“Oh, jeepers!” — Catherine O’Hara, voice of Penny Porcupine in Over the Hedge. Anyone who’s seen Christopher Guest’s films “Waiting for Guffman”, “Best in Show”, and “A Mighty Wind” will easily recognise O’Hara, and Eugene Levy’s voice as her husband, Lou Porcupine. Various reviews (including comments on the film’s adult-oriented parodies) abound. (Some factoids about the film.) But will kids like it? I’d say yes. The kids won’t notice the heavy-handedness or the dubiousness of the messages, they’ll be suitably entertained.
“Jeepers!” — there are a lot of Canadians in this film (William Shatner is a possum, Avril Lavigne is his offspring).
I haven’t been able to get the phrase out of my head since watching this comic diversion last Sunday.
If only “Over the Hedge” were playing overhead this afternoon — that is, on the ceiling of the doctor’s office when I was trying to ignore the fact that a Pap smear was being conducted down below by a young male physician.
“Jeepers!” — that thing is cold!
“Jeepers!” — are you finished yet?
“JEE-PERS!”
