Alvin and the Chipmunks (DVD)

I consider Alvin and the Chipmunks to be a solid “family” film. It was not overly vulgar compared to other family films I’ve watched in the past, and the chipmunks were actually very adorable characters. Theodore in particular made quite an impression on my wife and I could hear her mouthing “awwww” practically everytime he appeared on screen.

The storyline was very basic and straight forward, and most children should understand the message behind it. This is definitely one of those feel good films which doesn’t require a complex plot to be enjoyable. I went really nostalgic when I heard some of the classic chipmunk tunes played, and was quite pleased with the chipmunks and their updated repertoire of music.

This would easily be a film I would allow my young nephews and nieces to watch alone without feeling worrisome and there are very few scenes if any that are objectionable for a family audience.
