A group of feisty forest critters awaken following the winter freeze to discover that not only has a new neighborhood cropped up during the cold months, but living in close proximity to humans may have its benefits in this computer-animated comedy-adventure for all ages featuring the voices of Bruce Willis, Garry Shandling, Steve Carell, Wanda Sykes, Avril Lavigne, Eugene Levy, and William Shatner.

The final showdown, in which the critters tangle with security-rigged lawn flamingos and garden gnomes, would have made Rube Goldberg proud.
An endearingly cheerful animated feature from DreamWorks.
Over The Hedge is cute without being cutesy, satirical without being too cynical, and just a whole lot of fun.
A raucous, funny and fresh look at the 3 C's: conservation, consumerism and consumption (of the excessive and conspicuous kind).
It is competent work and frequently amusing.
Inspired casting of voice actors is one of several pleasures in this fun film for children, which has enough social satire to satisfy adults as well.
Adventure, cute and cuddly animals, and some wit make for a wonderful experience!
A surprisingly very good animated adventure that relishes in simplicity, yet is really very entertaining.
Caffeine freak critters, duplicitous raccoons, a highly talented cast and Bill Shatner in overacting overdrive -- it's like coming out of hibernation and waking in an animator's playground.
The story is no grabber, and the sight gags are labored, but the animation is sleekly pretty, and it goes by painlessly enough.
Cute animated tale of animals invading the 'burbs.
I watched the film with very low expectations and was pleasantly surprised by its heart and its humor.
A clever and fun escape from the summer blahs.
A cookie-cutter money-spinner, finely tooled for maximum profit, but utterly lacking timeless charm.
The new Dreamworks CGI animated feature ignores much of the satire and tries to cram the rest into the usual kids movie format.
While this movie doesn't have the hip, adult vibe of the Shrek movies, it's a truly enjoyable family film with a great voice cast.

The real warm and fuzzy creatures are two wholesome families of opossums and porcupines. They also get my vote for the most amazing CGI quills and fur.
The film's messages -- pro-family, pro-ecology, anti-consumerism -- sometimes feel forced. But Hedge is genuinely and consistently funny, for both children and parents.
This funny film follows the foibles of foragers forced to find food in the suburbs.
As a film buff I certainly appreciated the obscure film references, but gosh, some of these are way dated
Another cute family film that my daughter and i had a good time with enjoying the fun.

OVUH THE HEDGEEEEE! A pretty entertaining movie but nowhere near the caliber of any Pixar movie or Dreamworks' greater efforts.
