Open Season 2

Elliott (Joel McHale) is getting married to Giselle (Jane Krakowski). His rack of antlers is broken once again. Dog Mr Weenie has escaped his owners to be wild. When his owners recapture him, Elliott decide to rescue him. The gang of wild animals must journey to the pet resort before Mr Weenie is completely brainwashed.

First off, they recast the voices. It's obvious that this is a franchise being downgraded. The animation hasn't changed. The level of danger is much lower. The stakes at risk seems much lower. It is full of bright colors but dull silly story. It's definitely a franchise lowering their expectations.

I don't want to spend too much time on this one simply because it doesn't deserve it. Well the movie has a weak storyline and all every twist felt like we knew that it'd happen. so story is a disappointment, which ultimately let down the whole movie watching experience. Compared to its first part movie fails to capture our attention though there are some moments of laughter all because of 'Eli the goose' but lack of twists and aimless story creates a dullness so totally trash it.. it is a let down on behalf of the first part. and it is painful when you admired the first one.

why watch it??

1- if you are great fan of the first part. 2- Good for kids.. who doesn't want to meet a bear like BOOG in their childhood. 3- If you love CGI animation. 4- Your friend is letting you borrow this title then it is OK to kill one hours time viewing it. 5- if you don't bother about the story at all.

The bear is super adorable but the dumb deer & the white poodle kill it because they're too irritating. This one has too much focus on the mean poodle & the clutsy dumb deer. I need more of the lovable bear. I will stick to the first one.

This animation is about a bunch of wild animals who goes on a trip to rescue their previously domesticated friend, who got recaptured by is owner.

I find "Open Season 2" very similar to "Shrek", but a lot simpler and aimed at younger viewers. The story is fun and engaging. The dog, Mr Weenie is fun, and I like his German accent! Fifi makes me laugh too, as the vanity and beauty of Fifi clashes with his masculine voice and aggressive character. I liked the story as it celebrates friendship, and shows that sometimes it takes teamwork to achieve a common goal. The merry mishaps along the way are fun to watch.

"Open Season" shocked me. I had very low expectations but ended up really enjoying the film. And, as a result, I did something I rarely do....I saw the sequel. However, when it began I realized there was a big problem...the voice actors are all different. Were Martin Lawrence and Ashton Kutcher THAT expensive that they couldn't afford them again?! Or, did Sony Studios simply offer us a cynical film...much like the many, many unnecessary sequels to "Madagascar"? After all, this one and its sequel were all released direct to DVD.

The second thing I noticed after I saw the voice actors were different is that the CGI was poor--worse than the original film which was made two years earlier. In fact, some of the characters (such as Giselle) were just plain ugly...poorly rendered and cheap looking.

So far, I was NOT impressed. Perhaps the story itself is worth seeing....right?! Well, perhaps...perhaps not. I did not appreciate that the plot revolved around Mr. Weenie--a minor charcter from the first film. Boog and Elliot were GREAT characters yet the film emphasizes Weenie...which is odd. Overall, a disappointing and unnecessary film that lacked the charm and originality and quality of the first movie.
