Clevercell Very disappointing...

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . of massive proportions designed to kill negative publicity for an upcoming DreamWorks animation feature? You be the judge. If you survey the "Message Boards" for the DreamWorks current release MR. PEABODY AND SHERMAN, you will notice that many threads castigate DreamWorks for its last-minute substitution of the 4-minute short ABOUT HOME, directed by OPEN SEASON 2 Co-director Todd Wilderman--for the previously announced updated episode of ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE (the beloved TV show of which the original MR. PEABODY AND SHERMAN episodes were only a small part). Paying theater patrons felt shortchanged, not only because DreamWorks went back on its promise, but also because the ABOUT HOME short was so lacking in story and animation quality. If the "Scrat" shorts done to promote the ICE AGE feature cartoon series merit 9 or 10 on a scale of 10, rating ABOUT HOME at 1 or 2 would be overly generous. The Scrat shorts had pages on IMDb allowing user ratings the day they were first released. Somehow, the firestorm of criticism regarding ABOUT HOME is only bubbling up through back channels, as it is the first widely-distributed American domestic film since IMDb was created to succeed SOMEHOW (bribes? nepotism? corporate blackmail?) in NOT being available to "take its medicine" on its own designated page. Do not spend your money on OPEN SEASON 2 or any other DreamWorks product UNTIL this scandal is cleared up!

kai ringler our funny animals are back for another round in the sequel to Open season,, I wish that the writers would have had a different storyline,,, because this one didn't click with me,, one of our favorite characters is in love and very happy,, our little deer friend is boasting about his rack / antlers,, and when he falls down his rack breaks,, and therefore his pride,, the "girl" he is interested in wants him to marry her,, and he has a big fear of commitment,, meanwhile, one of our animals is kidnapped by some human pet lovers,, trying to convert him to make him a "Pet" and not a wild animal, so all of the animal kingdom get together to try and find their friend,,, it would seems to me that this sequel was rushed and put out the door as soon as poosible,, this could have been a better movie with a different storyline,, I din't hate the movie,, there is some very funny stuff in here, and some parts are rather enjoyable to watch,, but as a whole the movie does disappoint.

mergatroid-1 The first movie in this series was pretty funny. A nice lady spoils a funny bear. Bear is befriended by a funnier deer. Bear gets run out of town, but open season is upon them.The really funny stuff is when all the forest animals get back at the hunters.The sequel does not occur during open season, so why they called it Open Season 2 is beyond me. Other than having the same characters it has nothing to do with open season.The story is kind of lame (Mr Weenie is taken back by his owners and the forest animals go off to find him).To top it all off, Ashton Kutcher is not playing Elliot, and the guy who replaces him (Joel McHale) is nowhere near as good at it.I had not read much about this movie before picking it up, and had an idea it might have something to do with the hunters coming back for revenge (thus Open Season 2). Once I saw the cover though, I knew it would be more cute than funny.The rest of the animal characters are pretty cool. The poodle Fifi was down right scary, reminded me of Hannibal. Of course Georgette Franklin Baxter as Mr Weenie's owner is always a treat.Sure, go ahead and buy it for the kids, but this time the adults might want to find something else to do while the kids watch.

Bram Van Rompaey I'm an animator myself... so thereby an animation geek. I really liked the first open season movie. Didn't love it.... but liked it. When I saw it again a couple of weeks ago I thought it didn't feel as good as it did the first time. The story isn't just good enough to watch more then once... maybe twice. But I absolutely loved the look and design of the film. So when Open Season 2 was lying in the shelfs at the local DVD store I bought it right away. Hoping it would be as good or hopefully better then the first one. Just a nice animated film with some humor. I expected nothing more nothing less. But Open season 2 is a real let down. All I can say is that it feels like the just didn't rewrite the script. Stuck with all there first ideas and just rushed it out the door. Even the animation doesn't feel as solid as the first movie. It had some funny moments and some really nice characters. But it wasn't worth the money I paid for it. Maybe kids will love this... but as an adult... just don't expect to see a movie that will have the extra layer so you to can enjoy it as much as your kid would. Still... Boog the bear... for me is one of the best designs of a bear ever.
