I went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised by the family friendly movie. Carrey has a good time with the role and adds some solid laugh time to the movie. The Penguins are a hoot and wonderfully rendered, although they are sometimes unnecessarily spastic in the background. Some characters could have been much better developed (or left out) but move still accomplishes its goal of entertaining folks. Expand

I went to two other movies over the weekend and they were rated by the critics much higher than this one. But this one was the movie that I walked out of with a smile on my face. This movie gave me my money's worth and entertined me. This is a feel good movie. It wasn't so full of sci-fi nonsense and mega action that it was boring, like so many movies these days. I think it was Jim Cary's best movie. Expand

It revolves around Tom Popper (Jim Carrey), a businessman who spends most of his time with his life instead of his family. One day, after his father dies, he receives a crate which contains all six penguins who then turns his lifeIt revolves around Tom Popper (Jim Carrey), a businessman who spends most of his time with his life instead of his family. One day, after his father dies, he receives a crate which contains all six penguins who then turns his life upside-down. Learning that he has to love them, he does whatever he can to take care of them at any costs.

To those who read the book, I've read the book as well, but this movie is loosely based on the book and I've got my opinion to prove it.

The only problem that I had with this movie was the storyline's pacing. It was so rushed while everything else in this movie turned out great. The casting was brilliant and even Jim Carrey, Angelina Lansbury and Jeffrey Tambor did great at their performances. The jokes were very funny I laughed at every single one of them. The development was organized and well built together. That's all I gotta say.

Mr. Popper's Penguin's lacks in any depth, but it is a great comedy film and little kids and their parents should watch this so they could laugh their butts off for a few minutes.

8/10

Sorry, translation Italian - English mechanical

And 'the little Popper 1976, aka "On the points", he moves easily between intercontinental frequency bands, radio transmitters, microphones and wireless systems. His father is always away and he has learned to use the "bandplan" that allows him to cancel the distances, at least those affective. Yeah, his dad. Its only Dad and magical, ever-traveling "in search of what they look" that will allow it to be remembered by the world scientific community. The years pass and with them the magic that surrounds them, "On the points" has grown and the microphone is not so high, now it is easier to talk to the "bald eagle", his feet are firmly on the ground. Her, Dad always magical, is always looking for what they are looking more than ever convinced "that occasions like this occur rarely." ... Spend so thirty years, you read that right, damn. Thirty long years. The small, loyal, kind and caring, "On the points" Mr. Popper has become. He lives in New York, is an important and enterprising real estate agent, like most intelligent people, and estimated dynamics is, unfortunately, a Mr. Popper's chock full of himself. Dresses with care, attention to the smallest details Professional, customers are not people, but prey, and as such must be captured and skinned.All for the greater glory dell'edificabilità and value which must always be invaluable. She loves the smell, especially the toner that fills the pages of contracts to be signed. However, it can happen that some clients try to "think again" ... well! Here's the face of Mr. Popper turns. The "Carrey dysmorphia", the face, takes over, accompanied by a fine oratorical gestures and mime. If it is true that "is as good as looking back thinking" is also true that "you do it later." And it is the "after" that bothers to our watchlist. The customer must have an idea of the post in perfect harmony with the first. In his performances, Popper is assisted by the faithful Miss Pippi Ophelia Lovibond / personal assistant who prepares the plans and prosecution periodicals. Not only the money the main interest of Mr. Popper has ambitions far more appetizing, to have the same decision-making power of Franklin Philip Baker Hall /, Reader Dominic Chianese / and Yates William Charles Mitchell / her employers. In order to do this rely on the three new "prey", attractive, tasty, hard to track down and tame. This is Mrs. Van Gundy Angela Lansbury / elderly, and the sole owner of the prestigious restaurant "Tavera On The Green" in Central Park site. Mrs. Selma Van Gundy has refused thousands of proposals. The net demand, dry, with no alternatives, that the three hungry manufacturers turn to Mr. Popper is this :-) You have a single occasion. Think you can conclude? You can well imagine the Popperian answer ^ _ ^ I'm sorry you know? I'm Tom Popper, close contracts like this, while I sleep. There are three other people who share some of the time of Mr. Popper, even four. Amanda Carla Gugino / ex-wife, Rick JamesTupper / ex-wife's new boyfriend, caring, helpful, nice. And his two sons. One day, unexpectedly, Tomas Popper receives an inheritance from his father, a frail, small-footprint box. Provenance, Antarctica. Content? A wonderful papua penguin. In the following days more arrived, six total. You are splendid examples of Papua penguins. These feathered ducks orchestral defined but birds fitted with wings that serve as flippers, basically monogamous, changes in the undulating, enchanting to see that companies in the bum The Tramp / the world's most famous Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin /, renew and always the life of our already overwhelming Mr. Popper. Tomas Popper's inventor dreams (sigh!), the man who always manages to surpass himself (Sbarequack!), which never disappoints anyone (sgrunt!), the ducks will learn that the worst thing of having everything outwhat you really miss? Directed by Mark Waters, on a story by Richard and Florence **** co-wrote by Sean Anders / Jared Stern / John Morris (Toy Story two three voice of Andy), which premiered at the Giffoni Festival is a film that I recommend to see. The occasion is good to deepen our knowledge of Tomas, it is tempting to spend some pleasant time, perhaps with their former because "occasions such as this occur rarely." Good click!

Critics shouldnt take it too serious, their not aiming for an oscar for this film, their only trying to entertain people andmake kids laugh with the silly penguins. I give this movie a 7/10, i enjoyed it and so did my gf and were 18 an 17 respectively. Expand

To be honest, I didn't choose to see this movie. However, having been forced to, it wasn't bad! Better than Cars 2 that is for sure. And it teaches a good moral I think on top. All in all not an atrocious movie.

The movie was really fun to watch even although it had some dull parts.
Thank god the movie's main star was Jim Carrey. He is my favorite actor, therefore this movie wouldn't have been anything near good without him.

Read the book this summer with my kids. The movie is very different from the book but entertaining. My kids ranging in ages 4-16 laughed the whole time and for once Carey's humor wasn't too gruesome or over the top. Great Family film.

A fun, very cute movie. The penquins are the real stars. Jim Carey takes on a role that does not bring out his full iconic comedic abilities. The whole family can sit together and enjoy this film.

I liked this movie. The characters seemed real and their emotions were realistic. The penguins were usually funny, but not always. I thought it was worth a watch.
