Critic Reviews

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

Justin Chang

A witty, warmly crafted chestnut. Read full review

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

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

Keith Phipps

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

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.

Whether it's cliche or not, this is a really good movie. when it comes to movies, I usually hate cliche movies, but this is an exception because this moral was explained in a different way, and they nailed jokes. 9/10

A decent and, yet, enjoyable film for 2006. Open Season opens the film featuring a bear and a deer teaming up against the human hunters. Oh... very original! I want another theatrical film of this franchise.

Open Season closes interest.
A likeable but somewhat empty tale of a bear and a buck. There is no astounding storyline, or incredible animation. From beginning to end Open Season leaves the door open but never looks inside.
