Critic Reviews

Chicago Tribune - Michael Wilmington

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. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine - Angel Cohn

Though silly and predictable, this animated comedy has stunning visuals, a catchy soundtrack and charming characters that are family-friendly crowd-pleasers. Read full review

Variety - Justin Chang

A witty, warmly crafted chestnut. Read full review

Boston Globe - Janice Page

As cartoon rip-offs go, Open Season can be surprisingly entertaining, in a made-for-6-year-olds kind of way. Read full review

L.A. Weekly - Gregg Rickman

On the plus side, Open Season enjoys a clear narrative, real rooting interest and good interspecies rapport. On the downside, there’s a surfeit of cruel bunny-rabbit gags. Read full review

The A.V. Club - Keith Phipps

No one makes it out of this laughless mess unscathed. Read full review

San Francisco Chronicle - Peter Hartlaub

This is the animated children's film equivalent of "Another 48 Hours." Read full review

Great and charming film. The story was original and the animation had a cool Hanna-Barbera 3-d look to it.

Great fun for the kids and adults! The animation is great and the colors jump from the screen. Great family fun.

This movie starts off well and ends well, it is the middle that struggles. I am uncertain how you can make a kids movie too long, but they did it. The middle drags and drags and when it finally finds its comical tune the song is over.

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.
