Free Birds

I was not expecting great things from this movie but I was pleasantly surprised. It was actually quite hilarious, lame but laugh out loud funny. The jokes were on point the whole way through and it was adult funny not just kid funny.

Honestly if you can't relax and just enjoy a movie then give this one a miss and if you regularly use words like cinematography in your reviews then get over yourself nobody wants to hear your review as you shouldn't have watched this movie to begin with. Stop trying to drag ratings down for a harmless animated children's film. Back to the movie...

Free Birds has all the same concepts as your typical feel-good movie but who's ever seen a movie about a Thanksgiving turkey. It's certainly a new one for me. And shout out to the baby turkeys, they were adorable. The whole way through I was rooting for the turkeys to succeed even though they're completely delicious. But I guess you'll just have to watch to see what happens.

Two turkeys (Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson) from different back grounds, are somewhat paired together, when they stumble onto a government experiment that involves time travel, when they get into the time machine, they ask it named Steve(voiced by George Takei) to take them for the first Thanksgiving, in order to prevent it, set all turkeys free.

This film is getting a lot of negative reviews, I still can't figure, It's just a fun entertaining film, with incredible animation, and all the actors doing there voices seems like there having fun. It has one heart felt moment, but other than that this film does not take itself seriously. The jokes are laugh out loud funny, some may dislike it, and some may not. But I liked it, although this movie is not for everybody.

"We have a Turkey situation"

"How should we address it?"

"With cranberry sauce." (HA, HA, HA,HA)

This was just a fun, silly movie -- perfect for a family outing. It has no pretensions to be anything more than just a goofy, romp through "history". No, it doesn't contain any riotously funny scenes. No, it doesn't contain any hidden agenda. No it doesn't contain a subtext of humor aimed at the parents/adults in the audience. And no, it is not a thinly veiled attempt by Hollywood to promote a "Vegan" agenda. (Seriously?!?)

It's not great art. It doesn't even really try to manipulate the heart strings.

It reminded me a lot of "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" and even referenced it at one point.

It's just exactly that kind of a (again) fun, silly little movie.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Just take the kids and enjoy it.

What else can I say, except: THAT'S RIGHT WE'RE GOING BACK IN TIME TO THE FIRST THANKSGIVING TO GET TURKEYS OFF THE MENU!

That line delivery alone gets this movie a 9/10, I did not expect the jokes to be as funny as they actually were. The plot gets a little slow and boring in the middle but c'mon, they go back in time to get turkeys off the menu! That's the greatest plot of all time. Don't listen to the "critics" this movie is a masterpiece that every human being must experience at least once in their life.

JK it's like a solid 6 at best, I'm just goofing, it's not bad but it's not even that good, as comedy though it gets a 10/10.

I don't understand the hate for this movie: is was just plain fun. I don't know how this movie is offensive, probably because I'm not American, so I can't comment on that. First off all: don't look for a message in this movie. I keep reading, people saying there is a message. There is NO MESSAGE here. It's just fun. It's so bad it's good. The plot didn't make any sense and that's what was funny about it.

I'm very relieved to finally see an animated movie made just for fun and without feeling the need to add an unnecessary message or plot or emotional attachment. There was only one instance where they tried to get you emotionally involved, it didn't work but it didn't disturb me either.

Very refreshing and highly recommended during the holiday season!
