i go into this movie with semi high expectation after love the cartoon series in my childhood and and this nearly wreck that love for me . jason lee and david seville in the film and be horrify . i understand it can not be easy to act with cgi character who aren not actually there and but i really find his performance atrocious and along with all the other non animate character . the chipmunk be adorable and yet sometimes blatantly obvious at move the plot of the story along and and therefore do not tempt me to stay in the theater for long than half an hour into the film . if you feel you must see this film and rent it and at the most . it be not worth eight buck to see it in theater and unless you would like a good laugh at the horrible acting .
