Alvin und die Chipmunks - Der Kinofilm

Die neuen Filme liegen auf der gleichen Wellenlänge wie Yogi Bär und Die Schlümpfe. Die neue Generation von Kindern schert sich also einen Dreck um die alten Wurzeln und konsumiert gierig und zufrieden nur das, was heute in Mode ist. Nicht mehr und auch nicht weniger. (12.04.2012)

Yes, I suffered. And unfortunately, there was no escape. It's a prototype of the American family spectacle designed for the broadest audience, hence the script is written and performed to match the taste of the typical mass viewer. If it had just stayed with the plush chipmunks, it would be somewhat kitschy, yet still tolerable as children's entertainment. However, the presence of busty actresses and sleek hunks clearly aimed at the adult accompaniment - who are presumed to have the taste and mental breadth of a five-year-old child - underscores the issues. This type of mass production is simply not for me. Overall impression: 15%. (01.04.2008)

Even though I had initial issues with Jason Lee, because of whom I wanted to see this movie - and I still had that issue upon second viewing - it always eventually grabs me, and I quite enjoy this singing trio. Moreover, Cameron Richardson also played in it, and I’ve just loved this actress ever since I saw her in House. (10.03.2015)
