Now, RJ stages the biggest heist yet, from the supplies of the big "welcome to the neighborhood" party Gladys plans for the following day. With RJ's help, Verne apologizes to his reluctant friends, and they welcome him back. RJ then goes to Verne, cools down and cheers him up. He slowly realizes that he shouldn't be using them for his own selfish needs, but should he blurt them out his secret and break their hearts? They're so kind, soft, and even give him a spot for himself so he wouldn't need to sleep on a tree. But Verne isn't the only one with problems.ĭuring his time with the foragers, RJ can't resist but having a growing affection for all of them. Verne is then by himself, as he wonders what is truly best for his family and whether he belongs in it any more. Angry and hurt, the animals leave Verne and he is all alone. Hammy tearfully says, "I'm not stupid," and takes the comment seriously with him being very hyperactive and somewhat childlike. Verne then tries to take back what he said, but the damage has already been done and circumstances get worse as Verne tries to come up with a less hurtful description and says "ignorant." But no one is more heartbroken then Hammy, as Verne's hand was unintentionally pointing at him during his outburst.

While trying to warn the others of RJ's plan to use them, Verne turns on RJ and claims that he is making his friends to do whatever he likes because they are "too stupid and naive to know any better". When RJ and Verne are rocketed back over the hedge, RJ and the other animals get mad at Verne. The sequence ends with the two animals falling, unhurt, to earth, while the errant, ad hoc rocket crashes into Gladys' black SUV with a stylized, mushroom-cloud fireball.

Seeing this, and realizing that they might be in danger, Verne tries to return everything they've stolen as a bargain to the humans to spare their lives - leading to an action set-piece involving himself and RJ, a chasing "Play"-spouting dog (Nugent), a wagon piled high with goods and goodies, and a canister of barbecue propane, and a backyard slide that launches the wagon, Verne and RJ into the sky. Seeing this, the whole group except Verne joins in and begins to steal other foods from the neighborhood of overfed, SUV-driving humans, along with other items on the list RJ secretly keeps.Īll this prompts the ire of home-owner association president Gladys Sharp ( Allison Janney), who hires a pest-control specialist Dwayne LaFontant, who calls himself The Verminator ( Thomas Haden Church).
Over the hedge movie#
Using a combination of con artistry and caper movie antics, they successfully snatch a wagon full of Girl Scout-like cookies (which begins Hammy's addiction). Yet, a determined and desperate RJ gets the woodland creatures to explore. Coming onto the scene, RJ prompts them to scavenge for the food treasures he promises they will find beyond it while Verne fears for what traps or predators also await. To their surprise and trepidation, they discover a hedge: Which they call "Steve" until RJ directs them otherwise.

He immediately directs his charges - Hammy (RJ, during the film, calls him "Hamilton") the cookie-addicted, hyperactive squirrel ( Steve Carell) Stella the skunk with attitude ( Wanda Sykes) Ozzie the Shakespearean opossum ( William Shatner) and his 16-year-old frequently embarrassed daughter Heather ( Avril Lavigne) and Minnesota accented porcupines Lou ( Eugene Levy) and Canadian-accented Penny ( Catherine O'Hara), and their young offspring Spike, Bucky, and Quillo - to start they're yearly search for food to store. There, a community of foragers led by the practical turtle, Verne ( Garry Shandling), awakens from hibernation. RJ finds the new suburban development El Rancho Camelot Estates in western Indiana where he can steal all the replacement items he needs. It looks okay, and RJ and Vincent laugh about it, when it is run over by a truck and is destroyed.Ī furious Vincent gives RJ an ultimatum: Replace everything within a week, or get eaten. In a panic, RJ knocks the wagon of food into the street. While trying to steal Vincent's cache of goods, as well as his red wagon and blue cooler, RJ accidentally wakes up Vincent, who after realizing what RJ is doing, tries to scare him into giving his stuff back. A raccoon named RJ ( Bruce Willis), after unsuccessfully trying to get a snack item from a vending machine, ventures into the cave of a hibernating American black bear named Vincent ( Nick Nolte).
