Alvin and the Chipmunks (DVD)

Need a de-stressor? Have the grandkids over for the weekend? Then this is the perfect solution.

The story definitely has the awwww factor. Aw, the poor chipmunks tree has been cut down. Aw, the mean man put them out in the rain. Aw, they are soooo cute sleeping under a small blanket on the chair, with little pillows under their tiny heads. Aw, look how sweet Theodore looks curled up around Dave’s shoulder, when he couldn’t get back to sleep because he had a nightmare.

Aw, the evil record executive Ian is making them work too hard, their little throats are sore. And he gave them coffee, loaded with sugar and chocolate. Everyone knows chipmunks can’t handle caffeine!

It’s no wonder the movie won the 2008 Blimp Award for Favorite Movie in the Kids Choice Awards, USA.

And the ending is a nice long awww when Dave resolves his commitment issues and rescues the trio and wins the woman.
