Hedge Your Bets: Watch This, LOL!

Rating: 7/10 (1 October 2006)

The plot is old as all get out, loner joins group or community to use their ability to achieve a goal and ends up adopting them long after they adopted him.
But it is what was done to make you forget that while watching! Bruce Willis even as a voice alone at his zany Moonlighting or Hudson Hawk best as RJ the raccoon-trickster with a bag of tricks to outdo any magician.
Garry Shandling as Verne the introverted turtle, Eugene Levy as a hedgehog and Avril Lavigne with William Shatner as possums...
The interaction was astute, while "Ant Bully" was also about exterminators, this one took the cake with the almost Mission Impossible like set-up! The digital animation was even better than Shrek 2, which is good, as Shrek 3 from the same DreamWorks is due soon - I know, as it wasn't that long ago that John Cleese was here in Barbados and told me he finished voicing his slot as the Frog King.
Nick Nolte reprised his villainous role from "Richman, Poorman" to play the villainous Vincent Bear to perfection! The movie is also a statement on the environment and how we encroach on it and how it can backfire - what was the bear doing with all of that processed food? It said: DON'T FEED THE BEARS, but as usual humans do what they wanna do, eh? Poor RJ may not have known about doughnuts if we learned to share with nature instead of trying to suborn it... Sigh, still? Great Picture! http://tinyurl.com/3464k/
