Good movie for kids, but - Over the Hedge Reviews

This is no blockbuster. The animation was great - it was very visually enjoyable, but that was about it. Some of the dialogue was clever but there were several moments where the theater was silent for 10 minutes at a time and no one was laughing, and it was a full theater. It had it's funny moments, but I would not go so far as to say it was a "funny movie". The squirrel was probably the funniest and most clever character. Dreamworks is almost too concerned with how their movies look, rather than make a "good movie". Their animators are brilliant, don't get me wrong. But overall the movie was pretty dull. My kids enjoyed it, but most kids aren't critics - they just enjoy cartoons.
