Over the Hedge Reviews
A really light, funny movie, with an interesting voice cast
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2023
The story is slim and somewhat dubiously built on a confused moral but the script is snappy and the films moves with a fluid rhythm that charges up to a rollercoaster pace...

Filled with enough little moments of comic wonder that I could literally sit here all day trying to share them all.
| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 19, 2020
A correct movie that will make us spend a good time. [Full Review in Spanish]

Colorful, fun, energetic and entertaining, Over the Hedge will hold the attention of both young and old alike.

I would say watch the first 20 minutes and then find something else to do with your day!
| Original Score: C- | Mar 13, 2019
Very cute. Lovable characters, wildly original slapstick routines, tearful heart tuggings, and most surprisingly, life-or-death dilemmas and environmental messages that will withstand repeated at-home viewings.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 26, 2018
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.

A colorful and engaging comedy of suburbia's encroachment into the wilderness and its consequences for a motley crew of animals just awakened from hibernation.

Adventure, cute and cuddly animals, and some wit make for a wonderful experience!
| Original Score: A | Jul 6, 2010
A surprisingly very good animated adventure that relishes in simplicity...
| Apr 29, 2009
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.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 10, 2008
The story is no grabber, and the sight gags are labored, but the animation is sleekly pretty, and it goes by painlessly enough.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 7, 2008
I watched the film with very low expectations and was pleasantly surprised by its heart and its humor.
| Original Score: B | Jul 14, 2007
The final showdown, in which the critters tangle with security-rigged lawn flamingos and garden gnomes, would have made Rube Goldberg proud.
| Apr 18, 2007
A clever and fun escape from the summer blahs.
Full Review | Mar 24, 2007
A cookie-cutter money-spinner, finely tooled for maximum profit, but utterly lacking timeless charm.
| Jan 20, 2007
The new Dreamworks CGI animated feature ignores much of the satire and tries to cram the rest into the usual kids movie format.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 20, 2007
