Review of Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) by Jay H — 19 Dec 2011
A very awesome rendition of the classic cartoon characters. The plot revolves around the Chipmunk Christmas Song...and, they do that hit, and it makes them get huge. "Uncle Ian" turns out to be an ass, and is only looking out for his money.
Everyone thinks Dave is...nuts...when he tells them about the chipmunks...but, that passes when the chipmunks sneak out one night to Ian's place and sing for him. You could so tell who Justin Long was - he played Alvin.
..but, his unique jokes, and what has made him what he is, is played into Alvin. Jesse McCartney does Simon I think...and, the only way you can manage to tell that's him is the singing. Kinda hard to tell with any of the guys that play the 'munks, cause they have to talk slowlyyyy.
..and, then speed it up after. Not a bad movie - Jason lee was a little dry though, and coulda did a little better. Other than that though, the movie was flawless!
