Oh dear Dreamworks.

Rating: 5/10 (31 July 2006)

Rating: U Main Cast: Bruse Willis, Garry Shandling, Steve Carell, Thomas Haden-Church Director: Tim Johnson
The good: great animation, Hammy the squirrel
The bad: boring story, too many times it tries to be funny and fails miserably, Avril Lavine is AWFUL!
Quick Summary: Well, I loved Shrek, Shrek 2 was decent, Madagascar was saved by the brilliant penguins and lemurs. So overall Dreamworks animation films haven't been that bad but never up tom scratch with Pixar (other than the abysmally disappointing Cars). Over The Hedge is really no Shrek at all, its a kids film. Not a kids film where adults can enjoy some more adult themed joke, its just a kids film. Relying on crappy slapstick. Avil Lavine is really quite appalling and on so many occasions I was thinking in my head 'thats just not funny'. Its saving grace is Hammy the Squirrel, Steve Carell is excellent as the hyperactive squirrel who is also (like everything it has to be said) animated brilliantly. However, this film isn't really worth seeing unless you have nothing to do on a Saturday night, but only when its on the TV!
