The movie Open Season produced by was a hilarious animated comedy the whole family can enjoy. The characters this movie revolves around are Boog [Martin Lawrence], Elliot [Ashton Kutcher], Beth [Debra Messing], and Shaw [Gary Sinise]. The story takes place in Timberline a rural town with deep and open woods behind it. The woods are perfect for hunting season which is approaching. Boog is a large grizzly bear who lives with a girl named Beth. Beth is a human who owns Boog and keeps him in the garage because its big enough. Together they do shows to entertain the town and all who come to see. When Boog gets too big he has to be released into the wild. However before he gets released he encounters and befriends a small buck named Elliot, together they get into trouble and get released. They must be released and they work as a team to find their way back to Boog’s house. They only have dilemma with their plan; hunting season just started and crazy hunter Shaw is out to get them. The music that was selected for the scenes in Open Season were well chosen. For instance, when there was a sad part in the movie, the music would be sad; same goes for happy scenes. When Elliot and Boog first met and broke into the store, the music was happy and upbeat because they were having fun. After the dam collapsed and Boog got mad at Elliot, he left him. This made both if not all the characters saddened by the separation, which caused the music to become sad to enhance the mood. The editing of the movie was also done nicely. Each scene flowed together well, and they all made sense; there weren’t any scenes out of place or random scenes that didn’t go. Overall the movie was a great show, perfect for families and kids of all ages. I would give it five stars and recommend everyone to see it.
