Over the Hedge

Pros: Good voice cast. Cute, funny, entertaining movie.
Cons: Missing something. One main character really wasn’t that nice. Predictable.

Several new animated movies are released each year, some of which are much better than others. I still tend to enjoy most animated movies so I end up seeing most of the new animated movies at some point. I thought that Over the Hedge ...

Pros: Nice message, quite funny, great visuals...
Cons: ... story development was weak

Over The Hedge is another of the slew of computer animated movies to have come out recently. In it we have a family headed by the tortoise Verne (Garry Shandling) who only have 274 (or something like that) days to gather enough food to see them ...

Pros: very funny at times, well created characters with distinct personalities
Cons: no real surprises, not a great plot

Over The Hedge is one of DreamWorks Pictures latest releases, running in the same vein as films like Finding Nemo and Toy Story. This one takes the form of a group of animals waking up from hibernation to find a hedge has been erected on the edge ...

Pros: Keeps the kids quiet for 84 minutes
Cons: Mediocre script, dull characters, forgettable soundtrack

Memorial Day officially kicked off summer, and my first foray into the summer movie season was the DreamWorks animated feature, Over the Hedge. It's a slick little number with a sense of style and sass, and it's a satisfying 84 minutes of ...

Pros: Entertaining suburbia jokes, better than average voice acting
Cons: Boring soundtrack, just ok animation

I finally got to check out Over the Hedge at the local dollar theater tonight. Apart from the various poorly behaved children and the minute or two when the picture went out, I was generally pretty impressed. While this little Dreamworks film ...

Pros: lots of cute animals, decent message
Cons: crude humor, forgettable

I'm a sucker for animated animals, but I've been getting rather tired of all the computer-animated talking-critter movies that have come out lately, so when Over the Hedge hit theaters a couple years ago, I was interested but not rushing off to ...

Pros: Cute animated cast of hibernating forest animals; lots of fun and funny!
Cons: OK class, can you identify the (unethical/immoral) moral to this story?

From the moment RJ the Raccoon (voice by Bruce Willis) burglarizes Vincent the Bear's (the voice of Nick Nolte) cliff-side home to replace a bag of chips RJ had been unable to get from a vending machine, I began seeking ...

Pros: Cute, clean, innocent, funny, beautiful graphics
Cons: Adults may get bored quickly, lacks character and depth

This year appears to be kind of the dawn of massive wave of computer animated movies and "Over the Hedge" is one of the mega stars in the line-up. That's mostly determined by the hype and advertisement budget, but the preview sure looked funny enough for ...

Pros: cute, illustrates the negative side of housing development in and near wildlife habitat
Cons: preachy, thin story, flat characters, too many scenes are over the top

Too Cute I popped this DVD into the Playstation 2 (although I do own a DVD player, I never have hooked it up to the television set) prepared to enjoy an animated feature from DreamWorks, the same people who brought us Toy Story. My ...

Pros: Hilarious!
Cons: Way too funny for many people with long faces.

“Over The Hedge” is such a cool movie for 2006 that I would recommend it for not only viewing at a theater, preferably filled with kids, but for buying later as a DVD. Why a theater filled with kids? Because kids love this flic and you find ...

Pros: …
Cons: …

I like animated movies. The thing about seeing animated movies in the theater is that there tend to be a lot of little kids around, whining and screaming. To boot, it looks a little strange for a thirty-year-old guy to go willingly into a large room ...

Pros: Great Voice Cast, lots of fun.
Cons: None.

When an enterprising raccoon named RJ (Bruce Willis), runs afoul of a hibernating bear named Vincent (Nick Nolte), he is forced to replace a destroyed cache of food in order to avoid becoming a replacement menu item himself. Desperate to solve ...

Pros: Bruce Willis, Steve Carrell, songs from Ben Folds, core concept
Cons: dramatic moments slow down the pace, not nearly as funny as it should have been

Who has grown more fickle over the years, motion-picture studios demanding lower costs and ever higher returns or Wall Street analysts eagerly anticipating Pixar (pre-Cars) or Shrek-like numbers at the domestic box office nearly every single time a ...

Pros: Some fun characterization and gags
Cons: Terrible songs by Ben Folds; a nagging sense of predictability

After seeing Over the Hedge, the phrase "And yet" volleys back and forth in my mind like a ping-pong ball. The movie is painless enough, and I got more laughs out of it than I expected. And yet, I couldn't help noticing how it rips off other ...

Pros: Great plot and characterisation.
Cons: Humans are the enemy here.

The last 'animal' animation I watched was Madagascar, and while a lot of people liked that, I thought it tried too hard to be something for everyone and didn't really succeed all that well. So when I decided to watch Over the Hedge, I figured it would be ...
