Does not seem worth seeing. As soon as I found out this was a live action movie I lost interest in it. It just does not appear to be that great of a new update of the chipmunks. I liked the cartoon and would not mind a new movie featuring them, but they should have stayed as cartoon characters.

a lot of live actions loose something, however I have to say right now that it sure beats the sounds of Underdog, the movie.

but with kids, good clean family viewing is hard to come by, while you may rate it a C, I think I will try to watch the trailer and make a decision for myself..

But thank you for a well written review.

Mooch

we went to the theatre at Christmas and took one look at the poster and concluded that it was not for us. The chipmunks looked too "jive" is that word even used anymore? I don't know why the film industry wants to take the old well loved creations and revamp them into completely different entities while still banking on the well earned reputation of the original.

Does it not occur to them that what made the chipmunks so lovable and endearing in the 1950s would still appeal to the youth of the 21st century?

I went to the official chipmunks website a month or so ago and really found the history of the characters and their creator quite interesting.
