Movie #142 - Over the Hedge

Title: Over the Hedge

Director: Tim Johnson & Karey Kirkpatrick

Release Year: 2006

Plot Summary: A con-artist raccoon tries to introduce a sensitive turtle, along with other forest creatures, to the temptations of encroaching suburbia.

Thoughts: It was cute, light and fluffy but not in a bad way. Of course they have to have the ubiquitous "really obnoxious twitchy spastic animal for comic relief," but I suppose perfection is more or less unobtainable. RJ the raccoon and Verne the turtle were definitely the stand-out characters, and I really liked them both a lot - heck, I managed to swipe 'em from the giant cardboard standee in the lobby. :P

Recommendations: Dreamworks is no Pixar, but they do good stuff on occasion. This one is worth a view or three.
