Reggie
has been warning the other turkeys on the farm that the farmer is not their
friend. They decide they’ve had
enough of his ideas and they give him up to the farmer. The only catch is that the President
and his daughter are there to pardon a turkey. Reggie goes to the White House for an entirely different
life filled with delivery pizza and TV.
He meets Jake on the white house grounds. Jake is a militant turkey and he drags Reggie into his idea
of going back in time to make sure turkey is not part of the first Thanksgiving
meal.
Since
the threat of death is lurking around every corner, a lot of the lightness is quickly
sucked from this film. There are too
many main and minor themes, characters, listless gags and manic ideas. Plus, it's not a "laugh riot." This may be better for an annual Thanksgiving
viewing to keep kids busy. 2 ½*
