The Story
The story begins in a hill backdrop in a forest during the winter. Three singing chipmunks named Alvin (Justin Long), Simon (Matthew Gray Gubler) and Theodore (Jesse McCartney) are singing Daniel Powter's "Bad Day". Alvin complains about the food storage when he accidentally empties their stock. Alvin then complains about his own tough life to struggle for his survival and even called their tree a "stupid, stupid tree". Then the tree is chopped down (with the unfortunate trio on it). But while chopping, as the tree shakes, Theodore thinks that Alvin had made the tree angry. The tree is netted down to a truck and driven to a city in the process of becoming a Christmas tree. Meanwhile, struggling songwriter David "Dave" Seville, (Jason Lee) is late for his arrival at JETT Records. Dave submits his song to JETT records, but is rejected by executive Ian Hawke (David Cross), who says he hates Dave's latest song. The Chipmunks and the tree, turning into a Christmas tree, end up in the lobby of JETT records. The Chipmunks manage to escape the tree and get into Dave's car via a muffin basket he was carrying. When Dave gets home, he dumps the muffin basket in the garbage can and sets about throwing all his music equipment out the door. Dave hears the Chipmunks (Alvin, Simon and Theodore) go into his cabinet or pantry. The Chipmunks set about raiding his cupboards, while Dave watches television. When Dave discovers them, Theodore is caught eating while Alvin attacks Dave.
Alvin finally causes Dave to lose consciousness by dropping a glass jar onto his head. When Dave wakes up, he realizes that "squirrels" can talk, but Alvin corrects him that they're chipmunks. Dave then forces them to leave his house after they introduce themselves. Dave hears the Chipmunks singing "Only you" and brings them back into his house. Later, Dave makes a deal; if they sing his songs, they get to stay with him. Then Alvin reminds him about his music equipment outside, and he runs back to get them in order to make more music again, despite the terrible weather outside.
Dave puts them to bed in an armchair; whilst the Chipmunks sleep, their snores accumulate into a song, sparking Dave's inspiration. Having retrieved his musical equipment, he writes The Chipmunk Song. When Dave awakens the next morning, the Chipmunks are trying to catch waffles, but when Simon tries to catch it, it drops right in front of him and he doesn't see it. Dave holds up two fingers and Simon says Dave was holding up four. Realizing Simon is nearsighted, Dave finds a tiny pair of round-framed glasses from a decorative Santa and gives them to Simon. After he pushes them back towards his face, Simon can now see perfectly. The Chipmunks then sing Dave's song successfully.
Dave returns to JETT records and shows Ian his surprise, the three Chipmunks with his jingle in the background. Though the Chipmunks sang the song perfectly earlier, they get stage fright and refuse to sing, so Ian leaves. In the car ride back to Dave's house, they admit to Dave about their stage fright, and Dave sends them home. When Dave finally gets to his job, he begins presenting his advertising pitch about the "Goodable Energy Bar" commercial, but Simon calls him on the cell-phone because Alvin and Theodore are inside the vacuum cleaner, and Simon is thinking of making an indoor-swimming pool because he doesn't know how to turn off the sink faucet. Then, when Dave tries to clear his mind off the trouble, he discovers that the Chipmunks have drawn all over his presentation boards. Dave decides to clean out his office, as he knows that he is fired. He is furious when he gets home and is mad at Simon and Theodore while they are watching television. Theodore is scared because he cannot fix Dave's anger with numerous apologies. Dave finds Alvin taking a shower in the dishwasher, and when he talks firmly to the 3 Chipmunks, Theodore elbows onto the phone's answering machine button.
Dave is reminded by the message from the answering machine that he has a date with his crush, Claire Wilson (Cameron Richardson). Dave realizes that she'll be arriving at 7:00, so he quickly runs to the grocery store to buy the food, but he has a problem with the refrigerator because they have gathered up all the junk into it while cleaning up. Then, Alvin turns on the heater, plays the CD Player, breaks things, and tries to spy on Dave and Claire when they are having a dinner. When Dave admits that "My life is being sabotaged by talking Chipmunks.", Claire doesn't believe him and leaves, thinking he hasn't changed at all. Dave realizes that the plan is not successful, and he tries to put them in a box with waffles, a plastic water bottle, a blanket, and pencil holes in the box. He tries to write a letter of apology that he cannot keep them like this, but then he crumbles the letter up, and then throws it away, thinking that it is not a good idea. Then, he tries to find the Chipmunks (who had taken a cab to Ian's mansion), but he gives up his search and goes to sleep.
