Mr. Popper's Penguins
(2011)
Based on the
children's book of the same name this film from director Mark Waters
stars Jim Carrey, Angela Lansbury and Carla Gugino. A divorced
business man inherits some penguins from his father that disappeared
from his life.
The plot of this film
does not have a lot in common with the book it is based on and is
throughly predictable. What the plot needs is the film to be carried
by Jim Carry but there is rarely enough humour for Carry to flex his
muscles. About the best thing you can say about this film is that it
is pretty inoffensive, as long as you aren't the ex-wife's new boy
friend who gets passed over for no reason so the protagonist can get
his family back together.
3/5
