Review of Mr. Popper's Penguins (2011) by Chancewellnitz — 20 Jun 2011

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 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.
