Hoot has a big heart and a generous disposition, but not much wisdom for a movie about owls.
Hoot in retrospect won’t really offer your children anything they haven’t already seen, and it’s just another preachy environmental film that talks down to them.
Hoot may be warm and fuzzy with its adorable owls, triumphant kids and inviting Florida groves.

 Hoot (2006): Reviews
Hoot is flatly directed by talk-show-host-turned-sitcom-director Wil Shriner, but the young actors are spirited and appealing, and the movie's low-key anti-establishment posture is vastly preferable to the knee-jerk fulminations of a Michael Moore.
Hoot may be warm and fuzzy with its adorable owls, triumphant kids and inviting Florida groves.
Earnest, playful and eco-friendly, Hoot is a worthwhile visit for the tween set, but parents may role their eyes more than once at this flightless film.

It didn't take me as long to write HOOT as it does to write the other novels, partly because it was slightly shorter and partly because the plot wasn't quite as multi-layered.
None of the characters in HOOT are based on real people, but the setting is very much borrowed from own childhood.
HOOT was no different from the adult fiction in that respect.

"Hoot" is rated PG for mild bullying and brief language.
I know "Hoot" is supposed to be fanciful to some degree, but it came across as quite lame.
Overall, "Hoot" was just very poorly executed, especially when you compare it to other recent children's book adaptations like "Because of Winn-Dixie." I really wanted to walk out of the theater halfway through the film.

 Movie Review: Hoot | Mountain Xpress | mountainx.com
Hoot is based on a young-adult novel by Carl Hiaasen, a passionate conservationist who's famous for using demented humor in his adult novels to skewer Florida's obsessive over-development.
The closest Hoot comes to being demented is the scene where alligators are found in the construction site's porta-potties -- and even that is handled with politically correct restraint.
Hoot does include Hiaasen's usual cast of greedy land developers, clueless politicians and doofus law enforcers -- all of whom are adults -- so kids should appreciate that.

So when a movie like "Hoot" comes around I'm always sure to check it out to see if is something I want my family to see.
"Hoot" is an excellent family film, which focuses on the efforts of three school age kids, Roy (Logan Lerman), 'Mullet Fingers (Cody Linley) and Beatrice (Brie Larson), who take it upon themselves to save some endangered burrowing owls from land developers.
Hiaasen, by the way, was the author of the original novel, "Hoot." There are also a handful of featurettes, some of which focus on the director working on the set as well as Buffett's work in the feature.

Hoot, adapted from Carl Hiaasen's Newbery Honor award-winning book, is the story of three middle-school kids who come together in a quest to save some burrowing owls from destruction at the hands of Chuck Muckle, an empire-building pancake house executive.
Hoot is, in a way, like a case study in the concept of dominion.
In addition to a good message about stewardship, Hoot is the rare film that includes a boy wanting to follow in his father's footsteps — to be (in a way) an administrator of justice.

 IGN: Hoot Review
Hoot's story centers on perpetual new kid on the block Roy Eberhart (Logan Lerman), a Montana-bred newcomer to the comfortably petite coastal burg of Coconut Grove, Florida, who finds his first day of middle school rudely interrupted by chubby bully Dana Matherson (Eric Phillips).
To enjoy Hoot you have to ignore questions as to why such an avaricious company would really pick such an out-of-the-way spot, far from any interstate off-ramp, for its next chain restaurant, and turn your brain off as to the feasibility of both "Mullet Fingers"' schemes and ongoing anonymity.
Hoot arrives on DVD in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio, enhanced for widescreen televisions, which preserves the aspect ratio of its original theatrical presentation.

 DVD Review - Hoot   (Site not responding. Last check: )
"Hoot" is on par with a typical live action Disney movie (excluding the two that star Johnny Depp).
I commend "Hoot" for utilizing the power of film to convey its message, it just didn't move me the way other movies have.
From an entertainment standpoint, I don't think "Hoot" has the '30-year-old movie buff' demographic in mind, and that was naturally a setback for me. New Line certainly delivered on the DVD side of things.

