Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

yeelir Alvin and the Chipmunks is one of the most well made movies of all I loved it. To start us off Alvin and the Chipmunks has amazing CGI, the chipmunks look amazingly and spectacularly realistic. Another thing is Jason Lees performance. Jason Lee should of won best actor for Alvin and the Chipmunks. Jason lee delivers an Oscar worthy, wonderful , and dramatic performance for Alvin and the Chipmunks. The filmmaking is also great. This well directed thriller should of been more successful in box office. Another thing that surprises me is that the film didn't win Best Picture in fact the film didn't even go nominated. The films screenplay and dialogue is also amazing it should of won an Oscar for the screenplay. I still can't get over the fact of how great this movie is. Alvin and the Chipmunks is incredibly well constructed and directed and all around a great nay PERFECT film that is most definitely Oscar worthy and even better than The Shawshank Redemption. Alvin and the Chipmunks should get 11/10 and an A+. (im an idiot0

OllieSuave-007 Just like the cartoon, this is an adorable movie about chipmunks Alvin, Simon and Theodore, who meets frustrated songwriter David Seville (Jason Lee). Together, they set out fame as singers, hoping to make a positive impact in their lives. However, the unscrupulous record executive, Ian Hawke (David Cross), wants to exploit the Chipmunks, directly breaking up the family in the process.The movie does pick up the pace at first when the chipmunks first appear on screen and runs into Seville, ending up being his house mates. The chipmunks' singing were pretty fun to listen to; however, the story's pace looses steam somewhere in the middle, where the chipmunks lose their spunk and let the fame get the best of them. The story basically dragged on from there.The voice actors who played the chipmunks did a fine job, but Jason Lee wasn't very good as Seville and clearly wasn't right for the role. I would have liked to see him show more emotion and surprised expressions when he first spots three singing chipmunks (it's not everyday you see three, tiny singing critters). Unfortunately, he showed a disinterest in the role and lacked substance overall.This movie has its fun moments, mostly in the beginning, but not a terribly great movie overall. I'll watch this once, and then find something else to spend other Saturday nights with.Grade C-

bumblebritches57 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".

kosmasp I wasn't that aware of the Chipmunks, but they do seem to have a following. And you can see their appeal to a younger (=kids) audience. They are cute and they can talk. What else do you need for a successful kids movie? Of course the story as it is, is not anything new or great or anything else.As an adult you have to make sure, to try to think as little as possible. A world where Chipmunks exists (an adult world that is) wouldn't look anything like this kids version of it. But you can't blame the movie for that. It's our cynical (realistic?) view that might spoil it for us. Still not the best kids entertainment, it will occupy and satisfy every need the little ones have.
