Synopsis:
Jim Carey is Mr. Popper, a driven businessman whose family is slipping away from him, until his father leaves him a Penguin in his will and his life gets turned upside down.
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.
