Seems like they missed their timing window with this. Wasn't Angry Birds a much more popular thing like two years ago?

It got a couple of laughs out of me, but I disliked it on the whole...too loud and obnoxious in every respect, and (perhaps not surprisingly) too many dated cultural references.
My kindergartner, on the other hand, thought it was the greatest thing he'd seen in the theater since the last thing he saw in the theater.

And I was just checking this to ask "Did anyone actually go to see this?" I'll buy it on 3D Blu-Ray of course

Saw this yesterday. (With my son). I had played the game a little bit a few years ago but I don't really recall much of the storyline and premise (if there was one.) That said, the movie actually does have a plot and conflict.
Movie had some good puns throughout, both foreground and background (though not as many or as good as Zootopia); it was a little predictable, it seemed to spend a lot of screen time on music montage type things (and there were some odd music selections). Definitely some juvenile humor in. The initial set up scene sort of bothered me because
but whatever. I liked Chuck and it's possible I'm reading too much into it but the theme of
was a little disturbing.
And, of course, it ended with
Anyway, it felt like a summer kid's flick. Which it was. Not the worst I've ever seen, but definitely not in the top 10.

I've got a 5 and 8 year old who both enjoy the game. I don't even think they are aware this came out.
And yes, I'm not afraid to say no to films I don't want to see and don't want to pay big $$$ to see at the theater. I said "no way" to Goosebumps last fall. Fast forward and we all enjoyed watching it on Netflix last Saturday night. Totally warmed over shit by the way. But we had some family fun.

Re: Angry Birds: The Movie
The "surprise" trip to the movies is this Wednesday when I'm taking them to the IMAX to see the National Parks film on 15/70mm. The poor miserable fucks. Not sure they'll ever recover from my shitty thoughtless parenting that didn't take them to Angry Birds.
