      I was not prepared for how incredibly boring Birdemic would be. The second half is hilarious but the first half drags impossibly long. For a movie about birds killing people, the birds don’t even show up until I think 47 minutes of this maybe 80 minute movie? I mean there’s the occasional laugh in the first half. That poster that was just a piece of printed paper taped to a wall with Yoko Ono’s website URL right next to that couple making out. I quote “she’s my hot Ferrari” on occasion. But it just wasn’t enough to justify half the movie being a romcom starring the most uncomfortable writing I’ve ever witnessed in film 😭 The director said he wanted this to be a “romantic thriller” but I’m not sure if he understood that you can tie two genres together at once…
