April 11, 2009Over the Hedge only falls behind Shrek in my list of favorite Dreamworks movies. It's tale is fairly unique, even though familiar themes like friendship, honesty, and self-confidence are at the heart of the movie.
The voice talent is top-notch and there's more than enough humor...( read more) -
March 19, 2009I don't think the filmmakers were striving for anything more than a cute, charming, and funny movie, and they do achieve this.

December 7, 2008Much funnier than I thought it would be. Definitely better for adults than kids really.

October 11, 2008A good storyline with some great characters, in particular Hammy, I love the scene with the fizzy drink. The whole film emits a message about family.

A raucous, funny and fresh look at the 3 C's: conservation, consumerism and consumption (of the excessive and conspicuous kind). full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Over the Hedge isn't by any stretch bad. It's just banal. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
There may be only so many ways you can spin a computer-generated animated feature about a gang of animals and their grand project against an evil adversary. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
A feature cartoon that is not at the level of Finding Nemo or Shrek, but is a lot of fun, awfully nice to look at, and filled with energy and smiles. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
Embraces a timid, underdeveloped middle ground between skewering and embracing mass-market consumerism. full review
