Penguins everywhere
30 June 2011
The Movie itself is a family movie, one you can go to watch with your kids. If you can come to terms with the fact it is a family movie, then you will catch the fun in watching the movie. The plot is similar to all those Disney Flicks we are use to, Man puts work above family and then he has to take care of something (usually someone), then he realizes what is more important and forfeit his work to be a good father and husband. Mr Popper doesn't fall far from this tree of genre, as the plot shows Mr. Popper (Carrey), a slick real estate broker in New York City. His ex-wife (Carla Gugino), a young son (Maxwell Perry Cotton) and teen daughter (Madeline Carroll) and a fancy apartment.

He also has an assistant named Pippi who makes sure her sentences always have words beginning in P.

Mr Popper is the best at what he does resulting in a broken home and creating a gap between him and his kids. One day, Mr. Popper receives a crate containing a penguin, an inheritance from his father, who was usually absent in Mr Poppers life while growing up. In the process of getting rid of the Penguin he ends up with more penguins.

Carrey well wasn't extraordinary in this movie as you will expect, as he plays a role not requiring a lot of skills, skills he is blessed with.

I wont say the movie is bad, cause i enjoyed it and believe you and your family will too.
