Quotes
Overall, Birds of America is a nice enough film , but it's kept from its potential to be really good by being a little too trite and formulaic to ever strike that solid chord that would have made it an unforgettable Sundance film. It's not quite funny enough to appeal as a rom-com, nor quite darkly comedic enough to satisfy; what we're left with, then, is pretty much just another average "dysfunctional family" story with a some good moments here and there; as a result, it just ends up feeling more like a film fest snack than a meal. — Cinematical