 Reviews: Hoot - Christianity Today Movies
At the beginning of Hoot, the film version of Carl Hiaasen's Newbery Honor-winning book, Roy Eberhardt (Logan Lerman) is riding the bus for his first day at a new school.
"Hoot is indeed inherently educational, but along with teaching the positives of teamwork and environmental responsibility, it also confirms for kids that lying and cheating are acceptable—even desirable—when it comes to doing great things with your life.
Meanwhile, Lisa Rice (Crosswalk) is one critic willing to sing Hoot's praises, saying it's "well-written, produced, and acted, and delivers a notable family film experience void of the usual trash seen in other teen fare such as Scary Movie 4.

 Hoot
Mullet Fingers seemed to me like a mythic character that transcends the normal while Roy is the well-grounded kid who takes his father’s advice to follow the paper trail to resolve the conflict between corporate greed and concern for nature.
Hoot is a film with a message accompanied by a sparkling sound track with original songs by Jimmy Buffett who appears in the movie as Roy’s marine biology teacher.
I thought HOOT was a good movie even though it had many negative images.

Hoot's greatest weakness is its willingness to use end-justifies-the-means reasoning for the tweens' actions.

 Hoot (2006) - Starring Luke Wilson, Logan Lerman, Brie Larson, Cody Linley
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.
Author Carl Hiaasen’s 2002 book Hoot was his first for young readers after delighting grownup audiences over the last two decades with such satiric, salty, adult-flavored bestsellers as Strip Tease, Stormy Weather, Skinny Dip and seven others novels dating back to his 1986 debut, Tourist Season.
In addition to his legacy as one of the country’s most popular, prolific and successful singer/songwriters, the Grammy-nominated Buffett is also a best-selling author and novelist in his own right.

 Iran Says New Missile Test Successful
The new torpedo, called the "Hoot," or "whale," could raise concerns over Iran's power in the Gulf, a vital corridor for the world's oil supplies and where the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet is based.
Ali Fadavi, deputy head of the Revolutionary Guards' navy, said the ships that fire the Iranian-made Hoot had radar-evading technology and that the torpedo - moving at 223 miles per hour - was too fast to elude.
The Hoot's speed would make it about three or four times faster than a normal torpedo and as fast as the world's fastest known underwater missile, the Russian-made VA-111 Shkval, developed in 1995.

Hoot, Carl Hiaasen's first book for younger readers is part mystery, part slapstick comedy and is a totally satisfying and truly environmentally friendly novel.
But Hoot is not just pure farce—and that is what makes it such an interesting novel—it also explores the way that any number of corrupt and greedy adults view the world as theirs to plunder no matter the consequences.
Most importantly, Hoot is a book about kids trying to change their world, to expose and take on corporate corruption.

 Hoot's Pin-fin Waterblock
My only criticism is that the outlet is a bit too close to the adjacent mobo mounting stud.

Hoot's waterblock is better than almost all commercially available waterblocks, and its performance is not dependant on having a large pump (relatively speaking, it does better at low flows).

I've also started adding arcade games that Hoot supports, but won't host the sets for these as they are large and easy to find (current MAME roms will do, unfortunately M1 sets won't be 100% compatible, as RBelmont hasn't updated his player in a while).
Oh, and if anyone has questions concerning the site, Hoot or the like, or if you want to contribute a missing set (which would be really swelle), feel free to mail me.

Hoot has been attacked by conservative critics for promoting eco-terrorism--a charge most viewers may find overheated--but the movie's real weakness isn't political but artistic; the clumsy dialogue barely sounds like human speech and the plot takes some hard-to-believe turns.
Hoot, like these films, is very true to the spirit of the Carl Hiaasen text and like those films is an excellent movie to see even without having read the books (if you choose THAT strange path.)
Hoot is the story of an ecological mystery, with a Florida setting and pro-environment, anti-development message made up of endangered miniature owls, heartless developers scheduled to be built over their burrows, and the owls' unlikely allies--three middle school kids determined to beat the system, getting grown-up attention and save some owls.
