But as soon as the group arrives on Eagle Island, “Angry Birds 2” mostly tosses story, character and sense aside, and opts for a go-for-broke style of humor. The hoops our heroes jump through become increasingly surreal and hilarious.

Highlights include a bit involving an attempt to steal an eagle’s ID card at a urinal, and a breakdance battle that comes out of nowhere and is resolved in even stranger fashion.

Those hoping for a sharply-scripted, well-proportioned work may be disappointed, but one might ask them why they’re seeing a film called “The Angry Birds Movie 2” in the first place.

The Angry Birds Movie 2

Rated PG for mild animated violence and one terrifying scene involving crabs raining from the skies. Running time: 1 hour 36 minutes.
