OVER THE HEDGE
On March 8, 2006, [00:31 to 7:34] RJ, a raccoon, tries to
steal the food stash of Vincent, a black bear, but accidentally destroys it. RJ
talks Vincent out of killing him by promising to replace it in one week when
Vincent finally wakes up from hibernation. The next day a group of foragers,
led by the turtle Verne wakes up and discovers most of their habitat has been
replaced by a residential subdivision, from which a tall hedge now separates
their small remnant of woodland. RJ talks them into stealing some cookies from
the girl scouts, but this results in a call to an exterminator. They steal
enough food, but Verne’s attempt to return it results in it being destroyed.
Verne accidentally insults his group trying to explain his actions, which
results in Verne putting RJ in charge. He develops a plan to steal the food
that is being brought in for a big party. The plan is almost a success, as the
food is retrieved, but all the animals except RJ are captured by the
Verminator. When RJ delivers the food to Vincent a comment by the bear that RJ
is like him causes RJ to change his mind. He goes to rescue his new family in
the process destroying the food again. The bear chases RJ. They end up back at
the party house where the group ends up trapped in the hedge with two humans on
one side and Vincent on the other. RJ gives an energy drink to Hamy, a
hyperactive squirrel who becomes so hyper that to him the rest of the world
appears to have stopped. He turns on a trap the exterminator had set that
catches the two humans and Vincent. The group returns to the woods and accepts
RJ as a new member.
A pretty funny movie for both kids and adults.
