Oy vey.
My sister purchased the soundtrack before we ever saw the movie. For about two days I was driven up the wall with those grating, squeaky little rodent voices...
And then came the movie, which was, I admit, TEN times better than the soundtrack...which is an odd thing for me to say, as all I ever listen to is orchestra soundtrack music...hey, ya gotta love those french horns.
Although the voices are slightly...(is irritating the right word...?)...annoying, the plot is passable as entertaining and attention keeping, and the overall message...good.
I guess this movie just wasn't my cup of tea, because my friend and I have the habit of skipping over many parts in movies and going right to the battle or fight scenes, and I fear that this movie has no epic battles, explosions, or fist fights.
My sister, however, enjoyed this movie very much, so I know kids will like it. It has no profanity, just hyper chipmunks.
This movie receives the O.A.M.R. of 2 stars.
