Oh, angry birds. |
Red (voiced by Jason Sudeikis) is running through the trees and several other animals making it home to his family. He is a miserable bird that lives on Bird Island on a house by the beach, away from the rest of the flightless birds. He has no friends and has anger issues which Timmy's family, notably his dad (voiced by Hannibal Burress), raises and is put on trial. Judge Peckinpah (voiced by Keegan Michael-Key) sentences Red to attend anger management classes.
Red begrudgingly goes to the session and meets his teacher, Matilda (voiced by Maya Rudolph) and she introduces him to the other patients - Chuck, Bomb and Terence (voiced by Josh Gad, Danny McBride and Sean Penn simultaneously). All of a sudden, a ship full of pigs arrive on the island and a bearded pig named Leonard (voiced by Bill Hader) arrives and want to befriend the birds. Red is suspicious but the others interpret that it is his anger clouding the judgment. A lot of the birds' eggs go missing and the pigs are behind the scheme. What do they do now?
They are an angry bird team. |
Most of the voice-over work was good but I did not buy Jason Sudeikis as the main red bird because I felt his voice presence was not as angry as I wanted to be. I mean, why not cast Seth Rogen or Lewis Black as the angry bird? Look, for a movie that is based on an app, this is decent but it is still setting the bar low. I mean, we have two video-game movies coming this summer. The one I'm hoping will be good is Assassin's Creed because of Michael Fassbender, most of his movies do not miss a single step. But, for now, let the kids just play the app for 15-30 minutes and then go outside for the rest of the summer and play at the park.
