Hoot (2006)

Redundant and unnecessary.

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Very Nice and Enjoyable Family Fun and a message at the end.... Truly Miss such Chill out family fun movies, we once used to enjoy so much during the 80's and 90's..... But now we hardly witness such good and family fun movies but mainly witness only 3D, action , Science fiction..... Focusing too.much on technology, we have gradually losing the substance in it that made movies so sweet and memorable...... Good Actors and Oh I love the music and songs in the entire movie..... DEFINITELY GO AND WATCH IT.... If you truly miss those Old Golden Family Fun movie day's.... It will definitely take you back there..... ENJOY..... TUMPBS UP IF IT HELPED YOU..... MY MESSAGE TO ALL OF YOU......... " USE TECHNOLOGY ONLY HAS A TOOL, AND NOT HAS A NECESSITY...... AND START TO LIVE YOUR LIFE MORE NATURALLY. "

Hoot is a pleasant and innocuous comedy about a trio of teens who save an owl nesting place from being bulldozed to make way for a fast food type pancake house. As if Florida didn't already have enough of them.The teens are Logan Lerman, Brie Larson, and Cody Linley. The characters seem to be borrowed from Tom Sawyer, Becky Thatcher, and Huck Finn. Well if the Magic Kingdom is going to borrow, borrowing from someone like Mark Twain is certainly a good idea.Lerman is a new kid in town who because of that becomes the target of the school bully. But when he's not dealing with that or when Ms. Larson isn't dealing with Eric Phillips the bully, he's gotten himself in their crusade to save some owls who have nested on the property the corporation wants to build on. This is by no means a new theme for Disney, as far back as Cesar Romero and Keenan Wynn played tycoons whose only interest is making money no matter what the cost.I like what Cody Linley did with his role. He's the barefoot kid just like Huckleberry Finn along the Mississippi only here its the sands of the Florida beaches. Hoot is nothing terribly special, but it is a pleasant 90 minutes viewing.

This movie was pretty good. It had a nice upbeat tone throughout and was a pleasant experience to watch.It's about a kid who moves to Florida and, in addition to being hassled as the 'new kid' at school, gets involved with learning the about the mysterious "barefoot kid" and some little critters in need of help.What keeps this movie moving along are two things. One is great acting performances by Logan Lerman (lead role), Brie Larson (scary tough girl) and Luke Wilson (police officer). The other is the intrigue level the story maintains by slowly revealing things about the characters and the story.All in all, this is a pretty nice, well-made, upbeat movie that just can appeal to both kids and adults.

The message was plain and simple; Florida is flat and they will bulldoze it until they have cleared it coast to coast and there is no room left for the wildlife. They have bought all the politicians and they are tearing the state up little by little.This isn't an Oscar winning film, but it is a good story and it had some good characters. I mean, I would have loved to go to science class taught by Jimmy Buffet.Logan Lerman (The Patriot) as Roy did an excellent job, and Brie Larson was cute as a button. And, we even got to see Carl Hiassen, the writer and one cool dude.If you care at all about the environment, then you should have your kids see this. maybe they will get inspired to do something before there is nothing left.
