Movies Exposed: Mr. Popper's Penguins
I know that I am one of the few but I had never heard of Mr. Popper's Penguins before the film. So I went into this very blindly. This is not my normal type of movie to see in theaters. I really only went because my niece earned straight A's in school and Uncle Monty had to reward.
I found myself falling asleep quite a bit in this movie, which is not a very good sign. So in turn, I missed a lot of the plot. Like, I didn't understand how more than one penguin was shipped. But that is my fault for not being awake during the movie. The film had a nice warm feeling to it. I just couldn't get into it. Even Jim Carrey didn't bring enough to revive the film for me. For me the shining light was the subtle comedy by Ophelia Lovibond as Pippi. I love her alliteration and her overall presence in the movie. I just wanted more scenes with her in it.
Overall, I give it 2/5 stars. I would wait for it to come on ABC family.
