From Back Cover:

In DreamWorks' smash-hit comedy, these hungry critters go over the hedge to take a bite out of Suburbia. Plus, check out the All-New Mini-Movie, Hammy's Boomerang Adventure... It's the funniest, furriest four minutes you'll see this year.

My Comments:

All the Shrek movies aside, Over the Hedge is Dreamworks' wittiest and most engaging film to date. It takes a light-hearted, yet poignant look at how ridiculously food-obsessed and self-centered American society has become as a group of foraging critters tries to survive after they awake from hibernation to find themselves surrounded by suburbia.
