So, I'll make this quite short as other have and will make longer and more detailed reviews. I've been following the YouTube channels of the two main characters in this film for a while and if, at first, it was just out of boredom and curiosity, I quickly became hooked to the honest and direct way they picture their topics and adventures in China. It's more or less interesting depending on your interests and sensitivity but it always has some kind of a fresh feeling.
That is exactly what they managed to capture in this documentary. It's candid, just as their production brand's name. You'll wish it lasted longer both because it's entertaining and because you can feel how rich the culture of the people they show is and so little is shown in less than 2 hours. But don't get me wrong, if you know their channels, you'll really enjoy this. If you don't, it's a really human and different way to visit China from your living room and it will make you want to see more. The good news is that you'll have plenty more of that stuff on YouTube. Adventure, exploration, day-to-day life with the same angle, just not the same production value. That last point alone is what made me buy the documentary instead of renting it since I know I'll be watching it a few times because it's really well put.
All in all, if you're interested in the real China aside of mega-factories and politics and/or if you enjoy the adventure-road-trip storytelling (or you like the YouTube channels, of course) go check this out. You won't regret it!

I went to this one with really, really low expectation. Yes, I played -some of- the games and, yes, it kept me busy and somehow amused for a few hours. I expected an easy although late cash-in on the angry birds wave since that's what the games made me expect.
Well... I have to admit, from the very first minutes, I was astonished to see that they had managed to turn this rather uninteresting story and game to a minimum frame that supported an honest and good story and well put characters. It even made me giggle and laugh a few times! I was never really bored at all. If you're familiar with the games, you'll recognize the various type of birds along with their special abilities which have been turned into a viable part of their characters and the storytelling. There's no abuse on that side, on the contrary. The story itself is in line with the games but much more detailed, not that it would be hard to achieve, but it's presented in a way that makes sense and would certainly be entertaining for anyone even those who don't know anything about that universe.
I couldn't find anything really bad to this movie. The voice acting is on par, the animation, the story, the characters, everything is worth any of the animated blockbusters. Their only default really is the reused smartphone game franchise that doesn't make you think this might be worth it. But it is!
