Movie Story


Three middle-schoolers take on greedy land developers, corrupt politicians, and clueless cops in the mystery adventure "Hoot". Based on Carl Hiaasen's Newberry Honor-winning book, "Hoot" revolves around a Montana boy who moves to Florida and unearths a disturbing threat to a local population of endangered owls. Determined to protect his new environment, the boy and his friends fight to prevent the adults from making a big mistake. Packed with surprising plot twists, quirky characters, and offbeat humor, "Hoot" is a classic story that's fun for all ages.

by Barbara Vancheri [Pittsburgh Post-Gazette]
“..an Afterschool Special too crummy to give a hoot about..”
by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly]
“..more like a poor after school special than an adaptation of an award winning children's book..”
by Scott Chitwood [Comingsoon]
