Once there, they meet the frustrated songwriter David Seville, and despite a poor house wrecking first impression, they impress him with their singing talent. Seeing the opportunity for success, both human and chipmunks make a pact for them to sing his songs. While that ambition proves a frustrating struggle with the difficult trio, the dream does come true after all. However, that success presents its own trials as their unscrupulous record executive, Ian Hawke, plans to break up this family to exploit the boys. Can Dave and the Chipmunks discover what they really value amid the superficial glamor around them?

Though watching the CG took a little to get used to at first coming from the generation that watched the saturday morning cartoon, the film managed to capture the feel of the original. It wasn't terrible.
Better than it has any right to be, this live action take on the classic cartoon has amusing scenes, and some fun music. One question though - why put "name" actors in the roles of the chipmunks if you're going to alter the voices so much?
Decently funny, I have to say that Jason Lee does a hilarious job, and does the best 'ALVIN' yell I ever heard.

I would have liked this movie a lot more had Dave not been so extra angry at the beginning. He did redeem himself later on at the end, but he had already been introduced to me as an angry man from the beginning, so I was unable to forgive him so easily at the end....
