Do you hear that? That's this reviewer, trying not to tear out his own eyeballs, after having witnessed the cinematic travesty that is 20th Century Fox's Alvin and the Chipmunks.
It's a indifferently directed comedy, utterly devoid of laughs, derived from a script filled with every cinematic cliché known to screenwriting. It's rated PG for "some mild rude humour" but should have been rated SDoF for "severely devoid of funny."
What's It About?
David Seville (Jason Lee) is an aspiring songwriter who can't get a break. He hates his marketing job, he's still in love with his ex-girlfriend (Cameron Richardson) and a slimy record executive (David Cross) recently told him to give it up because he's . . . well, crap.
