Gallery: Alvin and the Chipmunks

The furry warblers - cocky Alvin, brainy Simon and goofy Theodore - get the CGI treatment in this familiar story of a pop sensation corrupted at the clutches of a cruel svengali (David Cross). The likeable Jason Lee plays the surrogate father who has to rescue the litte fellahs when they are put out on the road on a back-breaking global tour. One for anklebiters with a hankering for high-pitched pop parodies.
