Our Review...

The Chipmunks are great, we love them! This movie has laughs right from the start. When Dave is trying to get a head count of the Chipmunks and Chipettes to see if they are all there, they are running around and he can't get a good count so he says freeze and they all freeze. Dave notices Alvin is missing and all of a sudden Alvin slides down a rope and says he's already been on the ship and checked out the room and claimed dibs on the the bed by the window. I loved the part when the Chipettes go out dancing and one of them bump into a girl and they start arguing then they have a dance off. It's hilarious, and of course the Chipettes win. We love watching all the crazy stuff Alvin gets himself into. Another part we thought was good is when the guy dressed like a duck had a problem with Dave so he confronts him just to find out the man in the costume is Ian, the one that put the Chipmunks in cages and was a bad manager. When they get stranded on an island, Simon gets bit by a spider and all of sudden turns into this cool, fearless Chipmunk and Alvin has to start being the responsible one. It's interesting to see all the characters become someone different when they are trying to survive on their own.

The Blu-ray has so many special features it's going to take me a while to get through them all. But one of the things I loved is the "going overboard with the Chipmunks" It gives you a look at the how they came up with this movie and you get to hear and see old clips of the Chipmunks from when they first started. There's a munk music and dance machine that's pretty good. You can listen to all the songs in the movie and it plays the scene that song was in. There are some good songs in this movie. With all the special features you will have hours of entertainment.  This is a great movie for family night!
