"Hoot Success"?
Does anyone really think "Hoot" will be a great cinematic success? The music is great, but the storyline is not very plausible. Personally, I liked the movie but, I think it will be out on DVD very soon.

it was only on at the theater here in town for one week. it's already gone. i saw it at one of the special previews and the music is fantastic and the story idea is good. It just wasn't that great of a movie. but I will still get it on dvd when it comes out. I have the soundtrack (thanks CBS!) and the keet and i both love it!

Okay, maybe I spend too much time with kiddos but I liked it and thought it was cute. I wasn't ecpecting a total box office hit so maybe that's why I'm happier with the story than othes. The soundtrack ROCKS tho. ANd, I'll buy the DVD when it does come out.

I am so tired of adults bashing the movie.... its a simple kids movie.... and yes, the book was better but so what?
I still think they should have marketed it as an Afternoon Special. It would be perfect!

I only saw about 10 minutes of the movie. Yes I realize it is a kids movie but from what I saw wasn't a very good one. The soundtrack is pure torture. I agree this would have been better as some sort of afterschool special instead of a full blown hollywood movie. Just my opinion. I really hope I'm not turining into Larry

It is not a simple kids movie. It is Hiassen using a kids book/movie to make a political point...and I'm not saying that is right or wrong, I'm just calling it what it is.ToplessRideFL wrote:So nice to hear...ccmatt wrote:I thought it was a great kids movie. More importantly, so did my kids.

Ice Age is a simple kids movie. Over the Hedge is a simple kids movie. Hoot is not.
BTW, Hoot has grossed $7.3M, and was pulled from 2,200 theatres. Even with a $16M budget, the movie is a bust.
