What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Angry Birds Movie is substantially more entertaining than any film adapted from an app has any right to be -- which may or may not be much of an endorsement.

Roxana Hadadi Chesapeake Family Magazine The Angry Birds Movie gets the job done, but there are strange tonal shifts here and a surprising amount of off-color jokes. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 1, 2016 Full Review Megan Garber The Atlantic The Angry Birds Movie is really not bad. It is actually very actively okay. The film has taken its bird-brained brand... and used it to construct characters and plots that are certainly serviceable, and possibly even inspired. Jul 22, 2016 Full Review Udita Jhunjhunwala Scroll.in The Angry Birds Movie is childish and occasionally cute and capitalises on the game's once addictive popularity. Jun 21, 2016 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a blisteringly-paced animated endeavor that never becomes as tedious and grating as one might’ve feared... Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 21, 2024 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse About as plot heavy as you'd imagine a movie based on an app would be. It's an underdog tale with messages of never giving up and being true to yourself but mostly its an excuse for bad bird jokes and lots of fine feathered action. Rated: 3/5 Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Chris McCoy Memphis Flyer Why am I even being asked to invest in these cute little bird characters when I know their ultimate fate is a slingshot-launched kamikaze mission?

Triplet mom I loved this movie that I took my 7 year old triplets to. We all left happy Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/22 Full Review JUAN Medina My grandkids enjoyed it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/22 Full Review Fire T. I liked this movie when I was a kid! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review BadNews R The Angry Birds Movie (2016) – Animated Comedy Let’s be honest here—this movie is very rough. It’s not a polished, groundbreaking animated film by any means. But with that being said, it’s still enjoyable enough for young children. They get the thrill of seeing their favorite Angry Birds video game characters brought to life in a theatrical feature, and in that regard, it delivers what they want. The voice acting cast is perfectly fine. Everyone does a solid job with their delivery, and the director deserves credit for piecing the film together as best as possible. The issue comes down to the writing. The comedy is present, but it doesn’t land the way it needs to. A lot of the dialogue feels lapse and slightly off, and overall the script gives off the vibe of being rushed rather than carefully developed. It feels undercooked when it easily could’ve been more clever and appealing across all ages. That’s really where the problem lies—this movie does not appeal to adults or even teenagers in any significant way. And that matters, because parents are the ones rewatching films like this alongside their kids over and over again. The best animated films succeed because they balance humor and storytelling for both children and adults, but The Angry Birds Movie leans entirely toward little kids, leaving adults bored and disengaged. Now, it’s not unwatchable. It has enough energy and silliness to keep kids entertained, and it’s definitely rewatchable if you have young children who want to see it again. But outside of that, it lacks substance, wit, and charm. I’m not going to score this one high. However, I will give it a very slight thumbs up—not because it’s a great film, but because it serves its purpose for the younger generation. It’s not completely rotten, but it’s also far from soaring. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review Audience Member The Angry Birds Movie is the best movie ever it's my #1 Animated movie of all time but the critics should have it a 80% and popcorn meter 90% Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/24/25 Full Review Sebastian B I feel like this movie is underrated. It’s a really good adaption from the video games! I did catch a lot of references. I played the Angry Birds games when I was little, and I still play it to this day! But I do feel like the other birds were rude to Red, and the movie was kind gross, and it was a bit annoying the way Stella (the pink bird) was moving her arm. But it’s still a good adaptation!
