This is family entertainment in its lowest form. I got a few clever quips from Carrey but, for the most part, the writers took the easy way out and filled the movie with the lowest form of humor. Hell, even the farting sound effects seemedThis is family entertainment in its lowest form. I got a few clever quips from Carrey but, for the most part, the writers took the easy way out and filled the movie with the lowest form of humor. Hell, even the farting sound effects seemed cartoonish and out of place. It's probably my fault expecting a comedy classic out of something titled "Mr. Popper's Penguins" but even the story itself was disappointing. The writers brought up so many plot elements that were never mentioned again. Also, the child actors were terrible and the adults just looked like they were trying to make a quick buck. Which, judging by the product, is exactly what they were doing.… Expand

Imagine a blowhard politician, a sycophant Valedictorian, or, even windbag like Charlie Sheen walking up to a podium, adjusting his tie, clearing his throat, taking a deep breath, and being reduced to simply saying, "don't see this movie."

Its actually sad to see Jim Carrey in such movie.., he was a legend in comedy and I wanted to see a movie that in bar with his old hits , but this one was boring from the first scene till the very last one.

The Movie felt very cheap , the story is weak and the plot is predictive and has been done before.

The animated Penguins (which are the main characters) looked very fake and unconvincing , specially how they tried to give each one a character ,this actually made them more unreal and too silly even for small children.

I found almost all characters irritating : From Mr. Popper's Managers the one dimensional old men , they just read their lines each in his order without acting ...!
And his assistant and her desperate try to be funny repeating the same "joke" the whole movie , to even his kids , the boy who's trying to look as daddies boy , and the daughter's unreasonable teenage emotion bursts.

Nothing made sense in this movie and the it should not be labeled as "Comedy" cause it's far from it .
it's just another "family" movie like "Jingle All the Way" which you regret watching.… Expand
