Musical but mischievous chipmunks Alvin, Simon and Theodore wreak havoc in the life of songwriter Dave Seville (Antti Jaakola).

Critics Consensus

Though cutely rendered, Alvin and the Chipmunks suffers from bland potty humor and a rehashed kids' movie formula.

It's one of those movies where the wretched actors have to pretend to know what's going on as the CG effects take place beside and around them. They do their best. But it's Alvin and co that toddlers will appreciate.

Rated: 2/5

The animated chipmunks are just the right blend of realism and anthropomorphism. Their signature songs and rendition of "Funkytown" are fun, but their squeaky versions of current hits such as "Bad Day" are annoying, not charming.

Rated: 2.5/4

Filled with cheap slapstick, annoying high-pitched singing, and a variety of fart gags, all of which amused my daughter but not me.

Rated: 2/5

https://youtu.be/O_LLpeicB3k?si=brtRW38_EWL5HyrV ^^^check out my longer review^^^ The hip movie remake of the beloved 60's cartoon. And by hip I mean similar to your parents embarrassing you in front of your friends. And by beloved I mean it existed and was remembered by some studio exec.

It's ok, I guess. After all, I did grow up with this movie so I can't really hate it. Plus, David Cross was easily the best part of the movie because he plays a music producer named Ian Hawke and he just doesn't care about the role at all so he gives a really sarcastic, passive-aggressive preformance which just makes the movie 10 times better.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
