Review of Mr. Popper's Penguins (2011) by Perfectcritic — 30 Aug 2012
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.
