the army of scientists' only orders are to "exterminate with extreme prejudice," which is exactly the kind of nuance I look for in my movie about talking turkeys** time traveling back to the Pilgrims to trade pizza onto the menu to save their species from being celebratorily eaten annually
**(there's a notice at the beginning that everything is a fabricated story "except the talking turkeys - those are totally real" and then in the story the only thing presented as fake is that the turkeys could talk)

"Well, I guess this is good-bye." -Reggie,
Happy Thanksgiving!!
I watched this in the theater with my daughter in 2013 and I remember thinking that it was possibly the worst movie that I had ever seen. I watched it again because I wanted to see if I was jaded at the time or if it is really as bad as I remember.
I'm going to go 12% jaded and 88% as bad as I remembered. In addition to this just not being funny <SPOILERS> the ending to this film is the successful removal of turkey from the traditional Thanksgiving menu, and replacing it with pepperoni pizza. So... if you are keeping track this film (1) Makes you think of every…

Thanksgiving 2020 Flick #1
A Thanksgiving Back to the Future
I have no clue if I’m going to watch enough films this month to warrant a “Thanksgiving 2020” series, but let’s see where it goes. The cinematic masterpiece and pinnacle of animation, Free Birds, assembles a great cast of voice actors. We get Owen “Wow” Wilson as our lead turkey, Woody Harrelson as our big dumb turkey, and Amy Poehler, as you guessed it, our star female turkey. The voice acting is excellent! The jokes are funny if you are into the kind of humor that isn't funny at all. The animation on the surface looks good, but there is a lack of detail that makes the environments bare. To be honest, I don’t know why I’m giving this a serious review, this is a bad Thanksgiving movie that you can put on to entertain the kids while you make the mashed potatoes. -

I think I have the bar set low for a lot of the cinema trips with my wee little daughter, because I seem to always come out of the theater feeling better about the experience than I expected. I knew walking in today to screen Free Birds it wasn't going to be a top notch level Pixar quality film, the only real goal being that she have a lot of fun and laughs watching it, so I was surprised to find a less than 90 minute fast paced film that I had some fun with as well.
A lot of jokes missed, but some hit, and not for one second was I bored with the film. So based off of…

So not only did the turkeys screw with the space time continuum and alter the current timeline real badly by replacing Thanksgiving turkey with pizza, they replaced it with Chuck E Cheese pizza, objectively and historically the WORST pizza. I get that people didn’t eat pizza back in the day so I guess shit pizza would still taste good to the pilgrims and native Americans but still, if you’re gonna fuck with history, at least give them pizza that isn’t notoriously gross. Hell, dominos or Pizza Hut would’ve been more acceptable. Trust me, this whole pizza thing isn’t even the weirdest thing to happen in this movie. Wackiest movie about time traveling turkeys I’ve ever seen.

A watchable but routine family adventure, "Free Birds" sends a duo of blandly animated turkeys to the past in an attempt to save early American turkey-kind from the first Thanksgiving. There is a handful of adult-friendly jokes, but the premium here is obviously on the type of animated hijinks that appeals primarily to children.
Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson voice the lead turkeys with modest charisma in a plot that features a George Takei-powered time machine, pilgrims, and presidential turkey pardons. Even if this sounds interesting, the story comes off as dull as the film's animation. There is action, forward motion, and color in the film, but there is not anything truly compelling or exciting about the narrative.
The entire…

This might be the dumbest movie I have ever watched. +.5 stars because the drummer from Tool is in it for some reason.

Guionistas encocados.
Tras unos primeros minutos bastante esperanzadores, ‘Vaya Pavos’ acaba convirtiéndose en una película muy, muy extraña. En el momento en que el segundo pavo (Jake) hace su entrada en escena, la película mete no la cuarta ni la quinta, sino la sexta velocidad.
Empiezan a suceder cosas, a surgir gags (todo hay que decirlo, algunos muy buenos) condensados en cuestión de milisegundos (otros que casi no son apreciables por que en seguida está pasando algo más). De un modo u otro viajamos en el tiempo, surgen nuevos personajes que prometen pero que a penas tenemos tiempo para conocerlos (los dos pavitos pequeños) o están solo para el gag (el pavo Justin, y no voy a decir nada más…
