Now here's another Hollywood turkey we can sink our teeth in. Woody Harrelson and Owen Wilson are animated turkeys in Free Birds, and they are on a quest to go back in time to change the course of history and take turkeys off the holiday menu. And what better timing than Thanksgiving to ruin our joy of our annual feast when it opens November 1st.
Amy Poehler joins the fun as a female turkey along with Lakers basketball player Dwight Howard making his animated feature film debut and popular Spanish radio disc jockey Eddie 'Piolin' Sotelo.
Can we take a bet the classic song "Free Bird" by American southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd will be part of the soundtrack.

Relativity Media has released a trailer for their upcoming animated film Free Birds, which features the voices of Owen Wilson, Woody Harrelson Amy Poehler, Dan Fogler, Lesley Nicol, George Takei, Colm Meaney, Keith David, Eddie "Piolin" Sotelo, and Dwight Howard.
There's no way to sugar coat it... this movie has a stupid concept, and it doesn't look good at all. Maybe the kids will enjoy it. I assume the movie was made for an audience of 8 and younger because they don't know any better. Here's the synopsis:
In this hilarious, adventurous buddy comedy for audiences of all ages, directed by Jimmy Hayward (Horton Hears a Who!), two turkeys from opposite sides of the tracks must put aside their differences and team up to travel back in time to change the course of history - and get turkey off the Thanksgiving menu for good.

Hitting movie theaters this weekend:

Cars 2 – Owen Wilson, Larry the Cable Guy, Michael Caine
Movie of the Week
Bad Teacher
The Stars: Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel, Justin Timberlake
The Plot: A comedy centered around a foul-mouthed, junior high teacher (Diaz) who, after being dumped by her sugar daddy, begins to woo a colleague — a move that pits her against a well-loved teacher.
The Buzz: Nope, no buzz. No competition here. Bad Teacher could (or should) be Diaz’ swan song as a sex symbol, she’s just not looking the part these days. Director Jake Kasdan does have some reputable directorial chops, most notably five episodes of Freaks and Geeks, but this looks to be just another lukewarm comedy. A weak cast and a weak premise will probably doom this film at the box office.
