A Waste of Talent
19 July 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Not even the grand cast of star power could save this. Samuel L. Jackson's narration doesn't even save it, and he had quite a lot of lines. You can certainly tell that this movie is written by Bob Saget. His jokes were never that funny and he certainly shows that he tries too hard.

The majority of the jokes come from penis references and flatulent humour. They aren't clever nor original. I can't see how anyone could find this movie funny or enjoyable.

The editing is poor to say the least and the musical numbers were performed terribly. This movie is trying way too hard to be something special. If you can use that word, this film is specially bad.

Christina Applegate plays Melissa and she is looking for a nice guy. Carl (played by Saget) is looking for a girl who gets him - which just so happens to be Melissa. When they do finally meet after a long 55 minutes or so, they fall in love in a matter of 5 minutes. Then there is the clichéd storyline of best friends hating each other over a girl.

It completely boggles my mind that the number of stars such as: Dane Cook, Norm Macdonald, Jason Alexander, Samuel L. Jackson, Christina Applegate, Woopi Goldberg, and Lewis Black signed the dotted line for this film. Do I even have to call it a film? It's far from being something entertaining.

If there was any thought of consideration of this film for you reading this take this review with you and sleep on it. If you watch this movie, you will definitely want your 75 minutes back -- trust me. If you are looking for a movie about penguins you might want to see is March of the Penguins, narrated by Morgan Freeman.

Don't waste time or money on Farce of the Penguins. If you do watch this movie you'll only like the line by Dane Cook's character, at the end of the film, so do yourself a favour and search the clip on YouTube and spare your time for something worthy.
