Over the Hedge
Jen and I felt like watching a movie but neither of us wanted anything heavy so we saw
Over the Hedge.
It is ostensibly a kids movie but there are a lot of wonderful in-jokes and references to other movies. Little fleeting moments on the screen that are hilarious -- a John Tesh CD with a yard-sale 10¢ sticker on it.
Also fun is that it borrows some characters from rival Pixar. The head of Toy Story character Rex (the dinosaur) appears at the beginning (the vending machine scene). The exterminator borrows a lot from Al, the unscrupulous toy collector in TS2.
A fun evening...
