A clan of critters rock the suburbs.

Rating: 7/10 (28 May 2006)

Animated fun for the whole family. A wealth of talent lending voices to some likable characters. R.J.(Bruce Willis)is a scoundrel racoon that proves to be quite the con-artist. He convinces a sensitive and reluctant turtle Verne(Gary Shandling)and his family of forest creatures into going over and through the hedge that separates a small forest homeland from a sprawling suburb. There is the promise of a bounty of food just for the taking...taken from the new neighbors, human neighbors. R.J. intending to exploit his new friends ends up rescuing them from Dwayne the Verminator(Thomas Haden Church).
An all-star cast of voices supplied by: William Shatner, Nick Nolte, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Allison Janney, Avril Lavigne, Steve Carell and Wanda Sykes. There is some crude humor, but nothing shocking. Ben Folds provides some light, whimsical tunes like "Family of Me" and "Rockin' the Suburbs".
