It’s 9am on a Saturday, and I’m off to a screening of Alvin and the Chipmunks...

Hoards of kiddies turn out for

who I am
I'm MaryAnn Johanson: writer and ponderer in New York City who drinks too much wine and thinks way too much about such inconsequences as movies, TV, books, and the meaning of life.

The movie's actually kinda cute.
This haiku was sounding like a parody of a Billy Joel song:
It's 9 o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd scampers in
The young kid sittin' next to me
Makin' love to a big popcorn bin...

I actually thought of that when I read the entry too. I would have mentioned that as well, but I was too busy misspelling "may". =-P
I think I'll take your word on it being kind of cute. Not that I care in a "Oh noes, they rapin' mah childhood!" way, I just think it looks really, really awful. And there are like 3 or 4 movies that actually look good that I'd like to see out right now, so..

There are certainly many, many movies you should see before you see *Alvin and the Chipmunks.* But if you need something unobjectionable for kids, well, see *Enchanted.* Then see this.
