Over The Hedge

watched the movie this morning as soon as i got home. i watched it with Jasvil. However, it didn't turn out to be as fun as we expected it to be. Jasvil fell asleep in the middle of the movie. And i almost did. i got the moral of the story, somehow. it's about uh---family. it's just weird how a turtle can live in the woods. hehe. i guess that's a formula of a good story - there has to be something odd with the lead character. when Jasvil woke up and we were talking about the movie, she was like... "god i feel asleep on that movie! was it boring? or am i just too old for that now?" **chuckle** i think it's a bit of both. we've seen lotsa' movies with the same theme. same type of humor. same plot. it feels like watching a tagalog flick. honestly. like you would know what will happen next. no more surprises for viewers. nothing new. nothing phenomenal. "same old, same old" they say. even the great animation failed to astound us when in fact it was real cool. however, we've grown tired of 'em now. i think what they could have improved on on this flick is the plot. they should have tweaked it a bit. having a turtle in a pack of wood animals isn't enough, i think. it's also evident that they are banking on the humor. it was a good but not good enough. there was supposed to be a really funny part there when the squirrel said he can actually burp his ABC's but it was cut short. i could hear Jasvil let out a big laugh but faded after 3 seconds. hehehe. that was the effect of it. from 1-10, 10 as the highest my rating for this movie is 5 = Satisfactory.

***Soon to come: 2006 RECAP! (can't wait! - it's going to be this blog's anniversary. didn't know blogs also have anniversaries, hahahhaha! "keber?!"
