Review of Open Season (2006) by Aliya D — 19 Aug 2008
Open Season is another in a long line of recent ho-hum animated kid's movies. It is entertaining, the animation is good, the story is simple. You've seen the story before (or at least it feels like it): Nature versus Man, personal growth, the sensible main character thrown for a twist who picks up a colorful sidekick, blah, blah, blah.
.. There are some very good scenes and some quite funny moments, then there are long slow parts. The surprise is Ashton Kutcher's voice work for Elliot, the wacky sidekick which was pretty good. Martin Lawrence displayed gentle insousance as Boog the Bear, however, I couldn't help but long for Eddie Murphy's madness.
Overall a pleasant diversion but that's about it.
