3/5
A really light, funny movie, with an interesting voice cast Go to Full Review Bruce Diones The New Yorker 04/14/2013
The story has a loony, slapstick verve, and the star-studded voice work is uniformly entertaining. Go to Full Review Christy Lemire Associated Press 04/14/2013
If Over the Hedge aims solely to entertain, it does so in a way that's mildly amusing but mostly hackneyed. If it aims to instruct, it weakens its own argument with the plethora of product tie-ins. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 04/14/2023
The story is slim and somewhat dubiously built on a confused moral but the script is snappy and the films moves with a fluid rhythm that charges up to a rollercoaster pace... Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com 09/19/2020
3.5/4.0
Filled with enough little moments of comic wonder that I could literally sit here all day trying to share them all. Go to Full Review Alberto Abuín Espinof 02/12/2020

Hope 03/27/2023 Loved that it kept my 5 year old grandson entertained the whole movie! See more Heather 03/26/2023 Very cute and clever. Some scenes may be a little scary for very young kids but overall an excellent family movie. See more Harry H. @Movies10 4d Happy 20th anniversary Over the Hedge the animation still looks good 20 years later. See more Matthew S @robert554 Apr 5 This is an incredible movie! Me and my Skibiti rizzer gang and some nerdy band kids tried to make a satanic ritual, that’s the reason why I brought the band kids so that they make spooky music while me and the Rizzlers chant gibberish while wearing masks of all the characters in the movie, like RJ, Verne, Hammy (or as I like to call him, nutflash), who can run fast like the flash and nuts fast, Stella, Ozzie, Gladys, and the creepy discord mod exterminator. We did it so that me, and only me can get the super duper ultra rare, stain my underwear Over the Hedge blueberry holographic collectors edition DVD. The reason why it’s only me is because I’m too poor to buy streaming service and only have a PS3 to play Blueberry DVDs on. Anyways, Satan showed up and instead of his greedy @ss actually giving me the DVD, he killed me and all of my rizzer buddies and now I’m in hell writing this review on my Nintendo DS on the Nintendo DS browser game I bought off of craigslist See more Davetheman Mar 22 This movie gave me rabies just like hammy See more Senan P @Iliketuwtles4 Feb 5 It has a turtle and turtles are cool as beans.
