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. And they have a thousand miles to go. 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. (official distributor synopsis)

A variation on the "Romeo and Juliet" story, except here it's essentially wild dogs, and also it's an animated comedy for children. It has a family-friendly facade, but this is really primarily for children. Adults won't find much to enjoy here. Even though there are moments of supposed tension, it's clear from the beginning how each scene will turn out. There's no innovation even in the animation, which is polished but empty.

Compared to the animated films of today, this one is really lame. There was no great adventure here and is it completely lacking humor. The story is not engaging for a young child, let alone an adult. The animation is not particularly well done either. I feel that this is more of a romance for children... which doesn’t quite make sense. For me, a good candidate for worst animated film of the last 10 years... barely 2 stars.

An example of routinely produced animated kitsch devoid of a shred of originality and artistic invention, compounded by the worst possible handling of computer animation. Overall impression: 20%.
