Movie Review: The Angry Birds Movie

They are just angry and birds who can't fly

Movie Review: The Angry Birds Movie
YouTube/Angry Birds

We all know about angry birds. It was a huge app a couple years back. The whole point behind the game was to not let the pigs take over. How could you not fall in love with them? They were adorable and could destroy buildings. So of course they had to make a movie about them. I didn't know what to expect when I heard about the movie. I saw previews for it and knew that I wanted to go see it. I had heard it was a lot like the Lego movie that came out in February of 2014. I was assuming that it was more for adult humor. I was surprised to see how well they did with this movie from being based off a phone app.

I was right. Most of the jokes in the movie were more for adult humor. I was shocked at some of the jokes though. Some kids would understand them. I remember clearly Red, the red bird was having a bad morning and he said, "Aw pluck me." My jaw dropped when I heard it. I couldn't believe they slid that in there the way they did. I understand they have to keep the parents interested as well as the kids but dang, I thought that that was almost too far for a PG movie.

There was also a lot of subtle hints of sexual content. Most kids wouldn't think anything about these hints but it was made very clear to the older people watching the movie. Some of the hints were when the town's eggs was stolen Chuck decided to say, "Ladies get busy" while thrusting his hips.

While, yes, this movie was more adult than expected I thought it was cute. I don't think I would bring my children to go see it, personally. I took my boyfriend with me and we both thought it was good. We shared some laughs about it. I thought the storyline was kind of boring but the birds' personalities were awesome. They couldn't have done better with a phone app as a background.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
