Als Kind habe ich die Zeichentrickserie von Alvin und die Chipmunks geliebt um den Animations-/Realfilmmix habe ich nach den schlechten Erfahrungen mit ähnlichen Filmen biser einen Bogen gemacht. Zu Unrech! Natürlich ist Alvin und die Chipmunks kein Meisterwerk. Natürlich präsentiert der Film keine komplexe Story. Und dennoch hat der Film mir Spaß gemacht. Die animierten Chipmunks fügen sich gut in den Film ein und „Earl“ Jason Lee weiß prima mit ihren zu agieren. Wenn die Chipmunks Chaos in der Wohnung von Lees Filmfigur Dave stiften oder ihren ersten großen Auftritt haben, dann schwingt natürlich ein Stück Kindheitserinnerung mit, aber ein Stück Kindheitserinnerung, die mit diesem Film angemessen in die Neuzeit transportiert wurde. Alvin und die Chipmunks ist somit seichte Unterhaltung, wenn es einfach mal ein relaxter Couchtag werden soll. [Sneakfilm.de]

Love this movie. Kind of funny and cute to see these little hairy beasts singing pop songs. At least the songs weren't bad.

Alvin and the Chipmunks is a nice, family friendly movie about finding a place and your family in life, development of care and empathy for each other and many of the usual US comedy tropes. While the movie in itself is nothing crazy special, I consider it to be quite cutely done. The three Chipmunks look and are animated very nicely and while, like the original story of them, requires quite some suspension of disbelieve on how the world simply accepts talking rodents, they make for a really cute movie. The familiar care of the three brothers is cute, their singing and dancing is well-animated and the fur detail is really nice. Knowing the 1986 cartoon it was unusual to see Dave so "cold" towards them, but that only allowed the movie to show more of the very beginning of how their relationship grows. The one thing I was not a fan of was the temporarily tried-for romance between the human characters, but this luckily didn't have a big place. It was a good start into the franchise, I like it. Family values, becoming a family, and how children need and deserve to "just be children". <3
