Fun 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.
