Synopsis:
Three chipmunks, Alvin, Simon and Theodore, watch as their home is chopped down by a Christmas tree company. With the boys still inside, the tree is shipped off to the lobby of the prestigious Jett Records, helmed by a slick and conniving record executive named Ian Hawk (David Cross), in downtown Los Angeles. Ian is a former college roommate of Dave Seville (Jason Lee), a down-on-his-luck musician and songwriter who has never given up hope for making a successful career out of his quirky musical sensibilities.

When Dave goes to Jett Records to pitch Ian a new song, he is rudely booted out of the offices. Taking a basket of muffins as consolation, he wanders past the Christmas tree being installed in the lobby. The Chipmunks, smelling the tasty muffins, jump in the basket unbeknownst to Dave, who unwittingly carts them back to his apartment where the Chipmunks secretly install themselves quite comfortably.

Before you can say, “Alvinnnnn!!!” the ‘Munks run amuck, turning their new digs into a disaster area. The boys’ home-wrecking antics include storing toaster waffles under the carpet (put aside for the winter, the ‘Munks explain), and leaving some mysterious dark, round objects strewn about (Simon insists they’re…raisins). Shocked at what the boys have done to his apartment, Dave is even more astounded when he discovers that not only can these rodents talk, they can sing.

Despite his misgivings about his new tenants, Dave seizes the opportunity to put together his songwriting skills with the ‘Munks unique talents.

I really enjoyed this movie, it’s really funny. Alvin, Simon and Theodore so cute, kawaii. The storyline not dragging and the music really entertained. It’s really makes me laugh when Alvin tried to help Dave but actually Alvin messed up all Dave’s plan. I enjoyed while listening the songs, I don’t realized that they brought me to my childhood when I always watching them in television.

Just finished watching this series and i really like it. The chemistry between Fukuyama dan Kou really goods. The progress of development chemistry between them really funny and good. You can understood why sometimes Utsumi feel desperated with Yukawa. She had give all of her effort to draw Yukawa’s attention even though Yukawa’s assistant always tried to prevent Yukawa for not to involved with the case but she didn’t get up, she always find a way to draw Yukawa’s attention. It’s had lot of funny moments. How Yukawa’s solved the case really interesting because he always write the formula at anywhere when he got an idea to solved the case.

Yeap, this series is year 2006 production and I know that too late for watched it. But for me it not a problem and I don’t mind it. Overall, I enjoyed watching this series. When I watched this series, I remember that maybe my mom would likes this series and really want to give this series to her. I likes the musics and the songs in this series even though the musics and the songs are the oldies one but I really likes it. Actually, this series really entertainted, it had funny moments but don’t forget with the touching moments too. It brings laugh and miserable’s feeling. The actors and actress plays they role with very well because you can likes one and hates the other one and sometimes you want to slap or poke the annoying one :p The progress of development characters went well too.
