Absolutely the worst movie.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Seriously, i think this movie thinks normal cinema is drive by cinema, we have literally no begginning, and no end, it just sort of comes and goes, the story is bland, the characters are, of course, bland, and the music is, GUESS WHAT???, bland, this movie is like drinking soda, you drink, feel nothing, feel a stomach ache and them you forgot you drank soda2/10- Blandest movie of 2011

Hey, this movie may not be the best movie ever made, that is for sure, and some of the acting is a little blah, but, all in all, it is a movie FOR KIDS, it is NOT VIOLENT, and has some fun music in it. My 4yr old son love love loves this movie, and he finds the chipmunks funny and fun to watch, and that is really what matters! It is not a movie for adults or intellectual stimulation. Simple as that. So if you are looking for a movie to watch just for fun on a family movie night or that is only for your kids, then I would suggest it. Don't hate. Not all movies can be Award Winners! Try to just enjoy it for what it is, and smile your way through it. Your kids will love it. :) Isn't that what a kids movie is all about anyways?! :)

I saw this with my daughter as a dollar-movie special. It's terrible; it has some of the usual problems of many sequels, the CGI is not up to today's standards, and (surprise, surprise) the plot is lame and predictable. It could be even worse, hence the two-star rating, rather than one, but it's a real waste of effort. I had not seen the previous Alvin and the chipmunk movies, and I was a bit lost given that viewers were assumed to know not only the chipmunk characters but also some of the others. When the 'bad guy' from a previous movie was revealed, it was unclear to me why he was such a bad guy. It remained somewhat unclear even when he turned into one of the 'good guys' at the end. And if his switch wasn't abrupt enough, what about the change of heart shown by the girl who'd been searching for treasure? But even from the beginning the characters were unbelievable - from the moment at the very beginning when they were walking towards the ship and I kept wondering "what is he looking at?" Pathetic.

Both of my children were anxious for this movie to come out as they enjoyed the first two titles. I will warn that this would have qualified as a musical, there is so much singing. They didn't even want to finish watching the movie, the singing, ALL the time; they hated it. I watch a lot of different titles with them, over and over again because they like them enough. This is one movie I am grateful that they didn't like because honestly, there is no way I could sit through this movie again. If you liked the singing in the previous two movies and wished there was a LOT more of it, you may like this one.It's a shame, I think this movie was enough to turn them off of any future chipmunk movies if any more should come out.
