This is no time for jokes everyone as April is already here, but perhaps the theme of this April Fool’s Day collection of DVDs really is quite fitting. Alvin and the Chipmunks have taken over with numerous releases this week from their old animated favorites to their newest live-action film. But if that isn’t your speed, then perhaps the first season of Becker or the last season of That ’70s Show are more your speed. Or perhaps you could go for my favorite pick this week and watch Johnny Depp’s masterful performance in Sweeney Todd. Sigh, if only Paulie Shore were in more films nowadays though. What? April Fool? No way, Son-In-Law rocks!
Now a live action feature, those lovable singing chipmunks are just looking to have a little fun. Their father Dave can’t help but realize how stressful it is to raise Theodore, Simon, and ALVVVVIIIINNNNN!
DVD Features: Trailers, “History Of The Munks” featurette, “Creating Chipmunk Music” featurette, “Chip-Chip-Hooray” featurette, and more
