    After I Love You Phillip Morris, Jim Carrey plays it safe with this penguin family comedy.

    Mr Popper’s Penguins is the sort of film we don’t really see that much anymore - good, old-fashioned, wholesome family fun. There’s something in here for all ages, and someone to identify with for every member of the family. It is a family film though, this is not a film you’re going to go and see with a group of friends, it’s the sort of film you’re going to take your kids and your nieces and nephews to, and they’ll like it. They’ll like it because of the cute penguins and the realistic CGI and you’ll like it not just because it keeps them quiet but also because it’s harmless fun.

    A lot of the chuckles come from the penguins antics, and there are certainly plenty of aahhhhh moments, but there are also some witty moments too, clearly meant for the adults in attendance.

    A lot of the story is clichéd - the high-flying executive who doesn’t have time for his family, who eventually comes to realise the true value of life - isn’t anything new, it just happens to be via a colony (crèche, huddle and parcel are also acceptable collective nouns) of penguins in this instance!

    I thought this would be rubbish a Jim Carrey has not been very choosey with his recent films. A pleasant suprise and well worth the watch. A good family entertainment film.

    Really enjoyed this easy to watch comedy. Obvious humor with, admittedly, not the best story plot, this film has the feel good factor. Great to watch after a hard day at work with friends or family.
