Synopsis: Based on the 1980s cartoon series about a music group of chipmunks comprised of mischievous group leader Alvin (Ross Bagdasarian Jr.); the tall and quiet Simon (Matthew Gray Gubler); and chubby, impressionable Theodore (Jesse McCartney). The three chipmunk brothers are adopted by a songwriter named Dave (Jason Lee) and with his help, the Chipmunks skyrocket to musical fame. However, in comes scheming greedy agent Ian (David Cross). He tries to lure the Chipmunks away from their concerned father figure, Dave, with the promise of fun, fortune and fame. Will they fall for Ian's villainous plans or stay loyal to trusty Dave? .
I feel that this movie is just ok, definitely not the best I have seen this month. There are attempts by the movie producers to make the chipmunks cute, but I guess it quite of back fired on them. The plot wise is of the standard Hollywood template, nothing spectacular or twists in the end. For about 10 minutes in the middle of the movie, it lost my attention to continue on watching. There is something good about the movie though: The Christmas song sang by the chipmunks in the movie is very nice and catchy, and that push up my rating for this movie by one! So if you are looking for a nice plot of movie to watch and not a song lover, it is best to give this movie a skip.

Rate: 3/5
