Worst. movie. ever. - Over the Hedge Reviews
Hopefully, in my life time, SOMEONE will make a film that is truly child appropriate. I might have to do it myself.
One small example: early on in the film, a bear delivers a terrifying death threat to a racoon whose attempted to steak his food, He purrs, full screen, "I"m going to kill you." Why do we, as parents, accept this as appropriate material for children?
This is simply a typical Hollywood formula (action film with violence, snotty women and cars flying through the air) dressed up in cartoon characters. Doesn't matter to me what "the message" is suppose to be--the impact of seeing and hearing death threats on myself and my children is NOT entertainment. Positioning violence, revenge and dangerous situations as entertainment is way bad for our collective souls.
