Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, The Angry Birds Movie 2 earns its spot. The Angry Birds Movie 2 does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Red, Chuck, Bomb and the rest of their feathered friends are surprised when a green pig suggests that they put aside their differences and unite to fight a common threat. Aggressive birds from an island covered in ice are planning to use an elaborate weapon to destroy the fowl and swine. Jason Sudeikis and Josh Gad lead a cast that never overplays a joke. It was released in 2019. The Angry Birds Movie 2 earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, The Angry Birds Movie 2 is a strong candidate. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Jason Sudeikis's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
