Leave your thoughts about Over the Hedge.
| Worcester Telegram & GazetteDaniel M. KimmelCompared to such recent animated turkeys as Valiant, Chicken Little and The Wild, this is a movie that soars. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldSandra HallSome great slapstick, choreographed with both balletic grace and a sharp eye for the belly laugh. |
| WaffleMovies.comWillie WaffleOnce again proving, TALKING ANIMALS ARE FUNNY! |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...it is packed with so many delightful observations and its actors so well cast that one can forgive it its shortcomings. |
| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkJust when it seemed like the computer animation genre was losing some steam, Over The Hedge comes along and gives it a well-deserved boost. |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfWhy should second-rate scripting be a concern? Because Hedge can be ruthlessly entertaining when it wants to be, and that isn't nearly enough. |
| The Film YapNick RogersHigh on culture, low on pop, but easily has a bubbling feature-length fizz. Within snappy action sequences and manic comedy, there's a slight screed against the every-square-inch mentality. |
| Houston ChronicleAmy BiancolliIts own animal, a spirited and intrepid critter that mooches our affection along with the garbage. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunManages to illustrate the perils of greed and the benefits of friendship, loyalty and group effort, and without hitting anyone over the head with it. It's environmentally friendly. It will make you laugh out loud. |
| The A.V. ClubTasha RobinsonOver The Hedge stands out as genuinely witty and even a little barbed. Its chipper, sneering outsider's look at suburban sprawl and conformity isn't going to change the world, but it's still self-aware enough to be reasonably smart. |
