User reviews Review. Top review. Alvin and the Chipmunks was an okay live-action update on '50s cartoon characters. After a month of purposely deciding NOT to watch this movie, I finally decided to humor my friend and see this update on Ross Bagdasarian, Snr. There were pretty funny scenes when they surprised Dave in the beginning and a hilarious one when their manager, Ian David Cross , gave each of them a caffeinated iced drink to give them energy. Other than that, this was a mostly by-the-numbers story of the pressures of success and the toll it takes on your health.
In fact, the climatic scene when the rodent music group is revealed to be lip-syncing to their own vocals because of their now-hoarse voices seems aimed at those who go for such acts like Britney Spears and Ashlee Simpson instead of real musicians who play genuine music though I don't consider what David Seville-Jason Lee-had auditioned initially for Ian authentic either.
The music performances of the Chipmunks themselves are variable depending on whether you like any of the songs they sing here or the way their voices completely dominate though I admit liking their performance of "Only You", "Funkytown", and, of course, "The Chipmunk Song", and even the updated version of "Witch Doctor" though I prefer the original recordings.
Not bad for a reboot though for my money, I think I'd love to see the original version for television from the '50s, "The Alvin Show". What a treat to see the original album covers of The Chipmunks over the years during the end credits.
