| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussThe stylized character design is witty and pleasing; these creatures not only look but move funny. |
| TV Guide MagazineAngel CohnThough silly and predictable, this animated comedy has stunning visuals, a catchy soundtrack and charming characters that are family-friendly crowd-pleasers. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanGiven that so many people have dismissed Ashton Kutcher as a superficial pretty boy, it seems a little ironic that his best work this week is two-dimensional: He makes a passable action hero in "The Guardian," but he's downright adorable in Open Season, a cheerful animated comedy built on his winningly loose voice performance. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonMartin 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. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookIs it just me, or are the CGI critters multiplying at an astounding rate? |
| Rochester Democrat and ChronicleJack GarnerThe tale, is very familiar but is freshened by amusing dialogue, with laughs for both the youngsters and the adults who accompany them. |
| Orlando SentinelRoger MooreIt's not deep and not totally original. But Open Season is whiplash quick with the gags and spot-on with the funny voices. |

| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekNo classic but not a disaster...by comparison to the recent competition it hits the target, if not the bull's-eye. |
| Sun Publications (Chicago, IL)Josh LarsenI never imagined I would be able to not only endure, but even enjoy, the combined presence of Martin Lawrence and Ashton Kutcher. |
