Chipmunks movie was "Oh please god, let this be a joke." After sitting in front of my TV screen, I realized it's not a terrible family movie, but it has its problems.Yes, the chipmunks are CGI. I normally hate CGI, but I ignore it because it was the only way to make this movie work. The other thing I noticed was a bit of a social commentary on how big executives will try their hardest to milk a big star. Unfortunately, this is all ruined by too much in the way of pop culture references. POP CULTURE REFERENCES ARE NOT COMEDY!! The other problem with the humor is it's at times too crude.All problems aside, Alvin and the Chipmunks wasn't the worst thing I've ever sat through. There is much worse out there... MUCH worse...
