Christina Applegate

Funny funny

I loved the first Alvin and the Chipmunks, so there was a little bit of a high standard. So, I went to this movie, not knowing what to expect. This movie won me over COMPLETELY from the first scene all the way through. After David Seville gets hurt backstage, they are left to be taken care of by their Aunt Jackie and his grandson, Toby. But, when she gets involved in an accident, Toby is left to take care of the Chipmunks. Also, they have to face school. Soon, they are involved in a talent show to help support the school's music program. Meanwhile, Ian Hawke is living in a basement due to his failure before. Then, he meets the Chipettes and plans to use them to get revenge on Alvin and the Chipmnks. He send the Chipettes to the same school Alvin & the Chipmunks go to. When they meet, it's love at first sight. I have been thinking about this movie since I saw it on Christmas Eve. This movie is the best movie I saw in the theaters all of 2009. It is amazing. This is a movie that kids should see and that adults should see with them. The Chipmunks are still charming as ever, especially Theodore. I even like how Theodore acts as the peacemaker between Alvin and Simon. The performances are great, the dialogue is funny and amazing, and the plot doesn't get tired. It knows what it wants to do and it is executed so beautifully. The only flaw I have about this movie is that there isa scene with a beaver that I truly think wasn't necessarily. But that's a minor complaint. This movie is a prime example of why I love children's movies. This is better than the first two Rugrats movies. This is pure good-hearted filmmaking at its best. Although, I don't think we need a third one, I will certainly check it out if they do make one.

That movie was very good

Well, slapstick comedy it is - completely gross jokes, but a good laugh that one can sit through. Nothing to remember at the end.

Print shirts with polyester suits... bad hair... jazz flute... misogyny. Plenty of reasons to dislike the 1970s, and a lot of reasons to enjoy the spoofs in this extremely light comedy. Christina Applegate is suprisingly fun to watch as the brave anchorwoman who battles the male-dominated newsroom in her climb up the career ladder.
