April 10, 2009Not bad of a film. Focused and interesting to watch. I liked the beginning. It caught my attention with all the trouble Roy was attracting and the barefoot boy being so mysterious.

Kyle Smith, New York Post
The movie pretends to take a kids' point of view, but it treats kids like idiots. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
The movie is unessential at best. But the Everglades -- and the owls that live nearby -- are irresistible. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
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. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Hoot tells kids they can make a difference in this world, and that's worth a hundred Ice Age 2's. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Hoot has its heart in the right place, but I have been unable to locate its brain. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
A modest, lightly comic film that succeeds on sheer good faith. full review

April 15, 2007I love this movie! I think it is so sweet, I wasn't interested at first, but I'm glad I saw it. It has a good story line (thats because it was made after a book!) if you liked Because of Winn-Dixie or Holes, then you'll like this one! Logan Lerman is a surprisingly great actor!

May 26, 2006Although there are some obvious changes from the book, this is a fun family film. It might not have done well in theatres, but it will start getting the credit it is due when it will obviously be shown in Grade 7 science classes.
