A Masterpiece!

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

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. "

Roy Eberhardt (Logan Lerman) is the new kid in a Florida school and he's getting bullied. Then one day while being bullied, a fast-running bare-footed kid catches his eye. Together the two along with his half-sister Beatrice (Brie Larson) band together to save a burrowing owl habitat from an evil developer.This is a kid movie where the adults are either stupid, evil, or clueless. In some cases, they are all three. Luke Wilson and Tim Blake Nelson really ramp up the stupidity in this film. And Roy's parents (Neil Flynn and Kiersten Warren) aren't much better. It's too bad. The kids were likable enough. If they could limit the silly bullying and the clueless adults, they could have a wonderful little film.

I am not going to lie and say Hoot is the best family film I have seen, but I am going to say I actually rather liked it. True, the pacing is a little too slow at times, the story perhaps a little predictable and some of the characters are rather clichéd particularly the bully. However, Hoot is beautifully photographed with lovely scenery and the cinematography was very nice. The soundtrack was a pleasant touch and had a somewhat nostalgic feel to it, while the dialogue is humorous and has some sweet parts too, the message is admirable and the direction is above-adequate. And the acting was good on the whole, Logan Lerman is an appealing lead and Brie Larson while petite is alluring and likable enough, while Tim Blake Nelson does a very good job with his role as does Luke Wilson. Overall, very nice and likable, nothing outstanding but it's not awful either. 7/10 Bethany Cox

I just saw the movie today and was pleasantly surprised. I thought the storyline was very creative and well put together. All the character where very relate able you could be the tomboy girl like Beatrice or the normal guy who is just trying to survive a new school and life like Roy or you can be a rebel like mullet fingers. The movie stood out to me cause it was clean but still very enjoyable. Every character added their own element to the story. And this is a must see by everyone.It has that light, that i think everyone will get use of, that makes you want to just do whatever you think is right and fight for your voice. So kids or teenagers, do have voice that is very well deserving of being heard, we might all learn something!!Very creative, story was great, its just a must see hands down!!
