Movie Review: Over The Hedge

Movie Review:
Over the Hedge

Heading into the theatre, I was so excited to see "Over the Hedge"..... suddenly, no the more apropiate word to me would be sullenly I was dissapointed. The first beginning credits begin with very nice mellow music to try to get you in the mood (which I might add was the best part of the entire film) and actually did work at the time, but unfortuanetely, the movie starts out slow and ends slightly less.
The Music: The music well, let's just say tryed to substitute for the sorry attempt to make you laugh. It was mellow and easygoing but did not fit the movie what so ever.
The Acting: The acting was not the dropping point of the movie..... nor was the plot, I'm not quite sure what was the dropping point of this movie but to me it just did not feel right. Although Gary Shandling as the very shell shocked turtle Verne, at some points was entirely off. Avril Lavigne is not an actress (at least not a voice actress at that.) she was the worst.
The Plot: The plot went up and down much to much. Some points you will be snoring, others you will be jumping and cheering for a lazer dodging squirrel.
The Script: Last but not least the script, well on a humorous level I would rate the script a 4 out of 10 with many mindless punchlines and hardly any thoughtful and simple warming moments. If you like mindless toilet humor, then most likely you are sure to love the humor here.
Overall Score: 5 1/2 OUT OF 10
