The villains are also a fun sort with basically three different villains all vying for screen time. It’s similar to the difference between how Quicksilver is handled in Age of Ultron vs the X-Men films. #OVER THE HEDGE SQUIRREL MOVIE#Although they do take this in a slightly different direction where Hoodwinked had Twitchy shoot off in a trail of smoke, this movie has Hammy move at normal speed where everything else slows down. The rest of the cast are generally one-note jokes with William Shatner playing the overdramatic possom who makes a big deal over playing dead, the hyperactive squirrel played by Steve Carrell even though they re-use a very similar joke from Hoodwinked which came out the year before when they give the squirrel caffeine. Garry Shandling plays the nervous turtle leader of the foraging family Verne who spends most of the movie as the perennial wet blanket but does get one of the best lines of the movie when he explains that if RJ had just told them that he needed the food to save himself from an angry bear they would have still done it for him anyway rather than having him trick them into gathering the food for him under false pretenses. Bruce Willis plays a typical Bruce Willis type character, wisecracking street smart con man. The characters are all pretty entertaining. ![]()
