Trivia
Dave's direct orders to his octopus cronies incorporate a celebrity's name, e.g. "Drew! Barry! More power!"; "Anthony and Michael, haul them away", "Nicolas, cage them!"; "Charlize, they're on the ray!"; "Hugh, Jack, man the battle stations."; "Halle, bury them."; "Kevin, bake on; we're still gonna need that victory cake."; "Robin, write this down."; "Helen, hunt them down!"; "William, hurt them." ; "Parker! Posey! Go all terrain!" ; "Elijah, would you please take them away?". The relevant celebrities are Drew Barrymore, Anthony Michael Hall, Nicolas Cage, Charlize Theron, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Kevin Bacon, Robin Wright, Helen Hunt, William Hurt, Parker Posey and Elijah Wood. The idea had already been used two years earlier in Escape from Planet Earth (2012).

Goofs
Venice has no roads for automobiles. The truck loaded with watermelons would not be in a city accessible only by boat or foot.

Quotes
Dave: Charlize, they're on the ray! Helen, hunt them down! William, hurt them! Halle, bury them! Hugh! Jack! Man the battle stations! Kevin! Bake on! We're still going to need that victory cake!

Crazy credits
When the film begins, a glacier calves (breaks off ice) to reveal the Dreamworks Animation logo, the logo portion then calves again to replace the boy holding the fishing pole with the four penguins standing on each others' shoulders.

9/10

laugh riot , go for it

It is funny all the way , never a dull moment . They managed to sneak in touching moments too . These penguins are wily & go-getters . Nobody can mess with them . Kowalski is tech support , skipper is leader (obviously) , rico is worker & private is sincere eager follower . They can and do outwit everybody . I remember in 'madagascar 3' where skipper said 'you only get one chance at first impression' after hippo lady could not break the door . Some people are saying it as hard selling and by-product of successful 'madagascar' franchise . But , this is thoughtfully scripted . Full entertainment for family . Dialogues are glib and mocking .
