The Angry Birds Movie (Blu-ray + DVD)

This movie is very fun for adults and kids alike. It is so funny and I would highly recommend it.

very funny

Considering the movie is based on a game, it's surprisingly great! I took my five year old son -- who is obsessed with Angry Birds -- to see it and planned to daydream the whole time. I was too busy laughing! The story is interesting, the characters are cute, and the puns. Oh my, the puns! Everything from one bird asking, "Are you sick? Bird flu? Chicken pox?" to the yoga pose, "Downward duck" instead of "Downward dog." I have a couple of minor issues that are personal preference.One character says "Oh my God" a lot, in a funny way, and at funny times. As I try to dissuade my children from saying this, it was a battle afterward to get them to stop. Additionally, one of the puns is "flock my life." My kids didn't pick that up, thankfully.Overall, it's a great movie, and I purchased it as soon as it came out. My son squealed loud enough to make the theater laugh when the birds first used the skills they're known for. They got some amazing actors (including the guy who did the voice for Olaf and Peter Dinklage) and nothing seemed forced. We watch it at least once a month.

We love angry birds

I can understand why a lot of people did not like this, due to several things. It does have a lot of "fake" cussing and sexual innuendos, and does sort of teach that anger is a solution. (Sometimes it can be, and in this case I think was an appropriate response. I was just a little surprised given how it started.) As to whether it's appropriate for kids... I think it depends on the kid and you would have to judge for yourself. Older kids are far more likely to pick up on some things, and very young kids probably won't get it on most of that stuff. The ones in between, depends on the kid. How smart are your kids? Apparently the writer writes for The Simpsons and King of the Hill, so maybe bear that in mind.I don't have any kids so if I watch a kids' movie, it's for me, and I'm not going to want something that was intended for 5 year olds as that would be boring as heck to me. (I don't assume animated movies are for kids. And I just can't imagine they made this for 5 year olds.) I enjoyed this movie. It wasn't great, but it was pretty good, and many parts were amusing or downright funny. I guess it depends on your sense of humor. I certainly am not going to claim, like one reviewer did, that if you don't think this is funny you've missed all the jokes. That's not true - people have a different sense of humor. My mother would've hated it and thought it was really tacky.Even though it felt like the movie was saying anger is a way to deal with issues, I was actually happy that it wasn't about dealing with all your anger in a zen sort of way (as the trailer implied). I felt sorry for Red, because there was no excuse for how he was treated, and he was smart and someone who could "see" what was going on most of the time, and it was probably difficult to deal with all the other dippy birds. The other people in anger management class very much amused me. The pigs were well done, though sometimes a bit tacky as well. I loved all the baby birds - they were just too cute. I have a great appreciation for animators in general, and I love when they can make something so cute, or facial expressions that are so right-on. Regardless of humor, subject matter, or whether it's crude - I think it's well animated.Since so many people mentioned the eagle peeing off the cliff, I guess that's not a spoiler anymore. It was funny, at first, because it was so unexpected. But it just went on for WAY too long and lost any humor. That's one part I did not like. I'm also not sure what politics people are referring to -- I have watched it twice now and still don't get this. Or maybe I was just enjoying it and not looking for politics everywhere.

My 2-year-old loves this movie. It is his favorite. We have Angry Birds 2 recorded on our DVR but with commercials and he hates commercials so I bought the 1st one so we don't have to hit fast forward. Mom win here!

I think this shows that being angry - at times - is a good thing. I think the animation was really good. I liked the story line. It seems they were to blame - at times - for reds anger since some seem to like 'pushing his buttons'. I think this is for the whole family.

Although Sean "the Pinko" Penn was involved in the making of this movie, it seems to make some conservative points.The liberal slant in this film is unmistakable: The "almighty" Bald Eagle is a legend school children don't even believe in anymore. Our colleges literally teach our young people that Americans "suck everything!" When the angry birds seek him out, they discover that he is an old, overweight, decadent version of himself that can't even fly anymore, let alone do anything about the immigrant pigs who have invaded Bird Island, welcomed by the Judge as well as virtually all the other birds, even though their true intentions are to steal and eat their eggs.This is truly a movie for our times as illegal immigrants blow up more and more things we worked hard to build, as the Red bird with the big eyebrows puts it, and steal our children with their ideological poison, if not by actual kidnapping.This film is well made and humorous. The nap-of-the-earth and aerial scenes are worth a look on a big screen, if you're into that like I am!
