Mom in the City

Alvin, Simon and Theodore are back!!! Perhaps you are like me and loved them when you were a kid. I felt like a kid all over again watching this movie. The chipmunks lose their home to loggers and end up in LA where they run into David Seville, a struggling musician/songwriter. After causing complete havoc in Dave’s home, they get booted to the street, but win him over with their lovable and catchy songs. Dave sees dollar signs all over their singing ability and brings them to his producer, Ian. After their career takes off, Dave begins to realize what is truly important: the stability of this new family and the chipmunks’ well being. You would never believe that in this hilarious ride some really amazing lessons are taught. Not only did my kids laugh the whole time, they also learned the importance of limits, of listening and of love. This is one of the few movies I love to watch over and over again with my kids. There is some mild rude humor, but over all it is a big winner in my family.
