Even though he wasn't thrilled with the movie, Roger Ebert remarked - à la his review of the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie - that it was "about as good as a movie with these characters can probably be" and that it might've done "something satirical about rock stars and the hype machine." Either way, the movie helped reinvigorate interest in the characters. Can the chipmunks resist Ian's temptations, will Dave be able to rekindle his relationship with ex-girlfriend Claire, and most importantly, will Dave and the chipmunks learn the importance of family?Īlthough it was met with less than enthusiastic reviews, the first film was a surprise hit, taking in an impressive $359 million on a budget of merely $60 million. The Chipmunks become a smash pop group and Dave is not so down on his luck anymore, but their greedy record executive, Ian Hawke ( Arrested Development's David Cross), schemes to have the chipmunks all for himself by enticing them with expensive gifts.
