Review of Open Season

Open Season is yet another in the long recent line of computer animated films dealing with animals on the loose. Like Madagascar and Over The Hedge before it, there is almost enough in the film to make it more for adults than kids. Unlike those two examples, however, this film never really rises above the pack and sets itself apart as a great film. There are some really funny parts including a piece devoted to going to the bathroom in the woods, but ultimately the film just bogs down in its been there done that storyline. Undoubtedly kids will get a real kick out of the animals and their highjinks but I can't see this film having the real lasting power of the classics of the genre.
