Movie: Alvin and The Chipmunks

Now, I simply could not believe it. I just watched my third movie in 1 week. I wonder why my mum and dad were so free to bring me to watch so many movies. Tonight, we watched ‘Alvin and The Chipmunks‘. This movie is based on the singing chipmunk characters created by Ross Bagdasarian Sr in 1958. This movie uses the digital technology to give the chipmunks much more ‘kick’ and yet retained their lovable characters which we know and love so much.
This movie was about three chipmunks Alvin, Simon and Theodore who got themselves transplanted from the jungle into the city and they ended up in the house of a rejected song composer, David Seville (Jason Lee). In David’s house, the created a big mess, caused him to loose his job and spoilt his dinner date with his girlfriend.
Somehow, David discovered their musical talents and brought them his friend Ian Hawk (David Cross), who is a recording agent. Ian tricked the chipmunks to leave David and joined him. He promised the chipmunks fame and wealth. He eventually stressed out the chipmunks with too many shows.
As in every fairy tale, the ending is always sweet. The chipmunks eventually team up with David again.
