    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      What attracted Jim Carrey to this role more than anything else was the chance to dance with penguins like his hero Dick Van Dyke did in Mary Poppins (1964).
    • Goofs
      Even penguin eggs must be kept warm to hatch. The movie implies otherwise.
    • Quotes

      Mr. Popper: Hello! I have to send the penguins back.

      Voice On Phone: Send-da-penguin?

      Mr. Popper: Yes, send penguins.

    • Crazy credits
      No penguins were harmed in the making of this film. Jim Carrey, on the other hand, was bitten mercilessly. But he had it coming.

    I expected something else...
    ...a bizarre comedy with the penguins as the main starlets.

    This was not really the case.

    It is a family movie you watch round Christmas and feel a little cheered afterward.

    Hollywood is really amazing! In a a bad way. It has one single obsessive theme in most of its movies: the absent father and the relationship divorced father - his kids. I think the writers at Hollywood have real childhood issues and should see a pshycologist about it, instead of being so damn repetitive in every movie! But the penguins not been transformed into humans - like the apes in the awful "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" - is a good thing.

    Angela Landsbury has aged. But she is still a very sympathetic grand old lady. I love her! 6.5/10. An OK movie!
