Editor's Notes and Comments:
Description:
From Walden Media (The Chronicles of Narnia franchise) and based on the best-selling book, Hoot is a classic story that is fun for all ages. When a boy and his classmates realize that a population of endangered, burrowing owls is threatened by new construction, the kids decide to take on crooked politicians and bumbling cops in the hope of saving their new friends.
Amazon.com:
The natural beauties of Florida find some young champions in Hoot, based on the young adult novel by satirical crime writer Carl Hiaasen. While trying to resist being bullied on the school bus, Roy (Logan Lerman, Jack & Bobby) becomes intrigued by a barefoot boy running frantically along the sidewalk. As he investigates, Roy learns that a nearby construction site is a habitat for a protected species of burrowing owl and that a tough girl at his school named Beatrice (Brie Larson, Sleepover) has some connection with the barefoot boy, who has some connection with vandalism at the construction site. Hoot has been attacked by conservative critics for promoting eco-terrorism--a charge most viewers may find overheated--but the movie's real weakness isn't political but artistic; the clumsy dialogue barely sounds like human speech and the plot takes some hard-to-believe turns. At one point, as part of protecting the burrowing owls and their chicks, a kid releases poisonous cottonmouth snakes onto the construction site; apparently his ecological knowledge doesn't include the feeding habits of these snakes, which eat birds. The colorful scenery and the affable presence of Luke Wilson (Bottle Rocket, Old School) keep the movie alive. Also featuring Tim Blake Nelson (O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Holes) and singer Jimmy Buffett, whose tropical honky-tonk bubbles up all over the soundtrack. --Bret Fetzer

I worked for over 30 years with abused, neglected and disfuncitonal children. It was fun to watch a movie about kids that, although not perfect (but who is?) did positive things even if they did do a little bit of distruction. Revolutions are not clean...ever.

This film is truly family friendly and fun to watch from beginning to end. Not filled with the typical Hollywood schlock which makes it better than any alleged blockbuster. Perfect for tweens but, to be honest, it is probably TOO intelligent for most adults. It goes to show what a little inspiration and a positive outlook can accomplish. It is good to see that not all idealism is dead in this world. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

This is a story that has some good growing examples on life and also will keep the interest of those watching. This is a good movie to show 5-8 students.

It's a great movie. I would also suggest reading the book. My 8th graders had to read it for school. I would recommend to anyone of any age. It is a story about a boy who moves to Florida who meets some interesting people.

My family and I saw this movie last summer at the Regal Free Family Film Festival (This is a great way to beat the heat for free) and we loved it . The story is fun and the antics of the "bad" guys are funny.
