Synopsis

Based on the 1980s cartoon series about a music group of chipmunks comprised of mischievous group leader Alvin; tall and quiet Simon; and chubby, impressionable Theodore. Songwriter Dave Seville transforms singing chipmunks Alvin, Simon, and Theodore into pop sensations while the out-of-control trio lays waste to Dave's home, wreaks havoc with his career, and turns his once-orderly life upside down.

Critics' reviews

"[It] is about as good as a movie with these characters can probably be, and I am well aware that I am the wrong audience for this movie (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"A harmless and frequently humorous trifle."

Joe Leydon: Variety
"There's just not enough here for a movie. It's almost as if some ideas were meant to live for three and a half minutes each Christmas season, not to get stretched to the breaking point for 50 years."

Keith Phipps: AV Club
"Unfortunately, as rendered here by the average-looking CGI effects, the characters are underwhelming in their appeal, lacking the charm of their previous animated incarnations."

Frank Scheck: The Hollywood Reporter
"If karma exists, Alvin and the Chipmunks must be Lee's punishment for appearing in the likes of 'Jersey Girl.'"

Elizabeth Weitzman: New York Daily News
"This partially animated, charm-free atrocity is awful enough to instantly cure any remaining nostalgia for the rodent trio"

Lou Lumenick: New York Post
"Fun musical numbers and cartoonish humour give way to a bland sermon about the evils of the music industry (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"

Anna Smith: Empire
