Movie: Over the Hedge

Over the Hedge has a scene in it that made me cry tears of laughter. I was absolutely in stitches during it. Thing is, my favorite scene is not my usual physical comedy (of which the movie is chock full of brilliant set-ups and take-downs), but a brilliant twist on an idea. I’ve already told Matt, Steve, John, Erin, and Dan what this scene is … and I fear I may have ruined its impact in doing so. SO, here we go … if you (1) forgot which scene I said was my favorite or (2) never heard which scene it was in the first place, and (3) have seen the movie … do try and guess which scene I am talking about. I’ll be sure to leave a comment about it after more of you have had the chance to see the movie. And see the movie you will. I rather mistakenly said “if you do not see the movie, I will take you and pay for you to see it.” Some threat.

Anyhow, turns out I am completely eschewing the traditional movie review format to simply say: it is a good movie, such that I would even consider buying it, which I never do with movies.”

An interesting aside: one of the main characters in the movie, the turtle Verne, is voiced by the comedian Garry Shandling, who was just on Jay Leno tonight. I have to admit, Mr. Shandling gave one of the funniest late-night interviews I have ever seen. Here’s a quote: “I honestly just don’t want to talk about anything right now.” Or how about: to audience “You know, I know Jay in real life and its so strange to pretend to have this conversation here. Why are you sitting behind a desk? I don’t see any office work getting done behind that desk.” My favorite: “I really don’t feel like you are my friend right now, Jay.”

I like laughing.
