The manicured lawns and overstuffed garbage cans of suburbia become a buffet for woodland creatures in Over the Hedge. A self-centered raccoon named RJ (voiced by Bruce Willis, Die Hard) steals and accidentally destroys the hoard of an angry bear (Nick Nolte, 48 Hours), who gives the raccoon a week to replace it. RJ despairs--until he meets an odd gang of foragers, ranging from a turtle named Verne (Garry Shandling, The Larry Sanders Show), a father/daughter duo of opossums (the bizarre pairing of William Shatner and pop singer Avril Lavigne), a family of porcupines (with A Mighty Wind's Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara as the parents), and a hyperactive squirrel named Hammy (Steve Carell, The 40 Year Old Virgin). By convincing these friendly beasts that the suburban homesteads on the other side of a recently erected hedge are a mother-lode of cast-off food, RJ hopes to dupe them into doing his gathering. But when the suburban residents realize they've been invaded by woodland pests, an exterminator is called to take care of the problem. The overarching storyline of Over the Hedge is pure formula--your basic "family matters more than anything" lesson--but moment to moment, the movie is delightfully crisp and clever. The animation is topnotch, the acting is excellent (other voices include those of Allison Janney, The West Wing, and Thomas Haden Church, Sideways), and the satirical jabs at consumerism are actually funny. An above-average animated movie. --Bret Fetzer

Customer Reviews

good seller
Item as described. Shipped very quickly, but accidentally shipped wrong item. Responded quickly and apologized for mistake, and did reiumburse me for shipping back the wrong video. I did finally end up with the correct video that I purchased.

One of my favorite animated movies!!
I have to admit, I am almost 30 and I love this movie from beginning to end. Just like all animated movies, it's extremely cleverly (is that a word?) written, and is just plain fun to watch, especially with my daughter. My wife also throughly enjoys this as well.

Just a fun movie and you won't regret purchasing it.

refreshing and funny
What a refreshingly childlike movie without the usual adult inuendos that always seem to sneak into 'child' movies today. Very funny and charming. Hammy is a hoot.
