The worst of this is evidenced by the fact that the Pilgrims are presented as villains who blame the turkeys for their many misfortunes. The premise, well executed in most of the film, still leaves some giant plot holes and a whole lot of unneeded absurdity. Between those jokes, however, are really offensive depictions of Thanksgiving era turkeys as Native Americans, complete with feathers behind their heads and war paint on their faces. It's really precocious in its handling of the material and made me laugh a good many times. The humor in this is really great, blending jokes for both adults and children alike.
Though a lot of this is slipshod, there were a lot of great jokes.
I understand these points, and many of them are valid, but I think some credit is due to this holiday film. It's understandable that pretty much everyone absolutely hated this film, the main reasons being: its premise is laughably horrible, it isn't politically correct, and many find it humorless.
