Over the Hedge (2006)


Paramount Pictures
Directed by Tim Johnson, Karey Kirkpatrick
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, DreamWorks)

A raccoon steals food from a hibernating bear, but when he accidentally wakes him up the food is destroyed on a nearby highway. The raccoon makes a bargain with the bear to save his life, promising to replace food, mostly junk food, within one week. The raccoon finds a group of foraging animals nearby and decides to use them to get the food from a suburban development that sprung up over the winter. They have to outwit the homeowner's association president and her hired exterminator. It contains enough inside jokes and pokes at suburbia to overcome the predictable plot and the already aged CGI.
