Jude Anthany Joseph's third feature, after Ohm Shanti Oshana and Oru Muthassi Gadha, released on Prime Video at midnight today. This seemingly feel-good film, also seemingly made in limited spaces and with a shoestring budget, tackles a concept and issue never tested before in Malayalam cinema circles. In Sara'S, we follow the life of Sara Vincent (Anna Ben), a young, bubbly, yet unapologetic filmmaker who struggles to make it big in the industry. She continuously assists male directors and is in the scripting works of her dream film. Sara has decided, from her school days, that she would not bear any kids. This is when she meets Jeevan (Sunny Wayne); her relationship with him subsequently brings her ideology and decision into a confrontation with the established norms of society, family and child-rearing. Anna Ben in Sara'S The best aspect in which Sara'S has excelled, without doubt, is its hard-hitting taut script. Debutant Akshay Hareesh deserves praise for managin...
The movie adaptation of this once addiction-inducing game was met with much hype at the time of its release. Here's how it came off to me, as a critic and an audience.
In the paradise-like Bird Island, inhabited by flightless birds who revere the Great Eagle, Red (Jason Sudeikis), the thick eyebrow-ed bird is isolated by his brethren as a result of his mild temper. At the last point of desperation, he is "banished" to an anger management class where he is joined two other famous characters from the mobile game- Chuck (Josh Gad) and Bomb (Danny McBride): both with their own genuine problems of short temper. The trio form the primary title group.
The Utopia in Bird Island is disrupted by the enigmatic arrival of the Bad Piggies, who do not appear to be one; they bemuse the bird community with their clever antics and inventions. But the loner of the community, Red begins to suspect the swine clan more than anyone. The audience is catapulted into the crux of the story which is formed by the trio of red, black and yellow who attempt to blow up the piggie pack's ulterior motive.
As mentioned in the first review of the ANIMATED MOVIES series: Kung Fu Panda 3, there is no deficiency of ambitious animations in 21st century Hollywood. The Angry Birds Movie is one movie where the existing technology and effects have been effectively utilized to recreate lush scenery of paradisical beauty and colorful birds who ironically are incompetent to fly.
It is a good-intentioned entertainer, utilizing the plethora of comedic situations that become available thanks to the hollow-headed characters, the occupants of the Bird Island. Like its eponymous hit game, that wanted its players to never leave their hands off their phone, the movie courageously carries the responsibility of entertainment with its' requisite slingshot and avian characters that can turn this movie into the first entry in what could be a new franchise.
The Angry Birds Movie boasts of a star voice cast that includes Jason Sudeikis as Red, the odd one out of the non-flying bird community, Peter Dinklage, who voices the ignorant, game-famous Great Eagle. They are fantastically joined by the likes of Josh Gad, Maya Rudolph and Danny McBride.
MPAA rating: PG (for rude humor and action)
Run time: 94 minutes

For a summer replete with movies intended to be blockbusters, The Angry Birds Movie is a family entertainer. It never attempts to push the ceiling, specifically for animated movies made by today's producers, high and therefore it turns out as an ordinary animated movie which only boasts of its' origin from the sensational mobile game.Reviewer© rating : 3 stars
