Free Birds (2013)


Relativity Media
Directed by Jimmy Hayward
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, Fox)

A turkey receives a presidential pardon at Thanksgiving and is taken to live as a pet at Camp David. There he meets another turkey who is convinced he can use a secret government time machine to travel back to the first Thanksgiving and save all turkeys from their future fates. They are hunted incessantly by one Miles Standish and friends. However, together with his romantic interest and a determined group of turkeys they prevail by convincing the settlers that pizza is more appetizing than turkeys. Ludicrous premise is pushed to the hilt and is so off-the-wall that it somehow ends up working. I'm not going to say it's a new Thanksgiving tradition, but what other choices are there?
