The first film in the "Alvin and the Chipmunks" franchise is a fun story about how composer Dave Seville (Jason Lee) accidentally meets three talking chipmunks: Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. At first, they bring chaos into his life, but then they become family. Dave becomes their manager, and the chipmunks turn into stage stars with hits and concerts.
The film is full of humor: Alvin is the leader and troublemaker, Simon is the smart one, Theodore is the sweet-tooth. David Cross as Ian is the classic villain-manager. The musical numbers are covers of pop hits, the visuals are bright, and the message is: family is not blood, but support.
A rating of 6.3 on Kinopoisk is typical for a family comedy. For whom: children aged 5-12 and parents looking for light entertainment.
