Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Dzhastin Let's get one thing straight, this is not a movie for adults. I don't understand all the negative reviews on this site objectively reviewing this movie as an adult. If you're old enough to log onto a computer and look up a review of this movie, you're too old to appreciate this movie and it wasn't meant for you. If you're considering watching this movie it's because you have kids to entertain, so lets look at it through their eyes, alright?I have three kids under 6 so I'll share their assessments. They've seen all 3 and enjoyed this one the most, by far. The first movie was probably the best by adult standards, but it had a lot of exposition explaining Dave's motivations and such that kids aren't particularly interested in. My kids won't sit through the whole thing unless I keep my finger ready over the fast forward button. The second movie was terrible, by both adult and children's standards. I hated it and my kids hated it for reasons that aren't worth getting in to here. This movie seems to hit the sweet spot for my kids. It starts off quickly to get their attention and keeps moving, but never feels frantic or our of control like some kids movies can. The gags and songs come frequently enough to keep the kids from losing attention but not too fast so they start getting wound up themselves. They mix it up too, alternating between slapstick, sentimentality, action and musical/dancing numbers with songs the kids know and love. A lot of children's movies have a "kids vs adults" theme that's played for laughs and the adults are total idiots and the kids wreak havoc for no reason other than creating chaos for chaos sake. Alvin is definitely a classic rebel and everybody's familiar with Dave yelling "Alvin!" In this movie Alvin is forced to be the "adult" and Dave learns that his "kids" can rise to the moment if he backs off and gives them the chance. It's a good message that's delivered sincerely, something that's a nice surprise in a movie that seems so frivolous. As far as the content, there's nothing really objectionable here for even small children, unless you're an especially humorless shut-in.

callanvass What will they think of next... Alvin and The Chipmunks: In Space? Somehow I wouldn't be surprised... I thought the first movie was really cute, and the second movie sucked major donkey balls. What about this one? It wasn't as bad as the second sequel, but it wasn't very good. The chipmunks are very obnoxious in this one, and lack the innocence that they had in the first two. It does have a couple of funny moments near the end, but that's really about it. Jason Lee's role is reduced significantly here. He wasn't that big of a focus in the second one either, and that trend continues here. His interactions & chemistry with the Chipmunks is what made the first movie so enjoyable. It just fell flat in this one. David Cross returns and his menacing act has gotten extremely stale. The Chipettes are more tolerable than the chipmunks in this one believe it or not. Spending 90 minutes with these guys has gotten to be rather tiresomeFinal Thoughts: Better than the second one, but that isn't saying much. It's a mediocre film. Time to put the kibosh on this series4/10

spuriafiore I'm a huge fan of the 80s Chipmunks, even though I didn't grow up with them and I got to know them with the 2007 live action movie. "Alvin and the Chipmunks" (1983-1990) is certainly a clever cartoons series and it doesn't treat children like idiots. The characters are also cool and adorable at the same time. However, this movie is pretty disappointing. I think there are three big problems that make this movie unbearable for adults to watch: 1) The human actors don't give a **** about the movie and their acting is really bored and they look annoyed and frustrated all the time. Plus, the first 20 minutes of the movie don't help either: the humans all act like clowns. 2) Alvin: in the 80 series he was a mischievous kid, but at the end of the day, he had a heart of gold. In this movie, he's an annoying rat that makes lame jokes and annoys everyone. 3) The story isn't really new or original and they should have given some character development to Zoe (the new character who lives in an island). She's evil and after a while, she becomes good... too cheesy.But there're also good things in the movie: Simon, Theodore and the Chipettes. They're nice and they do some funny things while they're stuck in the island. The songs are average, I really missed the day when the Chipmunks had their OWN original songs and they didn't only make covers.Don't watch this movie unless you're under 8 or you're a huge chipmunk fan.

alwayssmiilinu Hey, this movie may not be the best movie ever made, that is for sure, and some of the acting is a little blah, but, all in all, it is a movie FOR KIDS, it is NOT VIOLENT, and has some fun music in it. My 4yr old son love love loves this movie, and he finds the chipmunks funny and fun to watch, and that is really what matters! It is not a movie for adults or intellectual stimulation. Simple as that. So if you are looking for a movie to watch just for fun on a family movie night or that is only for your kids, then I would suggest it. Don't hate. Not all movies can be Award Winners! Try to just enjoy it for what it is, and smile your way through it. Your kids will love it. :) Isn't that what a kids movie is all about anyways?! :)
