Battling Birds and Pigs in “Angry Birds 2”

I received product/compensation in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

Angry Birds 2

The flightless angry birds and the scheming green piggies take their beef to the next level in THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 2! When a new threat emerges that puts both Bird and Pig Island in danger, Red (Jason Sudeikis), Chuck (Josh Gad), Bomb (Danny McBride), and Mighty Eagle (Peter Dinklage) recruit Chuck’s sister Silver (Rachel Bloom) and team up with pigs Leonard (Bill Hader), his assistant, Courtney (Awkwafina), and techpig, Garry (Sterling K. Brown), to forge an unsteady truce and form an unlikely super team to save their homes.

Jason Sudeikis (Booksmart), Josh Gad (Frozen II), Bill Hader (Inside Out), Danny McBride (TV’s “The Righteous Gemstones”), and Peter Dinklage (TV’s “Game of Thrones”) reprise their roles from 2016’s The Angry Birds Movie in the hilarious family-friendly sequel. Joining the all-star cast is Leslie Jones (TV’s “Saturday Night Live”), Rachel Bloom (TV’s “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’), Awkwafina (Crazy Rich Asians), Sterling K. Brown (TV’s “This Is Us”), and Eugenio Derbez (Dora and the Lost City of Gold).

I honestly wasn’t sure what I would think of the Angry Birds 2 movie as the first one came out so long ago it feels like. Back when the first movie came out too, Angry Birds was so popular and I feel like it kinda hasn’t been the last few years. Well this movie has re-kindled our love for those silly birds and pigs.

The movie features the birds and pigs on their own islands still pranking each other until someone attacks both of the them. Teaming up together they have to figure out who/what is attacking them. The new enemy is an old girlfriend! The story appeals to both kids and adults, not that there is anything inappropriate but the humor is funny. I watched this with my kids and we all laughed and laughed. I admit too I wouldn’t mind watching it a few more times. It is a great movie when you need a laugh.
