A bit too easy, but fun for the kids
16 August 2011
When a workaholic guy gets a penguin from his deceased father it is clear that he isn't cut out for taking care for such an animal. So when he gets more of them that can only spell disaster. Good thing for him he is able to adapt.

A simple film, a simple typical story, but more or less enjoyable, especially for kids. Carrey again shows off his ability to pull the maddest faces known to man, the necessary evil characters perform their role believably, and everyone else is fitting enough. It's all just too easy, it is clear that little effort was taken to build anything more than just the penguins. If the penguins are removed all that is left is a hollow template that has been used for too many films before and that doesn't do this film the right to exist it deserves.

So, all in all, kids will enjoy this, their parents probably won't.
