A L V I N ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Struggling songwriter Dave Seville (Jason Lee) opens his home to a talented trio of chipmunks named Alvin, Simon and Theodore, they become overnight music sensations. But when a greedy record producer (David Cross) tries to exploit the “boys”, Dave must use a little human ingenuity and a lot of ‘munk mischief to get his furry family back before it’s too late!Families come in many different shapes and sizes, but few humans consider rodents members of the family. Dave Seville (Jason Lee) is no exception, so when this flailing musician finds three young talking chipmunks gorging themselves in his kitchen cupboards, Dave is quick to question his sanity and then toss the offending chipmunks outside into the rain and restore order. When Dave hears the chipmunks singing outside his window, he realizes that that unusual trio might just be the world’s next vocal sensation and he strikes a bargain with them–the chipmunks can stay with him if they sing his songs. While chipmunks Alvin (Justin Long), Theodore (Jesse McCartney), and Simon (Matthew Gray Gubler) quickly begin to see Dave as a father figure, it’s strictly a business arrangement for Dave and he maintains an appropriate emotional distance. Dave’s frustration with the chipmunks mounts as they unwittingly wreak havoc on his personal life, but when Dave’s old friend and record label mogul Ian (David Cross) begins to exploit the chipmunks for personal gain, Dave suddenly realizes what an important part of his life, and indeed his family, the three chipmunks have become. Hilarity reins in this live action/CGI comedy with many memorable scenes–think chipmunks showering in the dishwasher, riding in remote control planes, and bouncing off the walls under the influence of a serious caffeine buzz. Catchy Chipmunks’ songs both new and old promise to lodge themselves in the minds of viewers long after the credits roll and even those none-too-enchanted with the premise of singing chipmunks can’t help but be entertained by this comical film.

Really Fox? This is the best you can manage? I’m pleased to see that DTS and 5.1 audio options are available on the Bluray disk, as of course is widescreen… but are you really telling EVERYONE in the world who doesn’t have a Blueray Player or a Playstation that you are simply going to release movies on regular DVD format without 5.1 and with 4:3 screen format? My Home Theatre is capable of providing perfectly good 16:9 and 5.1 and DTS without me going out and buying a Blueray player… I have hundreds of DVDs here which play perfectly well in 16:9 and with great surround sound… Why the crippled DVD Format release? I’m not opposed to having a 4:3 format DVD if there’s also a Widescreen version of the disk… but not offering a DVD based 16:9 is a serious mistake that needs to be stopped now before it becomes a trend!

I wonder why this movie is rated so well on Amazon but on a lot of other sites it isn’t?

I purchased this for my 3 year old grandson for Christmas. However, I did not realize it was a Blu-ray Disc. Neither my son or I have a Blu-ray Disc player so I really don’t have a review for the Disc itself, since I cannot play it. I just wanted to make other customers aware before they purchase one that it does require a Blu-ray Disc player, Blu-ray Disc Computer Driver or a Playstation 3. I guess we will need to wait until either my son or I purchase one to find out about the Disc. I did receive it in a timely manner though.
