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.
