I wish I could give this 6/5 stars. This is truly a masterpiece, one of the greatest cinematic works to have ever existed. If you have not watched this movie, you have not lived a good life. You need to throw everything down and buy this movie or pirate it online, who cares what you do but you need to watch it. This movie can only be described as a tipping point in someone's life, once you watch Over The Hedge, you'll never go back to being the same person you were before. You become a reformed person, you achieve eternal peace. You become the Buddha, you reach enlightenment. I truly believe that I would be a completely miserable person if it were not for this movie. In fact, I recently experienced some really hard struggles, as all male, middle class, white guys do. Even though all this pain and hardship happened, I'm still standing here today and I credit it all to Over The Hedge
