Write An Essay On The Movie Hoot

Released in 2006, the movie Hoot kind of had some drama thrown in, but the little bit of comedy, and the choice of music made it great. The movie is about a young boy named Roy Eberhart (Logan Lerman) that has to move around a lot because of his father’s work. Roy moves to a little town in Florida called Coconut Cove. While he is on his bus ride to school, he see’s a strange boy running with no shoes. The next day, Roy follows the boy, meets him, and develops a friendship with him. The boy’s name is Mullet fingers (Cody Linley), and he is trying to save baby owls’ homes from being destroyed by the construction of a new pancake house. Mullet fingers, his sister Bea Leep (Brie Larson), and Roy have to devise a plan to save the owls. The movie, overall, was quite good. I thought that their choice of music was pretty clever. I mean, it was a little cheesy, but it was also a little funny how they managed to get a song that related to what they were doing. When Mullet fingers was running beside the bus barefoot, they played the song Barefootin, which I thought was pretty funny.
While the movie was good, it was a little predictable.
I think that this would be a good movie for children, not so much for adults because it’s pretty easy to figure out that they’ll save the owls. The movie was a little corny too. Sometimes the actors didn’t really seem like they were into it. It seemed like they were just directly reading off their scripts. Hoot has a little bit of drama in it. It’s not extremely dramatic, but I think that it has just the right amount. The director (Wil Shriner) did a good job at knowing how much drama to throw in. Some comedy was also in the movie, and that made the movie better. I don’t usually watch dramatic movies, but this was one that I liked. Comedy movies are my favorite, so I think that’s probably why I liked it as much as I
did. I would give this movie 4 stars. It was a great children’s movie, but you have to admit it was a little corny at times.
