A review of "Over the Hedge" — 2 years ago
It was a pretty cute movie. I laughed out loud several times, but I thought some of the things were extreme (the bear saying “I’ll KILL YOU” was pretty creepy, the crazed homeowner lady was creepy, and other things). I hated the focus on junk food being so darn yummy, as it all looked really nasty to me. The portrait they painted of your average American was pretty dead-on, though. I didn’t really see a big message there, as the one that was intended for audiences (don’t lie, stick with your family) wasn’t really strong. Anyway, a cute movie.
