Oh sure, the squirrels are Scottish for some reason, but they missed the boat on making the beavers Canadian, eh!

New voice cast but still funny. Joel McHale sounds a lot like Ashton Kutcher, I never noticed that until now.

The animation is good, but has that direct-to-DVD look about it. Otherwise, almost as good as the first one. Really, nothing to complain about here, I laughed and had a good time and so will you.

Our furry friends awaken from hibernation just in time for Elliot and Giselle's spring wedding. But in the middle of the ceremony Elloit, voiced by John McHale, gets cold feet. He thinks Mr. Weenie, voiced by Cody Cameron, is being captured by an evil women, who in actuality is his former owner. Giselle suggest putting the wedding on hold to search for Mr. Weenie. Elliot and the rest of the forest gang agree. So they set out on a dangerous and exciting quest to find their friend. My favorite characters are Fifi voiced by Crispin Glover because even though he is small in size. He has a big "I'm in charge" attitude. I also like Giselle, voiced by Jan Krakowski, because she is pretty, graceful, smart and a great tracker. My favorite scene is when Giselle and McSquizzy disguise themselves as dogs to sneak into Pet Paradiso. That is brilliant! I rate this movie 5 out of 5 stars. I recommend this movie to kids of all ages. Because it is funny and it has a silly plot. Reviewed by Ny'Asia Bell, age 8, KIDS FIRST!

"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.
