Spring has sprung, and Verne and his woodland friends awaken from their long winter's nap to discover that a large, green hedge has cropped up right through the middle of their once-natural habitat. Enter RJ, an opportunistic raccoon who explains that the world beyond the hedge is "the gateway to the good life" where peculiar creatures called humans live to eat, rather than eat to live. "For humans," RJ proclaims, "enough is never enough." (DreamWorks Animation)

For an A-grade movie, this is rather unsure in technical terms, in terms of story this is also no miracle, the characters are uninteresting and one of them is absolutely unbearable (and paradoxically he is the central actor in one of the best scenes in the movie) - but thanks to the short running time and decent pace, watching this is quite a passable experience. Too bad that overall it will appeal to a younger audience, because apart from a couple of adult jokes, Over the Hedge has nothing better to offer.

The movie "Za plotem" is not exceptional in any way - on the other hand, it does not have any significant flaws. In its own way, it is a perfect product because the script is easily understandable for all age categories and every family member will find exactly what they need in it to leave in a pleasant mood - so it embodies the concept of a family film. Cute characters, which, however, do not cross the line into kitsch, humorous lines fix the impression where the story veers towards sentimentality in defense of family values. A reasonable dose of engaged criticism of consumer society delivered in an entertaining package. Decent pace and dubbing. Overall impression 75%.

Surprising good fun. I didn’t expect much from Over the Hedge and I treated it like this year’s outsider. The animation isn’t absolutely state of the art, but that’s not so important for this movie. It’s about fun and Over the Hedge has heaps of that. Likeable characters headed by Vern the turtle and RJ the racoon set off a merry-go-round of allusions to movies (even the refrigerator looks like it came straight out of the second Matrix) and really laid back, relaxed, restful fun that you will certainly want to watch again sometime.

Such a pleasant animated movie, which has a quite crazy plot, classic pleasant animal characters, and people as the villains. It is nothing groundbreaking, and I feel like this is just something I have seen many times before. It is fun, but not totally hilarious, and the other emotions are not portrayed superbly as a whole.
