Jason Lee plays David Seville, the owner, manager and father of Alvin, Theodore and Simon, who are Chipmunks. Also the Chipettes, a three-girl singing group, comes along, as they were cruising to the International Music Awards. In the beginning, they arrive on a cruise ship setting sail for the high seas. As they run amuck on this ship, they get into all kinds of trouble. David is constantly telling them to behave.

Well as the Chipmunks try their hand at hand gliding, no one can hold them down, and the cord lets loose. As they land on a supposedly deserted island in Sicily, they try to survive by building fires to stay warm, eating whatever they can find and scouring the island for civilization.

As they encounter a strange and deranged woman named Zoe, played by Jenny Slate, they figure out that she is only using them to find treasure. After a volcano erupts, she forces them to go down into a cave to capture the gold she's be wanting for a long time.

This is a good movie for young children as they will smile with delight at the antics of these six chipmunks. The movie is directed by Mike Mitchell and lasts one hour and 27 minutes.

Scenes for the film were shot in Miami, Florida, Vancouver, Canada and in Oahu, Hawaii.

Justin Long is the voice of Alvin, Matthew Gray Gubler as Simon, Jesse McCarthy as Theodore and as the Chipettes, there is Amy Poehler as Eleanor, Anna Faris as Jeanette and Christina Applegate as Brittany.

Their squeaky little voices will get to you after a while, but if you want to get Chipmunked, this is the movie for you.
