A scheming raccoon fools a mismatched family of forest creatures into helping him repay a debt of food, by invading the new suburban sprawl that popped up while they were hibernating – and learns a lesson about family himself.

Bereamic Awesome Movie
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Pjtaylor-96-138044 With an eclectic cast of zany characters and a sort of selfish, but eventually not, lead (who has an oddly Bruce Willis-like charm about him), this Dreamworks animation retains its own sense of identity and a distinctly non-grotesque visual style that sets it apart from others of its ilk. 'Over The Hedge (2006)' has a standard story with standard themes and standard presentation, but there's entertainment to be had and some nicely done character development amidst all the silly humour, as well as some decent voice-work (Steve Carell as a hyper-active squirrel, who's essentially 'The Flash' or 'Quicksilver' too, is a brilliant choice) and the odd bit of slapstick gold. 6/10
Kirpianuscus One of films so seductive than, after its end, you look for the motif. but each explanation did not work. because it gives a simple story, a lot of fun, touching moral, great old fashion adventures and lovely animation. and it is enough for become the right choice for entire family.
IlluminaTea If you're 7, you might manage to get some enjoyment out of this. But the bad animation, pacing, plot (actually just about everything) will constantly get your attention. It looks very cheaply made, as all the small details in the movie are complete garbage when you actually look at them. They may not have resorted to fart humor, but what you get here isn't really much better. Everything is exaggerated so that you don't notice how little you actually get. Leave it on for your young children. Anyone above the age of 8 is going to find obvious flaws with the movie.
Mr-Fusion Aside from some of the character models, "Over the Hedge" has mostly held up after almost ten years. It's got an exaggerated sense of humor that'll please most kids, and the satiric wit aimed at suburban lazies is worth a few laughs. Not just suburbia, but one of those house farms that springs up outta nowhere, seemingly overnight, like a weed. Most of the movie's spent taking shots at slovenly America's junk food addiction. Does it beat you over the head with this? Sure does, but we had it coming. Plus, you can never take too many jabs at Dr. Phil. Ever.The plot's paper thin, but its also high-energy and a breezy 80 minutes. And that's one hell of a cast, the highlight of which is a caffeinated Steve Carell.6/10
