Aug 13, 2019 · The answer, in the case of the original "The Angry Birds" film, was a definite yes, and it's even truer for this sequel, even though the mix of Skittles-colored characters, video game-looking graphics, obvious needle-drop music cues, and incessant lowbrow slapstick (butt jokes, groin injuries) might get tiresome for anyone over the age of, say, 12.
Like its non-aerodynamic title characters, The Angry Birds Movie 2 takes improbable yet delightfully entertaining flight, landing humorous hits along the way. Read Critics Reviews

Parents need to know that The Angry Birds Movie 2 is a sequel to the 2016 movie -- and both were inspired by one of the best-selling mobile games of all time. As in the original, there's a lot of silliness here, as well as some mildly rude and suggestive jokes. But there's also a focus on teamwork,….

A rare sequel that runs circles around its predecessor. Angry Birds' second instalment is funnier, more thoughtful and bucket loads more fun than the first, making for a family-friendly animated adventure well worth its 100 minute runtime —- its all-star voice cast doesn't hurt either!

In a summer where the box office has been hit and miss when it comes to giving audiences what they wanted or expected, The Angry Birds Movie 2 is pretty much exactly what you would expect it to be. While fans of the first film will likely be satisfied with the sequel and there’s nothing fundamentally bad about The Angry Birds Movie 2, it’s unlikely that anyone who wasn’t already planning to see it will change their minds and buy a ticket.
The good news is that if you’re an adult taking a child to this, it won’t be an unpleasant experience. You’ll probably have sat through worse. Would you recommend someone go and see it without kids? Probably not. Another bonus is that at 96 minutes long, one minute shorter than The Angry Birds Movie, it doesn’t overstay its welcome.
Director Thurop Van Orman previously worked on Powerpuff Girls, Adventure Time, and Home: Adventures with Tip & Oh, and he’s brought some of his flair from those projects and applied them here, taking what the first film laid out and giving it his own touch. But while there are few flourishes here for adults, this is very much a kids movie.
The Angry Birds Movie 2 does what you’d expect it to do, some nice touches move the franchise forward, but it could have dug deeper as some other franchises have. The whole is less than the sum of its parts, but those parts just about make the grade. Kids or a certain age will love it, and ultimately that’s all that really matters here.
