I think it's a known fact that we do get too many CGI movies where it contains talking animals. It's a fact. Let's see, we have Ice Age 2, Madagascar, The Wild, shall I go on. But you should also know by now that I am a huge sucker for CGI movies in general. Even though they're aimed for little kids, I still have a fun time. I guess it brings out the little kid in me. When I walked into Over the Hedge, I was expecting complete and utter crap, judging from all the other crappy talking animal movies we get. But was in for a surprise, Over the Hedge was a fun and bloomy delight with a good story and great jokes. It also has some of the finest animation I've ever seen from a CGI film. Over the Hedge starts off with R.J. the raccoon (Bruce Willis) trying to steal a load of food from a hibernating bear named Vincent (Nick Nolte). While he's trying to steal the food, he gets caught by Vincent. Startled, R.J. lets the food go where it is destroyed. Vincent is then angry to find that R.J. is trying to steal the food so he then makes a deal with R.J. R.J. has one week to get every one bit of food that Vincent had and replace it before Vincent wakes up from hibernation. R.J. is of course a loner who has no family who friends. I don't know about anyone else, but I smelled a lesson miles before it came. R.J. then stumbles upon a group of animals who just woke up from hibernation and learned that during hibernation, suburbia has taken over most of their wooded area. Moving ahead, R.J. tricks them into going into suburbia and loading up food not telling them that it's for a bear voiced by Nick Nolte. Over the Hedge does no harm in CGI entertainment and is surprisingly satisfying. It has enough jokes for both kids and adults to keep them entertained. Yes, there is some flaws for Over the Hedge, but I won't go into that. Over the Hedge is created to entertain, that's it. It's a, dare I say, cute film that should link to everyone. What I loved the most in here are the colorful characters in here and the different personalities they share. My favorite character that I must point out is Hammy the squirrel voiced by Steve Carrell. There is even a sequence that I won't spoil that is near the ending involving Hammy drinking a caffinated drink that makes the whole experience seem worth it. Over the Hedge also makes some true remarks on how our whole world is centered around the word "food." Over the Hedge is a surprisingly smart, witty, colorful, and fun ride the whole way. I would recommend it to almost anyone. My grade for Over the Hedge: B
