She saw it once and couldnt stop talking about it, of course she refers to it as Open "Sneezin" lol. That was all she talked about for weeks so I got it for her for christmas and she loves it.

Open Season (Full Screen Special Edition)
Added 1/18/2010
A grizzly bear named Boog, domesticated by a park ranger, Beth, helps deer friend Elliot escape from the mullet-sporting hunter, Shaw. When the Elliot decides to return the favor to help Boog escape from Beth he finds that Boog is very happy with his domesticated home. After a misunderstanding, Beth is convinced that Boog is reverting to his wild nature and releases him in the woods just as hunting season begins. Boog has no idea how to survive outside of his garage home with his beloved Beth. Elliott and Boog develop a strong bond not only between themselves but also with the wild animals and attempt to drive the hunters out of the forest. This movie is outstanding, and it is incredibly funny. This movie I highly recommend to anyone with children regardless of their ages.

Your hunt for a fun movie stops here!
Added 10/16/2009
Well, it's not quite up to the magic of the best Pixar movies, but it was certainly a worthy effort as Sony Animation's first movie feature. Here's the upside and the downside for ya.
The Upside:
Great animation. I could tell early on by the detail in Boog's fur that the creators were using state-of-the-art technology.
Some really rockin' original songs made just for the soundtrack. I haven't enjoyed rockin' out to the credits so much in a long time. I purchased the soundtrack CD just last week, and it's a lot of fun.
The DVD includes the premium extras one expects from an epic sort of animated feature. There's the "making of" documentary, an additional short feature related to the movie, and a commentary track.
There's some really great gags in this movie.
The Downside:
I thought the bear was cliche. Boog reminded me of part Baloo from The Jungle Book and part Sugar Bear from the cereal commercials that all Baby Boomers should be familiar with. At least this character did change and grow during the story.
The other characters seemed rather one-dimensional, and much of the the humor seemed forced. I wish we'd learned more about Elliot's background. Much of the relationship between Boog and Elliot reminded me of the relationship between Shrek and Donkey. I don't have the cinematography vocabulary to describe why so much of this movie sort of worked but didn't become magical like the great 3D classics like Toy Story or Up.
But the bottom line is that this movie is a lot of fun, and it stands up to a second viewing and a it's worthwhile to watch the commentary track too, and that counts for a lot.
