The story has a loony, slapstick verve, and the star-studded voice work is uniformly entertaining.

If Over the Hedge aims solely to entertain, it does so in a way that's mildly amusing but mostly hackneyed. If it aims to instruct, it weakens its own argument with the plethora of product tie-ins.

The final showdown, in which the critters tangle with security-rigged lawn flamingos and garden gnomes, would have made Rube Goldberg proud.

A clever and fun escape from the summer blahs.

A cookie-cutter money-spinner, finely tooled for maximum profit, but utterly lacking timeless charm.

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

Feb 01, 2013Clever and funny, Over the Hedge is a wildly entertaining adventure from DreamWorks Animation. When a bunch of foraging critters come out of hibernation to find themselves blocked in from a gated community by a hedge, a street smart raccoon teaches them how to live in suburbia. The cast is excellent, featuring Bruce Willis, William Shatner, Garry Shandling, Steve Carell, and Avril Lavigne; who all deliver wonderful performances. And the animation is especially good, with incredible detail and creative designs. The music by Ben Folds is also well-done, giving a lot of energy and character to the film. Delightfully hilarious, Over the Hedge is a smartly made comedy that's good family fun.Dann M Super Reviewer
