Review of Free Birds

Free Birds (2013)
Free yourself from "Free Birds"
26 January 2014
This film tells how two turkeys go back in time to the 1600's to stop turkeys from being on the Thanksgiving menu.

The trailer of "Free Birds" looked fun, so I decided to give it a go. Unfortunately, the first few minutes of the film are already bad. The plot is just plain silly, everything is way over the top, and the supposed jokes keep on repeating so many times that make my eyes roll.

There are scenes that are so silly that I let out sighs of disbelief. For example, the scene where multiple Reggies converge to discuss the future plan is really silly. I would have thought the future turkeys would be a little wiser, but they join in the stupidity and make the whole scene so irritating and laughable. Even when faced with the threat of clan extinction, little emotional elements are conveyed, and viewers are left unmoved.

The animation is quite good, and the characters are cute, but these are not enough to make a film watchable. Free yourself of "Free Birds", you will be better off.
