Critic Reviews

Kevin Carr, 7M Pictures
Like the previous film, it doesn't take itself too seriously. It's not high art, but it's fun and silly for kids and families.
Bill Gibron, Filmcritic.com
It's not a classic, but it's not a clunker either.
Nancy Davis Kho, Common Sense Media
Understated sequel still delivers animal laughs.
James Plath, Movie Metropolis
Kids will like it, but adults will wonder, to steal a line from an old TV commercial, "Where's the beef?"
Brian Orndorf, DVDTalk.com
Even though it's cursed with a small budget and a complete overhaul of the voice cast, Season 2 is a gentle charmer, yet even more importantly, it's practically A Night at the Opera compared to the first film.
Brian Webster, Apollo Guide
Extras on the Blu-ray disc include interview and behind the scenes clips with the voice talent, three deleted scenes and a 'how to draw' piece.
Brian Webster, Apollo Guide
Now and again, the humour is quite effective and the spoof of RV road warriors hits the mark, but more often, the jokes are higher on energy than they are on laugh generation.

I might have been able to stand Open Season 2 if it had a good enough story too it because I think the humour was slightly better then the first and a bit more tolerable among adults. Unfortunately, the movie never went anywhere.

The animals from the first Open Season movie find themselves on another adventure as their daschund friend is reclaimed by his owners and they go after him in an effort to rescue him and bring him back to the wild. What I liked about this movie: ok well... there were actually some pretty funny moments in it ranging from characters like Fifi (a male poodle who hates wild animals) to a gas station attendant who has a few funny scenes on his own. The movie also is pretty lighthearted but not as good as the first one

Not as good as the original, but still somewhat entertaining. Kids will enjoy it more than the adults. Some chuckles, but not enough. Wait for it come on tv...

To be honest, I haven't seen the first one yet anyway this straight-to-video CG animation of the sequel is worst because the animated characters look terrible to make in the movie. Elliot, a fast-talking mule deer, is kind of dumb-ass and always have no sense of directions. But I… More
To be honest, I haven't seen the first one yet anyway this straight-to-video CG animation of the sequel is worst because the animated characters look terrible to make in the movie. Elliot, a fast-talking mule deer, is kind of dumb-ass and always have no sense of directions. But I like the scenes of a toy poodle getting torched three times from the electricity.

Sometimes people need to stop after making just one. It was ok, but the first one was a lot more funny and interesting.
Jason O

Better than the disappointing original to me

Crap. Pure straight to video crap. I could say that kids will like it, but the one I watched it with promptly decided that playing Lego batman on the Nintendo DS was more entertaining.
