Not as good as the first but funnier

(Written by 8yo boy) I feel like this one has more humor than the first Angry Birds movie. But the story isn't as good. The first one I would say 6+ but this one is 7+. It has some inappropriate jokes, potty humor. And just two scenes come in with sort of bad words -- they cover it up in one scene with symbols but you know they are bad words. The other scene they say "oh you gotta be freakin kidding me". They sort of ruin the point of the bad guys in the first movie by making them good in the second movie. Like in the end Red says we couldn't have done it without them. There is a flashback where two eagles are in the hospital and one scene where a guy gets attacked in a bathroom. But overall i think this is pretty funny and I used to watch it all the time.

What's the Story?

THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 2 follows the events of the original, which led to grumpy Red (voiced by Jason Sudeikis) being hailed as a hero for saving Bird Island from the green pigs, who live on their own Pig Island but still manage to play pranks on their bird neighbors. But once destructive frozen orbs start being catapulted at both Piggy and Bird Island from a mysterious third island, the birds and pigs declare a truce. Red and his pals Bomb (Danny McBride), Mighty Eagle (Peter Dinklage), and Chuck (Josh Gad) recruit Chuck's genius sister, Silver (Rachel Bloom), to combine forces with pigs Leonard (Bill Hader), Courtney (Awkwafina), and Garry (Sterling K. Brown) on a mission to take down Zeta (Leslie Jones), the nefarious leader of the third island, before she destroys their homes.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (23 ):
Kids say (43 ):

Silly pranks, an ace voice cast, and a super-team mission storyline make this fast-paced sequel more fun than the original. It's a predictably well-intentioned second installment, in which the birds and pigs are forced to work together against an even more formidable foe. It also shows how Red's insecurity lingers, since he was only recently accepted and respected. Although some of the movie's jokes and sight gags are recycled (because, frankly, it's unlikely that little kids will ever get tired of naked piggy-butt jokes), the addition of the third mystery island is interesting enough to keep younger audiences guessing.

The movie has a couple of romantic subplots that fall into familiar categories: "hate to love" (in this case, more like "exasperation to flirtation") and "second chance" (this review won't spoil the big reveal). One of the romances seems a bit too mature for younger kids to follow, but there's enough of a "happily ever after" to please moviegoers who are used to Disney princess-level resolutions. The app-inspired, high-contrast visuals and the cutesy nature of the birds and piggies will appeal to kids, as will the lighthearted, silly body humor. This is by no means a family film treasure, but it's sure to elicit enough laughs to make it 100 minutes of tween-friendly fun.
