Review – Over the Hedge

Eh, it’s cute. Bruce Willis is one of the few low points in this fuzzy little tale of a raccoon who has to replace a bear’s stash of junk food in less than a week, a task he can apparently only accomplish by duping a heterogeneous group of woodland creatures into helping him. And if you’ve got any experience at all with kids’ movies, you know exactly where the plot goes from there. The interaction between the animals and their new, suburban-sprawl environment provides plenty of physical comedy potential, and some of the supporting characters manage to be entertaining. Of course, any movie that takes a pro-environment, anti-homeowners’-association stance starts out on my good side. Mildly amusing
