Review of Free Birds (2013) by Chris M — 02 Nov 2013

A funny and well-rounded comedy about time traveling turkeys. First off, It's a kid's movie, but adults can enjoy it as well. There is a lot of hate in the critic reviews and I honestly think they're embellishing quite a bit.

There is no vegetarian message, no anti-turkey-consumption propaganda, no scheme to turn kids into fast food junkies. These are some of the most crackpot theories I've come across, and from what I could tell, were completely unfounded.

It's a movie about turkeys not wanting to be eaten; obviously, that means they get people to eat something else. But drawing parallels to the zany theories posted on this site is seemingly absurd, and I think the critics are looking a little too deeply into a movie for six-year old children.

If you look into the company that made the movie, and look at the prior commercial work, you can see why certain things are in the movie. There isn't a conspiracy here; just a lack of research on the critics part, and a fun little tale about turkeys.

Go see it!
