Review of Hoot (2006)

By Timothy Knight (332) for Reel.com (1,232) on 04 May 2006

It feels a little churlish to pan an environmentally friendly film that presents kids taking a courageous stand, but Hoot is disappointingly…

Review of Hoot (2006)

By Kyle Smith (1,916) for New York Post (6,650) on 04 May 2006

Review of Hoot (2006)

By Louis B. Hobson (245) for Jam! Movies (2,396) on 04 May 2006

He [Shriner] creates some charming moments and a few exciting ones, but he can't seem to tie them all together and sustain the pacing…

Review of Hoot (2006)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 04 May 2006

The movie is unessential at best. But the Everglades -- and the owls that live nearby -- are irresistible…

Review of Hoot (2006)

By Liam Lacey (1,725) for Globe and Mail (2,419) on 04 May 2006

The goal is apparently a double exercise in heartfelt lessons and deep hilarity, but it's hard to tell because the pace feels so lethargic…

Review of Hoot (2006)

By Tom Long (1,693) for Detroit News (2,682) on 04 May 2006

Hoot is safe enough to take your kids to, but you might want to have a talk with them afterward about continuing to go to school and shying…

Review of Hoot (2006)

By John Monaghan (292) for Detroit Free Press (942) on 04 May 2006

Its makers will tell you that Hoot is an educational film, but aside from showing that some owls live underground rather than in trees, little…

Review of Hoot (2006)

By Jeff Vice (1,455) for Deseret News (Salt Lake City) (1) on 04 May 2006

This silly family comedy features some of the dumbest slapstick this side of the Disney Channel…

Review of Hoot (2006)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 04 May 2006

There has to have been a way for Hoot to have preached the gospel of wildness preservation, grabbed a PG rating and still maintained Hiaasen's…

Review of Hoot (2006)

By Randy Myers (265) for Contra Costa Times (478) on 04 May 2006

Review of Hoot (2006)

By Andrea Gronvall (422) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 04 May 2006

Writer-director Wil Shriner tends to sit on almost every shot, killing any comic momentum (sequences with Luke Wilson as a dim-bulb cop are…

Review of Hoot (2006)

By James Sanford (927) for Kalamazoo Gazette (860) on 04 May 2006

It's refreshing to see a movie in which the teenage characters have something on their minds besides getting to the prom, sneaking out to a…

Review of Hoot (2006)

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 04 May 2006

By Steven D. Greydanus (674) for Decent Films Guide (519) on 04 May 2006

Dumbs down a story that, for what it's worth, was no Holes to begin with… aggravates the book's narrative and moral problems while watering…

Review of Hoot (2006)

By Mike Russell (146) for Oregonian (1,550) on 04 May 2006

The errant subplots go nowhere. The movie has an episodic TV quality so pronounced, I kept expecting commercial breaks…
