Like some other reviewers, I was leery about renting this at first and I expected to hate it. Turns out that as much as I tried to, I DIDN'T hate it. In fact, I almost thought I was going to love it during the first few scenes featuring Dave. The experience he goes through in trying to pitch his new song actually made me feel sorry for him. Of course from that moment on, the film is fairly predictable. However I definitely didn't love this movie by any means. It bored me in some places and it was very far fetched at times. Okay, I realize that these are chipmunks and this scenario could never happen anyway, but the whole storyline moved way too fast. If the three "musicians" that Dave meets had been actual children (since he and other characters refer to the Chipmunks as his 'children' throughout the film), I think it would have been much more believable. Fairly clean with the occasional gross humor that seems to accompany every movie these days. So overall, not nearly as bad as I had expected, but since there are only five possible ratings, I had to give 3 stars instead of 2 1/2. Worth a watch for those who have been curious about this movie like I was, but don't expect it to live up to the hype.
