The island of Happy Birds is a great refuge for birds who can't fly. Red lives among them but is not very like because he has anger issues. When green pigs show up on the island everyone welcomes them without asking questions, except Red. When he looks deeper and finds that the pigs are trying to steal the eggs he jumps into action. With his friends from Anger Management class he rallies the island together to go after the pigs and save their kids.

I have never played the Angry Birds game before so I didn't know what to really expect and I also did have a high expectation for the film either. However, the list of all the people doing the voices in this film is gave me some expectation of the film because they are all great actors and voice actors.

The Verdict?

It was Hilarious! I was ot expecting to laugh as hard as I did or enjoy it as much either! The plot with the pigs is imaginative and very original. Who would thing that Pigs would be after bird eggs? From what I understand of the game the birds were being shot out of slingshots or attack the pigs. Which seems like a funny idea but it doesn't make much sense in reality. The movie gave it a really good backstory into why they had the sling shots.

Overall a great film for everyone to see.
