1/10
I tried to laugh. honest.
17 January 2010
But even the only 19 year old teenager in the audience who lowered his standards all the way down to watching this children's flick says this was a waste of time and film.

I recall seeing that theatre packed with children. of course, it was Saturday afternoon. But the sounds of laughing children were about as rare as a steak.

In other words, even the kids didn't like the movie.

So what goes on? The chipmunks hurt their owner while performing some van halen (rock on) in high pitched tones. so then they have to stay with their grandmother (who also gets hurt) so then they have to stay with toby, who's only care is video gaming. To curb their time, the chipmunks have to go to school. they find their place in school with the singing competition. if they fail, the school's music classes and club will no longer exist.

Meanwhile, the arsehole Ian wants vengeance. He finds it in the form of 3 girl chipmunks, called the chipettes. but the chipettes are perfect matches for the chipmunks. this is shown when they meet, along to the song "I wanna know what love is" (rock on).

The only memorable funny part at which i really didn't have to try to laugh at was when one of the chipmunks broke the TV with the Wii remote. That has become an internet sensation, when some idiot kid doesn't put on the remote strap and throws the remote into the TV.

If you hadn't guessed already, the soundtrack is the only good thing about the movie. but anyone can make a good soundtrack.

I recommend that you don't watch this movie....at all. Not even a rental.
