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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
