Movie Review: Open Season

This animated movie tells the story of a bear raised in captivity who suddenly finds himself alone and stranded in the wild as a result of some wild and crazy behavior with a one-antler reject deer. Determined to make it back to the "comforts of home" (i.e. a toilet, comfy bed in the garage, and fish biscuits) he manages to alienate himself and his trusty companion from all of the other forest animals. In the end, redemption comes from saving the forest from the hunters during open season- hense the title of the movie- in a truly histerical battle where roles are reversed from hunter to hunted. (And yes, the bear is armed with a toilet plunger in the picture above.) In addition to great animation, celebrity voices, and memorable characters, this movie also sports some fantastic one-liners. If you like crazy, random humor and squirrels with "So I Married An Ax Murderer"-esque scottish accents, this is definitely the movie for you. So if you're in the mood for Monty Python type humor, Open Season is a great choice- just make sure you're in the mood...
