David Seville: Nicely done, Theodore.
[reading the letter]
David Seville: To Dav… let’s see it says Merry Christmas, love Theodore and its got a nice picture of uh… some pineapples?
Theodore: Those aren’t pineapples, that’s our family!
Alvin and the Chipmunks is a perfect family classic. It has everything that grandparents to toddlers will enjoy (I mean who wouldn't like Theodore?).
This story is about 3 chipmunks who come into a young man's life and create havoc.
When the tree that 3 chipmunks- Alvin, Simon and Theodore are living in gets cut down, it's driven to Los Angeles. When in LA, the 3 chipmunks meet David Seville, a struggling songwriter whose latest song is rejected by the JETTS Records executive, Ian Hawke who had once been David's college roommate. When the chipmunks wind up at Dave's meeting, they decide to follow him home and hop into his basket. At home, Dave finds the chipmunks and is accidentally knocked unconscious. When Dave returns to his senses, he kicks them out of his house until he hears them singing "Only You(And You Alone)". Dave realizes they have singing talent and decides to make a deal with them. He writes the songs; they sing them and in return, he accepts to give them shelter and food. However, it doesn't go too well, as Dave has is job presentation ruined because of their colouring on it. To make it up to Dave, the chipmunks decide to go to Ian in an effort to record a song and get a record deal.
Once the chipmunks sing the song Dave wrote for Ian, Ian signs them to the label and rehires Dave on his job the very next day. After a few concerts, the chipmunks trio becomes wildly popular. When Dave expresses concern for their well-being and insists that the chipmunks are just "kids" and it isn't necessary for them to have so much craziness in their lives, Ian convinces the chipmunks that Dave is just holding them back. After this misunderstanding, the chipmunks decide to leave Dave and go live with "Uncle Ian". They look at Ian as a very nice person and when Ian sets off on a coast-to-coast tour and uses their naiveness as an advantage, changing their image and making them work constantly, that thought changes. Meanwhile, Dave misses the chipmunks and hopes they would come back home. Dave calls Ian and asks if he may speak to them but Ian refuses and then hides Dave's feelings from the boys.
Later, the chipmunks are worn out and it is all over the news. Outraged, by what Ian has been doing to the three, Dave makes a plan to take matters into his own hands by infiltrating their concert.
I found this movie hilarious! I would recommend this movie to anyone! When I first saw the cover of this movie, I didn't expect much but that changed when i watched just the first few scenes. I would give this movie a 10/10 as it has humour, drama and music. Although I watched this movie a few years ago, it is still one of my favourite movies ever. I encourage you to watch this movie as soon as you can as I am pretty sure you will get the same reaction as I first did.
