loved it great fun did not get the respect it was due will last for years with a great message
posted by bobc on Aug 22, 2008Fun Family Film "Hoot" is about three middle shoolers, Roy Eberhardt, Mullet Fingers, and Beatrice Leep ganging up to save endangered burrowing owls from the Mother Paula's All-American Pancake Hose Construction Site. I thought the movie was good. It wasn't awesome, but it wasn't really bad. I am writing a movie review for school so tell me how that is so far.
