  1. Martin Lawrence and Ashton Kutcher may seem like an odd-sounding comedy team, but in some weird way, they click as voice-actors and cartoon buddies in Open Season.
  2. Given that so many people have dismissed Ashton Kutcher as a superficial pretty boy, it seems a little ironic that his best work this week is two-dimensional: He makes a passable action hero in "The Guardian," but he's downright adorable in Open Season, a cheerful animated comedy built on his winningly loose voice performance.

    An amusing if slight excursion into nature with a group of animals who turn the tables on their collective nemeses, the hunters.
  4. 38
    For an inaugural effort, Open Season ain't bad, but the studio shows far more promise with its gee-whiz visuals than it does in the story department.

    Great and charming film. The story was original and the animation had a cool Hanna-Barbera 3-d look to it.
  2. Open Season is a very funny animated comedy. There is enough charm and funny moments to make this worth watching. The story is okay, which is the only real weak point. Expand

    Cute, even if it's bursting with cliches.

    Mildly funny and at least half-decent, but sooo unimportant and forgettable when there are such better, less cliched movies out there.
