Movie Review: **Open Season

This is the story of a grizzly, Boog (Martin Lawrence), and his sidekick the deer, Elliot (Ashton Kutcher).  Add a crazed hunter (Gary Sinise) and a disturbed ranger (Debra Messing) who is overly attached to the bear, and you have the making of a strange movie.  The movie tries to mimic the relationship between Shrek and donkey, but it comes up really short, and just doesn't seem to work.  It makes a big deal of potty humor, which is a clear sign that this movie is going no place.
