I gave my eldest son Max (6) the choice of what to see at the cinema this weekend this is what he chose after we saw the trailer a few times, and I didn't mind one bit! Always happy to watch a kids film and in this case I remember the TV series from the early 80's so have a soft spot of Alvin, Simon and Theodore :) And it wasn't that bad! Although I'm the wrong target for this film it was fun to watch and the actual cast, in particular Jason Lee as Dave, did a decent job making their characters likable and understandable. Yes there's plenty of silliness and cheesiness but accept that it's a kids film and it's all the more enjoyable, indeed there were several scenes that had everyone in the cinema laughing. Being the Chipmunks, there's plenty of songs throughout the film and you can't help but smile and enjoy them, they're very well done.
Max loved it (giving it a 9.5/10) and that's what the film is about so it's done its job, I'd happily watch it with my kids again as it's easy watching with some catchy tunes thrown in for good measure. If you've got little ones then it's certainly worth seeing, well actually there were a few adults in the cinema without kids so
