Sony Pictures Animation brings the mobile game phenomenon to the big screen with this family film, featuring the voices of Jason Sudeikis (Horrible Bosses), Josh Gad (Frozen) and Danny McBride (This is the End).

The movie takes us to an island populated entirely by happy, flightless birds – or almost entirely. In this paradise, Red (Sudeikis), a bird with a temper problem, speedy Chuck (Gad), and the volatile Bomb (McBride) have always been outsiders. But when the island is visited by mysterious green piggies, it falls to these outcasts to figure out what the intruders are up to.

The Angry Birds Movie / Reviews

Flicks, Adam Fresco

I asked my kid why Angry Birds are so angry. His reply? “Duh! They’re Angry Birds”. Sony Animation’s big screen version of the money-printing mobile game hit is cool with that logic. Set on an island of flightless birds invaded by green piggies, it falls to three furious heroes to save the day: the easily enraged Red, (Jason Sudeikis), speedy Chuck (Josh Gad), and the (literally) explosive Bomb (Danny McBride). Forget plot, because if it’s toilet humour and gooey slapstick the kids want to see, that’s what they get - by the bucket-load.

Variety

A fast, fizzy and frenetically entertaining extension of the manic gaming franchise.

Time Out

If you loved the game, you might enjoy watching the script contort itself into ever more zany shapes to incorporate the necessary elements...

The Guardian

The sheer contrived ridiculousness is part of the fun. But you really do have to know the game.

Rolling Stone

There's no denying the movie's high spirits or its irresistible invitation to shake your sillies out.

Hollywood Reporter

The animation punches well above its weight with properly Looney Tunes-standard sight gags, polished, highly expressive character design...

Entertainment Weekly

Delivers a mildly diverting mix of winky meta-jokes and moral lessons, cannily aimed at both the next generation of tiny consumers and their more sophisticated parents.
