I'm not gonna give a review of Over the Hedge, 'cause there's only so much one can say about CGI possums. I'll just say it's really cute and appropriate for all ages, or perhaps just 9 - 90. (Like the comic strip it's supposed to be very anti-consumerism, but that's hard to buy when those same critters are on every flippin' commercial on TV!) The highlight is a scene where the incredibly hyper squirrel has an energy drink, but the titles are also hilarious because of the new G-rated version of Ben Folds Five's "Rockin' the Surburbs":
Let me tell y'all what it's like
Watching Idol on a friday night
In a house built safe and sound
On Indian burial ground
Shaman! ["Sham on" in the original]
We drive our cars every day
To and from work both ways
So we make just enough to pay
To drive our cars to work each day