The Chipmunks attempt to make it up to him by going to Ian's mansion and singing Dave's Christmas song, to which Ian responds, "Welcome to Jett Records." While at the supermarket with the Chipmunks, he admits he is lacking in money, due to the Chipmunks piling waffles into his shopping cart. But at that point, his song appears on the store radio and Dave is rung up by Ian, who gives Dave the job.
On Christmas Eve, Theodore tells Dave that he had a nightmare and that he wants to sleep with him. Dave says, "Okay, sure, but stay on that side of the bed." The next morning, Alvin and Simon wake up Dave and Theodore and they exchange gifts. Simon gets Dave a paper clip compass that he made, Alvin gets Dave his own wallet, and Theodore gives Dave a moving card with Pineapple-like images of the four as a family, but Dave is firm that they are friends and nothing more. Dave gets the Chipmunks each a $100 savings bond, which they can spend in seven years, much to Alvin's displeasure. Suddenly, Ian bursts in (in his Santa Claus hat and carrying a bag stuffed with presents) and gives the Chipmunks lots of gifts, leading them to calling him Uncle Ian.
One week later, when the Chipmunks have their first concert (in which they sing "Witch Doctor"), they are further separated from Dave by Ian, who tells them that they could be amazing if they were with him and says that Dave calls them "rats" behind their backs. That night, Theodore discovers a letter from Dave he had written after his dinner disaster the other night, telling the Chipmunks to leave. Saddened, they decide to leave Dave and live with Ian.
The Chipmunks start their coast to coast tour, but before the next concert, Simon finds his old pair of glasses and switches them around with the pair that Ian gave him. Later, while Dave is shaving, he sees Julian Reynolds on the news, talking about how the Chipmunks are going to do their concert in Los Angeles. He decides that it is time to get the Chipmunks back and teach Ian a lesson in greed.
At the LA concert, a doctor says that they can't sing because their voices have given out. Ian, who refuses to hand out refunds, asks them to lip sync (which Simon calls "cheating"). The chipmunks are convinced that Dave really doesn't want them back when Ian tells them that Dave called and said that he is happy and doing great and that Dave didn't go to their concert because he's too busy. Dave manages to get in to see the Chipmunks (the security had been tipped off by Ian about him after Ian talked to Dave on the phone). The security grabs Dave and ignores his press pass that Claire provided, and Dave tries yelling for Alvin two times. The Chipmunks leave Ian with an exit that makes the crowd angry that they lip-synched. Dave then warns Ian that since the Chipmunks ruined the concert, word will soon get out, and their popularity will decline. Ian however, remains unfaded by this, stating that because they are talking Chipmunks, people will still come.
Security corners them and Ian locks the Chipmunks up in a cat carrier, placing them near the new dolls of them while he quickly gets ready to board the plane for the Chipmunks Paris concert. But Alvin convinces Simon to use his brain to think of a way out. Ian runs out with the cat carrier and starts to drive off. Dave sets after him, egged on by the real Chipmunks standing on the front passenger seat. Dave stops the car after realizing that the real Chipmunks were with him, after they easily unlocked the carrier. After admitting that they are a family, Dave lets the Chipmunks steer his car (Alvin), honk the horn (Theodore), and operate the window wipers (Simon). Later on, Ian looks into the carrier and is shocked to find the Chipmunk dolls instead of the Chipmunks.
Later, Claire arrives, and Dave and the Chipmunks have prepared toaster waffles and champagne. Alvin tries to get the cork out of the champagne bottle, but when he succeeds, the cork flies into a glass china set, and all the liquid pours out of the glass. Dave's patience is tested as he tries his best not to "say it". The liquid damages the power outlet which causes a blackout. Dave decides to "say it," and yells his name. Alvin responds with "Okay!"
The movie ends with Ian, now out of a job, unsuccessfully trying to get a new trio of squirrels to sing (who apparently refuse).
