CLIP DESCRIPTION: Dave () makes a very musical discovery about the chipmunks. FILM DESCRIPTION: Alvin, Simon, and Theodore are back in director Tim Hill's computer-animation/live-action hybrid following the further adventures of the world's most adorable singing trio. Songwriter Dave Seville (Jason Lee) has been struggling to gain recognition in the music industry for some time, and despite the fact that his former college roommate (David Cross) is now a high-profile powerbroker at Jett Records, Dave still can't manage to get a break. Things soon start to look up, however, when Dave discovers three singing chipmunks hiding out in the branches of a Christmas tree in Jett Records' world headquarters. Realizing that these woodland crooners cold prove to be his ticket to the big time, Dave does his best to transform Alvin (Justin Long), Simon (Matthew Gray Gubler), and Theodore (Jesse McCartney) into the next great pop sensation. As adorable and talented as they may be, though, these bouncy little critters aren't quite domesticated just yet; they still have a wild streak in them a mile wide, and it isn't long before Dave's life, home, and career are in utter chaos. But staying mad at such lovable little creatures is next to impossible, no matter what kind of mischief they might get into.

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Junior Novel by Jon Vitti. Menggemaskan, satu kata yang keluar dari benak saya setelah menonton film Alvin and the Chipmunks . Sayangnya, selain ketiga karakter animasi tupai yang dapat bernyanyi (Alvin, Simon, dan Theodore) , tidak ada yang spesial dari film ini. Penulis naskah Jon Vitti dan Will Mcrobb, tampaknya membuat plot cerita yang kurang mendalami setiap karakter disini. Memang, unsur drama komedi yang coba di bangun cukup menghibur, namun unsur hiburannya hanya memaksimalkan nyanyian dan kelakuan nakal dari ketiga tupai tersebut yang terkesan menggelikan. Secara umum, film ini terlihat mirip dengan Garfield (2004) produksi 20th Century Fox. Jason Lee yang berperan sebagai Dave Seville terlihat kaku dan tampak bodoh disini, sangat mirip dengan karakter Jon dalam Garfield. Lalu, ada wanita yang di dekati oleh Dave, bernama Claire (Cameron Richardson) , sangat tipikal dengan karakter Liz dalam Garfield. Hanya mungkin yang membedakan adalah profesi mereka. Liz adalah wartawan, sedangkan Claire dokter hewan, namun selebihnya tidak banyak berbeda. Terakhir, karakter antagonis dalam film ini adalah produser musik, Ian Hawk, yang dimainkan oleh David Cross. Lagi–lagi, tidak jauh berbeda dengan Happy Chapman dalam Garfield, yang sama–sama mengeksploitasi ‘bintangnya’ demi kepentingan bisnis semata. Kesamaan pada kedua film tersebut sebenarnya sah–sah saja, namun yang sangat disayangkan adalah kemampuan penyutradaraan dari Tim Hill seharusnya mampu lebih dimaksimalkan kemampuan akting para pemain. Walaupun secara keseluruhan pembawaan karakter semua pemain memang tidak buruk, tetapi jika seluruh pemain dapat tampil lebih total, maka hasilnya pasti akan berbeda. Teknik animasi yang digunakan untuk karakter Alvin, Simon, dan Theodore mampu dibilang berhasil, sayangnya visualisasi gambar disini sedikit kurang sempurna. Dialog–dialog ringan dan humor yang dimasukkan film ini dapat menambah unsur keceriaan. Hanya saja, yang ditampilkan hanya humor ringan, dan bukan humor cerdas seperti dalam beberapa adegan film Garfield. Positifnya, film Alvin and the Chipmunks memberi pesan moral, bahwa dalam hubungan sebuah keluarga, kesabaran dan pengertian sangat dibutuhkan untuk membina hubungan yang lebih baik lagi. Review: Call the exterminator on Chipmunks ‘Squeakuel’ Alvin the chipmunk is shown in a scene from "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Sqeakuel". Chipmunks Theodore, Alvin and Simon, from left, arrive for their first day in school in a scene from "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Sqeakuel." “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel” is a kids comedy that screams “Direct to DVD.” It doesn’t help that it screams that in high, squeaky, three-part harmony. Whatever slim charms there were in the nostalgic, musically cute and slapstick-friendly first film of chipmunk mania are squished right out of “The Squeakuel” like so much rodent roadkill. The cast is cut-rate and the script needed a serious visit from a serious gag writer. Apparently, Fox blew the budget on tunes. Songs from Beyoncé and Katy Perry to the Bee Gees and The Kinks are amusingly covered by competing bands of harmonizing forest fauna. Alvin, Simon and Theodore take a step back from fame to go to West Eastman High School, where they cope with bullies, girls, budget cuts to the school music program and Alvin’s (voiced by Justin Long) egomania. He’s all about fitting in with the jocks, ditching his nerdy brothers, slinging the slang. “BOO-yah! It is on like Donkey Kong!” They do it all without their “Dad,” David Seville (Jason Lee, wisely opting to do his few scenes in traction in a hospital room). So Dave’s irresponsible, video-game addict cousin Toby (Zachary Levi) is put in charge. There must be rules for playing the human straight man or woman in talking-critter movies. Rule one has to be “Don’t make the audience feel sorry for you for taking the part.” Whatever charms network executives saw in Levi (TV’s “Chuck” and “Less Than Perfect”), he hasn’t the charisma to fill even a small fraction of the big screen. He doesn’t try. Levi didn’t phone this in – he texted. A Destiny’s Child-inspired counter-group, – managed by the Chipmunks’ old agent-nemesis, Ian (David Cross) – shows up to shake their money makers, tempt the boys and sing “(Single Ladies) Put a Ring on It” and other recent girl-group hits. The film credits Anna Faris, Amy Poehler and Christina Applegate with doing their voices, but who can verify that? The script – Jon Vitti, Jonathan Abel and Glenn Berger will be deleting this from their resumes – has one laugh in it. One. If you don’t know what “Dutch Oven!” means in relation to flatulence, ask your kids.
