Jeff’s take

I don't really have much to say about this movie. It's one of those films that doesn't have a lot of faults so therefore, I really don't have an opinion of this movie. If I had to say anything at all, it would be that the chipmunks remind me of the same way I think of cats. I love it when mom's cat cuddles with me. The only fault I can really find for this movie is its predictability. I was able to figure out who ended up being the villain about ten minutes into this movie. That's pretty much all I have to say about this movie. I chose this movie out of the need to take a break from all of the horror movies I've been watching recently. It's been a while since I reviewed an actual kid's movie. I will say that the chipmunks are really cute in this movie. It was a nice change and I like the fact that it was easy to review. However, I will say that this movie is not a complete pass due to its predictability. Having said that, it was very well done. It could be admired by any age demographic. I really enjoyed this movie.

Jeff O meter final score: 9 out of 10
