Hedge your bet on this one... - Over the Hedge Reviews

Dreamworks has managed to once again come in second place to Disney in these 'Pixar' type of animation films. Although, I have yet to see this year's rival 'Cars' the previews alone are better then 'Over the Hedge'. I am not sure why studios insist on spending so much on voice talents when the truth is that no name talents would probably serve the purpose for these type of movies. But I digress, the truth is that Over the Hedge is an entertaining film with great graphics and adequate character development. What is lacking is a story line. This movie would have been so much better if a moral or purpose to the story were more evident. However, the movie kept pace with my seven year old and her friend and that is really good enough for me. Kids will enjoy this much more than adults, which is what makes this film different than Disney/Pixar's films. If you are looking for a good matinee then this will do.
