Mistakes

When Dave and Claire are having dinner together, the amount of white wine in Dave's glass is inconsistent during the scene. In the opening shots the glass is almost full, but when he picks it up to drink from it the level is much lower. Then when he puts it back down and the scene continues, the level differs during all the shots of dialogue between the two. See more...

Trivia

When Dave is looking for the chipmunks we see his house number is 1958. That was the year that the chipmunks were created. See more...

For a chipmunk who is so blind he cannot see a toaster waffle land right in front of him Simon, is really good about placing the bowl directly under the flow of cheese balls. He stops going back when the balls stop hitting his head, then looks up and precisely moves the bowl to catch the bulk of cheese balls coming down. [That's entirely possible. I'm blind as a bat but can see a consistent bright colored stream easily, whereas a small flying neutral colored object would easily be missed.]

In some scenes of the movie, Alvin plays guitar righty. Other times, he plays it lefty. You can see both scenes during the DVD main menu scene. [Many people play guitars with both hands.]

At the Orpheum finale, the chipmunks tear off their concert clothes, revealing them to be nude underneath. After that, they are captured by Ian and trapped in a cat carrier. Later, when they reunite with Dave, they are in their regular clothes. It's obvious that they didn't bring their regular clothes to the Orpheum and there's no way they could get them when they're trapped in a cat carrier or when they escaped. [They got the clothes from the pile of dolls that were next to them when they were put down.]
Edit
Around the very beginning, while the chipmunks are storing nuts, Alvin gets fed up and starts to stomp on the tree. The wood cutter is heard louder and louder and Theodore says, "You guys, I think he made it angry!" ('He', referring to Alvin.) However, he said 'guys', meaning he was talking to both of them, including Alvin. It wouldn't make sense if he had told Alvin, "I think he made it angry," referring to Alvin. [I've heard similar in actual conversation. Even so, this is a character mistake at most. Or perhaps he said, "You guys" to get their attention, then, in a split-second decision, decided he wanted to tell Theodore that he thinks Alvin made the tree angry. Either way, this isn't a movie mistake.]

Dave's friend Claire says she will come over at 7. When she arrives Alvin interferes and he stops near the clock where the time is 6.35. [So she said that she'd come over at 7pm, but was early. Well, gosh, that NEVER happens in real life, does it. Also, the clock may have been wrong, Dave is known as a bit of a slacker.]

When Dave sits down with the Chipmunks to 'teach' them the Christmas song, they know the words they've never seen before, sing as a carefully arranged choir, and the characters speak out of character suddenly; all just so the song we're hearing sounds (roughly) like the original. [They are looking at the sheet music, so obviously they would know the words. They have experience singing with each other, so they would not have any trouble being in tune with each other.]
