Product Description Meet the Chipmunks Justin Long as Alvin Matthew Gray Gubler as Simon Jesse McCartney as Theodore Beyond Alvin and the Chipmunks More from Jason Lee Alvin and the Chipmunks Music More Kids & Family titles Stills from Alvin and the Chipmunks .co.uk Review A staggering surprise success at the box office just before Christmas 2007, the reason for the popularity of Alvin and the Chipmunks soon becomes clear. Not only is it a new adventure for a popular set of characters of old, its also a fun, breezy family movie, that the kids in particular will enjoy. Starring Jason Lee (of My Name Is Earl fame), Alvin and the Chipmunks mixes in live action and CGI chipmunks (Alvin, Simon and Theodore) in a story that sees that moved from their natural habitat into the midst of the big city. The plot then becomes as predictable as youd expect, but theres still plenty of fun to be had anyway. For Alvin and the Chipmunks has plenty in its corner. Its funny, first and foremost, and moves along at a good pace, never forgetting that its prime job is to entertain its audience. And thats something it easily manages to do, wrapping everything up by remembering not to outstay its welcome, either. Considering that Alvin and the Chipmunks enjoy a legion of fans that stretch back decades, its perhaps not a surprise after all that the film enjoyed the success it did. But whats pleasing is that the spirit of the source material, in spite of its contemporary setting, is adhered to, and theres fun for all in the end product. --Jon Foster

Family fun and entertainment
When I ordered this movie, I wasn't sure what to expect. The reviews on Amazon were good, but generally the film had been panned by critics as one of the worst films of 2007, despite it's major financial success. Bah, just shows how much the critics know!I finally got the chance to see this film the other night, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!Fun, cute, inoffensive and pure family entertainment. (OK, a couple of bathroom jokes, but they were not taken to any extremes)There was humour where it applied in the movie, but also some moments of emotion - such as when Theodore had a nightmare and Dave let him stay with him for the night.To be honest, the only problem I might have with the movie is that the "boys" were sometimes hard to understand with their squeaky voices... still, the actors enunciated their lines pretty well, so generally this wasn't a problem.Anyway, long and short of it is that this movie is unjustly underrated and definitely worth the watch.

AAAAAAAALLLLLLLVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNN
Oh my god, this is the best version of the chipmunks' adoption story.Like in the cartoon, Dave is struggling to write a hit song and the boys areliving in the wild. When they meet, it's a little rocky at first.And when Dave expresses concern at "Where are your parents?", Simon and Alvin reassure him after chipmunks are a week born your parents leave you to fend for yourself. And, basically by testing their limits Alvin, Simon and Theo are helpingDave learn how to love unconditionally. The funny part was when Alvin is taking a shower in the dishwasher and says "Uh I'm waiting for the rinse cycle." LOL

My sons obsession commences
Hi AllJust to say we bought these DVD's the wrong way around and my 3 and a half year old son had the sequel first (Alvin and the chipmunks 2). I wasnt sure how he would react to this, but he loved every minute and would watch this DVD every day if he could.

Love the Chipmunks
When my daughter was young, she used to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks cartoon and loved it. My son however has never been privvy to a screening of Alvin in cartoon form, so when the film came out on DVD i got it for him. This is a brilliant piece of escapism for young and old alike, younger children will love repeat performances-fabulous.V.Potts
