Most helpful review Farce of the Penguins

  • A Farce

    Rated - 1.0 star

    The film's a Farce!

    Dull colour on the very poor penguin footage they have used.

    Not particularly nice on the eye and not particularly funny either.

    My advice.... give it a miss!

    There is nothing new or original with the footage of this film, in fact its very boring. The dialogue is so unfunny, its funny. I mean that it is terrible crap. (I tried to get rid of the half star but it wont let me, also I was required to put at least two words in the title but they wouldn't publish what I wanted to put)

    As people have said, poor footage, poor comedy - some people shouldn't try writing comedy. I just can't believe the people involved - you have to ask at what point they sat around laughing, because we didn't. Watch the Frozen Planet for penguins and watch anything you want for comedy.

    If you read this far it just saddens me this sort of movie as younger smaller minds will absorb this as another reason not to get behind nature - you can just see them why can't we get penguin burgers - there's loads of them and they don't do anything!

    What a waste of money and time - mine and yours Samuel et al.

  • Unfunny and puerile.

    Remember as a child what you used to laugh at in the playground? If you do, and you consider it to still be funny 20 years later then 'Farce Of The Penguins' is for you. If (fortunately) your level of humour has progressed, you will turn this off very quickly. If you MUST see it, please watch it online. To commit further stocks of aluminium and plastic to produce an actual DISC of this tripe, is a terrible crime!

    Easily the funniest film I have seen for some time and one of the few to make me laugh out loud. Some of the film footage is average quality but is by no means unwatchable. The timing of the voice-overs is excellent; my particular favourite being the penguin's reaction to Jackson's narrative on their evolution as a non-flying bird. Not a film that you would want younger children to watch but is very good older teen/adult comedy.
