Over the Hedge Reviews

Lack of a decent plot or memorable characters starts to show around the hour mark.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

You'll soon be sick of digital furballs, but there's plenty of fun here - and Hammy is up there with Ice Age's Scrat in the pantheon of lunatic movie rodents.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

A film that's good looking, thoroughly engaging and very, very funny. Better still, it's a movie that will delight all age groups and not just the ankle biters.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

Manages to come up with a fun and simple premise, and then fills it with some enjoyable characters and a manic Looney Tunes style energy

It misses the mark a couple of times but in the main, it's good clean fun.

Anyone looking for lighthearted summer entertainment, suitable for the whole family, this is the place.

An energetic, funny and clever computer-animated movie, just the sort of movie you'd expect the makers of Shrek to come up with . . .

An endearingly cheerful animated feature from DreamWorks.

I walked into the movie with kind of low expectations (too many big names, not enough of an apparent premise, untested animation company), and walked out with a gigantic smile on my face and a desire to see it again.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5

Over the Hedge is a sly ride. It sizzles less with the winking nudging sentiment, and instead offers its audience the family movie goods: thrills, laughs and, of course, a message.

It is nothing short of amazing that a film that features every possible variant of junk food imaginable doesn't contain a single recognizable brand.

'...an uproarious animated flick for all ages ...'

Depicts a woodland war of insurgency against suburbia... until violent slapstick beats the promising premise into submission.
