Open Season 2 (2008)
5/10
Not even close, the first one was way better

Warning: Spoilers
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.
