Genre:
What makes for the ultimate road trip? Hitchhiking, truck stops, angry bears, prickly porcupines and a golfing goose with a duck caddy. Just ask Kate and Humphrey, two wolves who are trying to get home after being taken by park rangers and shipped halfway across the country. Humphrey is an Omega wolf, whose days are about quick wit, snappy one-liners and hanging with his motley crew of fun-loving wolves and video-gaming squirrels. Kate is an Alpha: duty, discipline and sleek Lara Croft eye-popping moves fuel her fire. Humphrey's motto -- make 'em laugh. Kate's motto -- I'm the boss. Back home rival wolf packs are on the march and conflict is brewing. Only Kate and Humphrey can restore the peace. But first, they have to survive each other.

Movies.ie Critic Review
Humphrey (Long) is not so much a lone wolf as a stoner wolf, happy to spend his days in the wild of Canada bobsleighing and hanging out with his equally lazy, hazy friends. His unrequited love, Kate (Panettiere, is none too impressed, but then, she is part of the Alpha wolf pack. And they're all about getting the job done. As trouble brews at home, the two find themselves being swept up in a relocation programme, and must find a way home. You know, just like that Disney movie, about the homeward bound mutts.
THE VERDICT: A film that doesn't even think about giving Pixar a run for their money, Alpha And Omega is your average by-the-numbers kids cartoon that is free of both pretentiousness and ambition. A pawsome adventure, according to the tagline. In shiny 3D, and with an amicable cast handling the amicable dialogue, you can neither get too annoyed or too excited about such an offering. It's there merely to keep the little brats amused for 88 minutes. For some parents, that's all they really need out of a kiddie flick.
