After JETT Records buys it, the Chipmunks meet struggling songwriter and composer David Seville who had his latest song rejected by the company 's executive Ian Hawke, his old college roommate. Dave also once had a relationship with his next door neighbor, Claire Wilson. After interrupting Dave 's interview, the Chipmunks hop into a basket Dave stole from one of Ian 's coworkers and follow him home. Once there, Dave discovers the Chipmunks and kicks them out, only to hear them sing `` Only You ( And You Alone ) ''. He then makes a deal with them ; they sing the songs he writes, and he provides food and shelter for them. Unfortunately, when Dave tries to present the Chipmunks to Ian, they fail to sing to him on account of stage fright. The day gets worse as Dave is fired as the Chipmunks ruin his job presentation by having drawn on it. When Alvin tries to set the mood for Dave 's dinner with Claire, things become peculiar and she rejects Dave after he tells her about the Chipmunks. To make it up to Dave, the Chipmunks go to Ian in an attempt to get a record deal. Once the Chipmunks sing Dave 's song to Ian, Ian signs them to the label and calls Dave the next day. After a few singles, the Chipmunks are an international success. When Dave expresses concern for their well - being and insists that the Chipmunks are `` children '' who do not need so much craziness in their lives, Ian convinces the Chipmunks that Dave is holding them back. After a misunderstanding with Dave, they go live with Ian. They are enchanted with Ian at first, but once they set off on a nationwide coast - to - coast tour, he takes advantage of their naïvete, changing their image and working them constantly. Meanwhile, Dave misses the Chipmunks and he wishes they would come back home. He calls Ian and asks to talk to them but Ian refuses, and then conceals Dave 's motives from the boys, saying that he sent Dave tickets but that Dave sent them back. Later, the fact that the Chipmunks are becoming worn out is all over the news. Angered by what Ian has done to the three, Dave decides to take matters into his own hands by infiltrating their concert to reunite with them. On the night before the big concert that is to transition the coast - to - coast tour into a world tour, a vet explains to Ian that the Chipmunks ' voices have worn down due to exhaustion, and suggests that they take a long rest. Rather than cancel the concert and hand out refunds, Ian advises the Chipmunks to lip sync. With Claire 's help, Dave sneaks into the concert, but gets ejected by security. Seeing the commotion, the Chipmunks realize that they 've been tricked and, deciding that they have had enough of Ian, they stall the concert. Ian locks them in a cage and prepares to take them to the world tour. Dave tries to convince Ian to let the boys go but Ian refuses. Ian then leaves in his limo with the boys and Dave chases them but the boys have already escaped to Dave 's car. Dave immediately pulls over and admits that he loves them like his own family. Meanwhile, Ian looks in the cage and is shocked to see the boys have replaced themselves with international merchandising dolls. Later that night, the boys are fully accepted as part of the family, and they invite Claire over for dinner again. Alvin accidentally creates a short circuit after having difficulty opening a champagne bottle. Though Dave decides not to say his catchphrase, the short circuit causes a blackout in the kitchen. As a result, Dave can no longer prevent it and finally yells out his catchphrase, `` ALLLLVINNN ! ! '', to which Alvin responds with `` Okay ! ''. In a mid-credits scene, Ian ( now unemployed ) tries to make three squirrels sing, but fails. After this, a message is shown dedicating the film to the creator of the Chipmunks, Ross Bagdasarian, Sr., `` who was crazy enough to invent three singing chipmunks nearly fifty years ago ''.

The site 's critical consensus reads : `` Though cutely rendered, Alvin and the Chipmunks suffers from bland potty humor and a rehashed kids ' movie formula. '' On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from film critics, the film is considered to have `` generally unfavorable reviews '' with a rating score of 39 based on 23 reviews. Joe Leydon of Variety called the film a `` harmless and frequently humorous trifle that might be a potent B.O. performer, if only by default, during a holiday season surprisingly short on kidpics '' and noted that `` homevid prospects are huge '' ; the home video prediction later proved to be accurate. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times gave it two stars out of four, saying it is `` about as good as a movie with these characters can probably be... at some level, the movie may even be doing something satirical about rock stars and the hype machine. '' The critics for The Guardian and The Observer were split, with Philip French saying it is a `` film that kids will love and adults will find tolerable '' and Peter Bradshaw giving it one star out of five and calling it a `` thoroughly brain - dead semi-animated family comedy ''. Box office Alvin and the Chipmunks was released in North America on December 14, 2007. Despite negative reviews, the film grossed $44,307,417 in 3,475 theaters its opening weekend averaging to about $12,750 per venue, and placing second at the box office behind I Am Legend. According to Box Office Guru, the first weekend was twice as much as Fox originally expected. Its second weekend was $28,179,556, behind National Treasure : Book of Secrets and I Am Legend. On its third weekend, it surpassed I Am Legend for # 2 at the box office, but still ranked behind National Treasure : Book of Secrets. The film closed on Thursday June 5, 2008, making $217,326,974 domestically and $144,009,659 overseas for a total of $361,336,633 worldwide, making it a huge commercial success considering the film 's modest $60 million budget. The sustained box - office success of the film surprised 20th Century Fox ; Elizabeth Gabler of Fox 2000 told the Los Angeles Times `` I look at the numbers every day, and we just laugh. '' Given its budget, Alvin was far more profitable than either I Am Legend or National Treasure : Book of Secrets. According to MTV, it also became the highest - grossing talking animal / cartoon adaptation until its sequel. It is also 20th Century Fox 's highest - grossing film domestically to be released in 2007. Home media Alvin and the Chipmunks was released for DVD and Blu - ray on April 1, 2008.
