Chicago Tribune
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. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
Despite that nagging whiff of familiarity, there are enough character quirks and inspired bits of funny business to carry this amiable if slight tale. - 70
Variety
A witty, warmly crafted chestnut. - 60
Washington Post
With a slick visual style similar to "Monster House", Open Season trots out tropes that recent animated classics have done with more wit and smarts. - 60
Los Angeles Times
An amusing if slight excursion into nature with a group of animals who turn the tables on their collective nemeses, the hunters. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
The overfamiliar Open Season feels like just another CG 'toon in our 'toon-glutted times. - 50
L.A. Weekly
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. - 50
The New York Times
Periodic bursts of cleverness and eye-popping imagery, further enhanced in the 3-D Imax version, can't disguise that this is just another movie full of jive-talking computer-generated animals with little new to say.
