New kid Roy Eberhardt (Logan Lerman) is not faring well at his new school in Coconut Grove, Florida. His family recently relocated from his beloved Montana, and immediately Roy has found himself on the bad side of school bullies Dana (Eric Phillips) and Beatrice 'The Bear' (Brie Larson). However, when he catches sight of a blonde wild boy running barefoot through the streets, Roy is drawn into some strange and unique events in his new home. There have been odd occurrences taking place on the plot of land soon to be occupied by Mother Paula's Pancake House, whereby someone is perpetrating just enough vandalism to interfere with the restaurant's opening and in turn, driving the foreman, Mr Muckle (Clark Gregg in a hilarious turn) crazy. After eventually winning Beatrice's friendship, Roy meets the culprit: her stepbrother - Mullet Fingers (Cody Linley). The young lad has taken it upon himself to stop the construction and save the rare burrowing owls that live on the premises. As the three ecological vigilantes resort to ever more drastic measures to save the owls, Roy realises their only hope lies in bringing the issue to the public's attention. Jimmy Buffet makes his debut as a producer in this ecologically minded family film, based on the best-selling novel by Carl Hiaasen. Charming, fun and carrying an important message, HOOT overcomes its more incredible aspects through an irresistible good humour that audiences can't help but be swept along by. Luke Wilson (BOTTLE ROCKET) steals the show as a bumbling man-child who somehow managed to become a police officer, while Buffet himself appears as a kindly, laid-back, marine biology teacher.

OK
Generally a bit lame. My daughter who asked for it even found it a bit dull. Harmless family viewing though.
