In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Open Season 2 delivers a non-woke, easygoing romp with no obvious agenda. Safe, silly, and refreshingly free from the kind of “message-driven” storytelling dominating modern Hollywood. Anyone hoping for just an animated animal adventure will not be disappointed.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Open Season 2 is your typical lighthearted family animation with a simple, character-driven narrative. There's no sign of box-checking identities, and the film focuses purely on friendship, adventure, and comedy rather than hammering home any modern ideological points.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't take any swipes at traditional values, family, or masculinity. Characters and relationships are presented in a straightforward, classic way that avoids cultural revisionism or moralizing about modern issues.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's an absence of overt ideology, and traditional or alternative viewpoints aren't mocked or villainized. The humor sticks to slapstick and animal antics, not political messaging. It could hardly be less interested in hot-button issues.
