Jim Carrey is exactly like he is in all his other films. A Jim Carrey film is a bit of a guilty pleasure - you know exactly what you're going to get. You know full well there will be many scenes where he will be over acting and pulling faces so it seems surly to be irritated by it, so just chill and giggle at the silliness of it. I was just flicking through the comedy films for something to watch. I'm somehow surprised that there is a Jim Carrey film that I'd never heard of. The Penguins are so well done they are so believable, they are the stars. The backstory around his wife is all a bit glossed over, not really important. On the other hand the important story about his father is also pretty much on the periphery. If you like Penguins and enjoy them causing chaos, then you'll enjoy this film.
