Open Season

We took Savanah to see this one this past weekend when the weather was bad. She really seemed to enjoy it, but at 5, pretty much anything with animated animals is a good movie. Based on her reactions to the movie, however, I can say without a doubt that it wasn't one of her favorites. When we left Over the Hedge, that was all we heard about for a week. When she watched The Wild, she watched it over and over again until I took the DVD away for a much needed break. When she watched The Little Mermaid, she kept rewinding the songs to sing over and over and came up to tell me when Neptune was turned into a weed and Ursala took over, then again when Ursala was stopped. I haven't heard a peep from her about Open Season, which to me, means she enjoyed it, but it wasn't anything special.

I'd say I have to agree with her. It was cute, entertaining and funny at parts, but after leaving the theater you were left with a feeling of "so what." I don't feel we wasted our time, especially considering the rainy day, but it also isn't something I'm going to rush out and buy either. It was just OK.
