Mr. Popper's Penguins Audience Reviews

More Review
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
simon_ecc I just find him really irritating. He was good in the mask and truman show, but often he's just really IRRITATING. Sorry. To be honest, I think he probably knows this.

Harriet Deltubbo Jim Carrey is Tom Popper, a New York City businessman who has put almost all of his life into his work instead of family. One day he gets a call saying that his father has died, but he left him a gift: penguins. Carrey carries this movie and saves it from being a disaster with his physical slapstick. It's the kind of film that proves that a small story can be much more meaningful than a larger one. The cinematography is stark and bare, with only the soundtrack adding some effect. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them.
SnoopyStyle Mr. Popper (Jim Carrey) grew up with an absentee explorer father and becomes a cold hearted property buyer. He is divorced with two kids. One day, his long gone father sends him a penguin. He calls to return the penguin but communication problem causes 5 more penguins to be sent.It's a likable kids movie. There's nothing mean spirited here. On the other hand, there's nothing edgy or original. It's rather bland. Jim Carrey tones down this character which he has played many times before. He limits his over reaching gyrations but still has the physical pratfalls. In fact, everything seems toned down and a bit of a bore. The penguins are a marvel of CGI but they lack individualism and personality. Their artificialness is never far from the mind.
