Though cutely rendered, Alvin and the Chipmunks suffers from bland potty humor and a rehashed kids' movie formula.

It's one of those movies where the wretched actors have to pretend to know what's going on as the CG effects take place beside and around them. They do their best. But it's Alvin and co that toddlers will appreciate. Dec 21, 2007 | Rating: 2/5

An endearing effort that will appeal to under-10s with its slight tale of the three all-talking, all-singing rodents. Dec 21, 2007 | Full Review…

Is it for kids? Adults? Marsupials? Martians? Who can tell. Jason Lee from My Name Is Earl stars - if that is the word - in this thoroughly brain-dead semi-animated family comedy. Dec 21, 2007 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

The musical numbers are initially appealing - think close harmonies and smart foot stepping to the likes of 'Funkytown' - but the novelty is likely to wear thin for adults when the 'munks get kitted out as a street boy band. Dec 20, 2007 | Rating: 2/6 | Full Review…

The animated chipmunks are just the right blend of realism and anthropomorphism. Their signature songs and rendition of "Funkytown" are fun, but their squeaky versions of current hits such as "Bad Day" are annoying, not charming. Aug 14, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Filled with cheap slapstick, annoying high-pitched singing, and a variety of fart gags, all of which amused my daughter but not me. Nov 19, 2008 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

This new movie nicely updates the chipmunks into the realm of CGI animation and seamlessly places them in the real world. Jun 20, 2008 | Full Review…
