Product Description

The manicured lawns and overstuffed garbage cans of suburbia become a buffet for woodland creatures in Over the Hedge. A self-centered raccoon named RJ (voiced by Bruce Willis, Die Hard) steals and accidentally destroys the hoard of an angry bear (Nick Nolte, 48 Hours), who gives the raccoon a week to replace it. RJ despairs--until he meets an odd gang of foragers, ranging from a turtle named Verne (Garry Shandling, The Larry Sanders Show), a father/daughter duo of opossums (the bizarre pairing of William Shatner and pop singer Avril Lavigne), a family of porcupines (with A Mighty Wind's Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara as the parents), and a hyperactive squirrel named Hammy (Steve Carell, The 40 Year Old Virgin). By convincing these friendly beasts that the suburban homesteads on the other side of a recently erected hedge are a mother-lode of cast-off food, RJ hopes to dupe them into doing his gathering. But when the suburban residents realize they've been invaded by woodland pests, an exterminator is called to take care of the problem. The overarching storyline of Over the Hedge is pure formula--your basic "family matters more than anything" lesson--but moment to moment, the movie is delightfully crisp and clever. The animation is topnotch, the acting is excellent (other voices include those of Allison Janney, The West Wing, and Thomas Haden Church, Sideways), and the satirical jabs at consumerism are actually funny. An above-average animated movie. --Bret Fetzer

Over The Hedge is a very funny movie that's great for kids and parents alike. The humour is no solely childish, yet appropriate for all ages. I definitely recommend buying it, or at least watching it. You won't regret it :)

This review is from: Over the Hedge (Widescreen) (DVD)
this film was hyped so much and heaped with praise.even a good
friend of mine told me it was hilarious.imagine my surprise in finding out it is not hilarious at all,barely even comical.there are a couple of "light chuckle" moments,but that's it.i know it is an animated movie and maybe i'm being too sensitive here(or,maybe i'm just out to lunch),but i actually think the movie is mean spirited in some parts. as an animated movie goes it is about average,certainly nothing more.as an animated comedy,it is lower than average.so,i'll give "Over the Hedge" 2/5
