Perhaps it’s only fitting that Blue Sky Studios’ final film went to the birds.
Still, there’s a good bit to enjoy in this uneven-but-charming CG comedy, including a scene-stealing sidekick named Jeff.
As gleefully goofy as that premise can be, the movie’s free-for-all silliness is undermined by the story’s paint-by-numbers approach.
While the jokes consistently remain inspired, the comedy doesn’t reach its full heights by a plot that favors familiar beats and shallows attempts at sentimentality.
