The Angry Birds Movie isn’t a total turkey. The animation itself is OK and I did laugh out loud once. Read full review

Smartphone apps don’t particularly lend themselves well to political allegory or satire. But that’s precisely what the makers of this fitfully amusing animated adaptation of the once-popular game seem to be fruitlessly attempting. Read full review

The Angry Birds Movie is a lot of things, but none of them true to the app's appeal. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreMay 16, 2016
Sudeikis is well-cast as a bird whose “cardinal sin” is cynicism, but he has virtually nothing funny to say. Read full review

After paying good money to take your family to see this film, you may be dealing with some anger-management issues of your own.

It should come as no surprise that The Angry Birds Movie is a loud and dumb children’s film, but for what it’s worth, there are plenty of cinematic commercial ventures that are louder and dumber and so on than the well-meaning and slickly sold Birds. Read full review

The Angry Birds Movie basically hits all the squares on the Lazily Conceived Family Cartoon bingo card. Read full review

Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallMay 19, 2016
The Angry Birds Movie is simply a pointless swirl of color and motion to babysit small children on home video in a few months. Sadly, such movies aren't an endangered species. Read full review

Most of the movie is lazily retrofitted for a variety of marketing opportunities. Some kids will probably like it anyway. But some kids also like toy commercials and singing chipmunks. It doesn’t mean they should actually watch them. Read full review

The Angry Birds Movie is just fowl. Read full review

Maybe it’s supposed to be the enlightening tale of one bird’s self-redemption from neurotic negativity, but I just wanted to punch this film in the snout. Read full review
