Product Description Struggling songwriter Dave Seville (Jason Lee) opens his home to a talented trio of chipmunks named Alvin, Simon and Theodore, they quickly become overnight music sensations. But when a greedy record producer (David Cross) tries to exploit the musical ensemble, Dave must use a little human ingenuity--and a lot of 'munk mischief--to get his furry family back before it's too late! .com Families come in many different shapes and sizes, but few humans consider rodents members of the family. Dave Seville (Jason Lee) is no exception, so when this flailing musician finds three young talking chipmunks gorging themselves in his kitchen cupboards, Dave is quick to question his sanity and then toss the offending chipmunks outside into the rain and restore order. When Dave hears the chipmunks singing outside his window, he realizes that that unusual trio might just be the world's next vocal sensation and he strikes a bargain with them--the chipmunks can stay with him if they sing his songs. While chipmunks Alvin (Justin Long), Theodore (Jesse McCartney), and Simon (Matthew Gray Gubler) quickly begin to see Dave as a father figure, it's strictly a business arrangement for Dave and he maintains an appropriate emotional distance. Dave's frustration with the chipmunks mounts as they unwittingly wreak havoc on his personal life, but when Dave's old friend and record label mogul Ian (David Cross) begins to exploit the chipmunks for personal gain, Dave suddenly realizes what an important part of his life, and indeed his family, the three chipmunks have become. Hilarity reins in this live action/CGI comedy with many memorable scenes--think chipmunks showering in the dishwasher, riding in remote control planes, and bouncing off the walls under the influence of a serious caffeine buzz. Catchy Chipmunks' songs both new and old promise to lodge themselves in the minds of viewers long after the credits roll and even those none-too-enchanted with the premise of singing chipmunks can't help but be entertained by this comical film.

Love this movie and so do my kids.
Love this movie and so do my kids. This was my son's first favorite, as a toddler he would pick this show over and over... Right from the beginning\introduction, with the intro music\sound, it catches the eyes of toddlers right away.

I told you we did a little coloring.........
I recall my two youngest falling in love with these smart-aleck fuzzballs when they were children, in the 60's. I had purchased an LP (remember those?) of "Alvin and the Chipmunks" for them to listen to, and they practically wore it out! All these years later, comes this film, of the Fuzzy Rodentia that entertained them! I had never seen the cartoon, so the film is my introduction to them.Kids would have a blast with this film! It's combination of Animation and live action was done well, and the Chipmunks received an updating, to appeal to our modern youngsters. I realize the difficulties when meshing live action, to animation, and I give credit to Jason Lee, for his part in this film.I found a couple of situations in the film to be a bit over some children's heads, but nothing to take away from them enjoying this film. Some have found the "updating" of the Chipmunks' songs, misguided, or otherwise objectionable. I did not see this. The lyrics are the same, no?I wonder if Ross Bagdasarian had given thought to the longevity his creation would ultimately achieve? I'm personally glad that he brought his mischievous carpet bumps to such vivid life! Alvin, Simon and Theodore. May they live on for future generations to come!There is a history of the Chipmunks, as well as a music featurette, in the Special Features. I found the history of the Chipmunks to be informative, as well as entertaining.

Cute movie
I got my son onto Alvinand the Chipmunks through listening to LPs. He loves their songs so I thought I would let him watch these movies. I was impressed that he liked them since they are live action movies and not cartoons.

A Very Cute Movie!
Thia is by far the cutest movie i 've ever seen , and it's wonderful fun and enjoyment , from the three cute talking Chipmunks finding thier way into the life of of Dave Seville , and singing and dancing for him which is outrageously cute ,to the sly antics of" Uncle Ian" welcoming them to jett records and pulling a fast one on Dave. In the beginning Dave is reluctant to them to being in his house but eventually they grow on him and they become like family. i love every thing about this movie , from the sound of Dave's voice to the voice of the sweet, sweet cute talking chipmunks and the music is awesome , i especially love that song'" the witchdoctor" , in fact everyone in my house likes this movie so much that we all have our own copy , isent that something ? trust me this is one movie you dont wanna miss out on . it's great!

Great kids movie adults can like too!
I'm old enough to remember the first Chipmunk's comeback in the 70s with the Chipmunk Punk album, which I did own once upon a time on vinyl.Anyway, I got my kids into the Chipmunks a few years ago with some CDs so we could not wait to see this movie. We all enjoyed it immensely. Probably helped too that I also now a fan of Jason Lee as well.I get a big kick out of how all the money this movie has made at the box office confounds the critics who generally thought it was no good. Shows you how out of touch they are sometimes.

Product is as expected.
I somehow did not see that it was only a blu ray when purchasing. We don't have a blu ray player yet, but the disc and case were perfect and new.

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
