Open Season 2

Open Season 2 is currently streaming in Australia on BINGE and Foxtel Now, and in the US on Sony Pictures Core Amazon Channel, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. 1,324 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Joel McHale sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on BINGE.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Open Season 2 earns its spot. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Open Season 2 from the crowd. After falling head over hooves in love with Giselle, Elliot's road to the altar takes a slight detour when Mr. Weenie is kidnapped by a group of pampered pets determined to return him to his owners. Between them, Joel McHale and Mike Epps carry the comedy without ever forcing it. Open Season 2 came out in 2008. Open Season 2 earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Open Season 2 is a strong candidate. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Joel McHale is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
