Hoot Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Toddy Burton
Parents may role their eyes more than once at this flightless film.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
Younger kids will find the pranks and schemes funny, while the enviro-activist theme is an important message to which they may just latch on. The eco-responsibility part, not the venomous snake part, one hopes.
New York Times
Dana Stevens
This sweet-natured but plodding adaptation of a young-adult novel by Carl Hiaasen could have used a little less broad satire of corporate greed and a few more, well, owls. The critters peep from their burrows for only a few brief moments.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
It would be a nice little family film if not for the fact that the young heroes commit felonies in the name of saving the environment.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
There is nothing objectionable in this family film, but it doesn't seem to appreciate the intelligence and savvy of its youthful audience. Kids can spot a silly stereotypical character as fast as the rest of us.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
But while Hoot's pro-environment message to kids is certainly worthy, the unquestioning, pro-vigilante angle doesn't sit entirely well.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
Fun to watch although falling short of a real hoot, this latest in a barrage of family movies largely succeeds at keeping the kiddies entertained and their parents from nodding off.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
One wishes that a film about the fight against a bland restaurant chain were more piquant. But movies for tweens, like burrowing owls, are an endangered species that need preservation.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
The movie pretends to take a kids' point of view, but it treats kids like idiots.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
I question the message of Hoot, a family movie that tacitly encourages kids to vandalize property and behave like little ecoterrorists.
Miami Herald
Peter Debruge
Hiaasen's sense of humor loses something in the translation. What's side-splitting on the page becomes silly on the screen.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
The movie is unessential at best. But the Everglades -- and the owls that live nearby -- are irresistible.
Detroit News
Tom Long
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 away from major felonies.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
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 knowledge is actually imparted.
Zap2it.com
Daniel Fienberg
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 delirious nastiness.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
While Hoot has heart -- subtlety turns out to be endangered.
Dallas Morning News
Nancy Churnin
This is a story about kids and nature, with strong messages about standing up to bullies, facing conflicts and why it is important to stand up for both the people and creatures that need protection.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
Leaden direction sinks this adaptation of Carl Hiaasen's award-winning novel for young adults.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Hoot tells kids they can make a difference in this world, and that's worth a hundred Ice Age 2's.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
the superficial approach to the issues and casual attitude toward dangerous and illegal behavior by the kids undermines the story's credibility.
