Synopsis
A happily domesticated grizzly bear named Boog (Martin Lawrence), has his perfect world turned upside down after he meets Elliot (Ashton Kutcher), a scrawny, fast-talking one-horned wild mule deer. They both end up stranded together in the woods during hunting season and it's up to the duo to rally all of the other forests animals and turn the tables on the hunters.
Shaw attempts to shoot Boog and Elliot, but Beth sedates both animals with a tranquilizer gun just before Shaw fires his own gun. Shaw flees before Gordy can arrest him. The two animals are banned from the town and forced into the Timberline National Forest, only three days before open season starts, but they are relocated above the waterfalls, where they will be safe from the hunters. Since he lacks any outdoor survival skills, Boog reluctantly takes Elliot as his accident-prone guide to get him back home to Timberline to reunite with Beth, but in the woods, they quickly learn that animals can be extremely competitive. The two run into their share of forest animals, who think they are pests. The only forest animals they befriend are skunks, Maria and Rosie, ducks, Serge and Deni, various unnamed panic-stricken rabbits, the Scottish-accented squirrel, McSquizzy, along with his roguish gang, Reilly, a beaver and his construction worker team, a porcupine named Buddy that is in search of a friend, and the herd of deer led by Ian and his assistant, Giselle, with whom Elliot is in love.
Plot
In the small town of Timberline, a 900-pound (408 kg) grizzly bear named Boog enjoys a captive, but pampered existence and spends his days as the star attraction of the town's nature show, while at night living in the garage of park ranger Beth, who has raised Boog since he was a cub. One day, the sadistic hunting fanatic Shaw drives into Timberline with a one-antlered deer strapped to the hood of his truck. After Boog frees him, the deer follows Boog home, only to find Boog sleeping in the garage. To wake Boog up, the deer throws rabbits at the window and introduces himself as Elliot. He tells Boog to be "free" from his garage captivity and introduces him to a world of sweet temptations he has never known. When Boog becomes sick from eating too many candy bars, events quickly spiral out of control, as the two raid a local convenience store. Elliot escapes before Boog is caught by a friend of Beth's, local police officer Gordy. At the nature show, Elliot, being chased by Shaw, sees Boog, who "attacks" Elliot. This causes the whole audience to panic.Shaw attempts to shoot Boog and Elliot, but Beth sedates both animals with a tranquilizer gun just before Shaw fires his own gun.

Critic reviews
From some of the folks behind The Lion King and Monsters, Inc comes a zany animated flick about the oddest of couples, inspired by the work of cartoonist Steve Moore. Full review

Fatally lacking laughs and a real sense of adventure, this is a sporadically funny and awkwardly animated curiosity. Full review
