Maybe this movie will hit the spot for some viewers, but my kids and I are thoroughly disappointed. We couldn't get to see it at the cinema, so we had high hopes, but it's one of the worst written movies I've seen this year – Kung Fu Panda 3 is the weakest of that franchise, but it's still far funnier than this. With the exception of just a few slapstick moments, Angry Birds is incredibly unfunny. The plot appears to have been written by committee, understandably squeezing in elements from the game, but each tiny, paper thin joke is stretched to the limit, going on and on and on and on, even for minutes at a time, long, long after the punchline has been delivered. The animation is well done and I even like the characters and their personalities. But the writing... Take out the constant joke repetitions and extensions, many of which aren't funny even the first time round, and the whole movie would have a runtime of around 20 minutes. If you haven't seen it, rent don't buy, and ideally wait for the TV series (if there is one).
