Over the Hedge, overall, a surprisingly good movie

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2006)

I went to see Over the Hedge with my family, which includes my parents who are in there 50s, my niece not quite 7 yet, me the teenager, my sister in her 30s, we all loved it. Over the Hedge is about a raccoon in trouble, and a group of foragers he tricks into helping him out. This is a movie the whole family will enjoy, definitely a laugh-out-loud comedy. Being the moody and hard to please teen that i am,i did not think that i would like this movie, but i love it. I was surprised by how good it was. My only objection is that the voice of the exterminator Dwayne (played by Thomas Haden Church)did not quite go w/ the character. He did the best he could, but the voice just wasn't quite what u'd expect, it needed to be a bit deeper, more menacing. Otherwise, it was a great movie, with a lot of laughs. Worth seeing in the movie theater, and definitely an "I must own it!"
