Over The Hedge - 2006

When you go on vacation, you're pretty much at the mercy of a group when it comes to watching a movie. We headed up to a cabin in the woods for a long weekend and we enjoyed the time together.

One movie we found in the collection of the cabin was Over The Hedge. Over the Hedge is an animated movie that takes place over the span of about 2 weeks in the life of a Raccoon and a group of hibernating animals. They awake to find that their forest home has been turned into a suburban wasteland of SUV's and cookie cutter houses. They realize that they will need to be a little more creative about how they find their food storage units for the winter months.

When I first saw this in the movie theater, I have to admit - I was impressed. I cracked up constantly and I was blown away by the antics of Steve Carell. Yeah, I know he just played the part of the "rabid squirrel", but I feel like he stole all the scenes he was in. With names like "Gary Shandling","Eugene Levy", "Bruce Willis" and "Catherine O'Hara" you just know the movie will be entertaining!
