(Plot) An arrogant businessman's life begins to alter for the better when he inherits six penguins. His apartment becomes a suitable, winter home for the Penguins, and everything begins to change around him
Carrey's star has waned a bit over the past few years, but he can still be very funny with the proper scripts. I wouldn't say this is one of his best movies, but its decent entertainment for sure. It has plenty of slapstick gags that will get some chuckles going, and a sentimental story that rings true. Any complaints? Not really. It is very predictable, and it was easy to see where most things were headed, but it's a family film, not something that is gonna bring in the Oscars. Jim Carrey is funny as per usual, and I enjoyed him immensely. His interactions with the Penguins were cute & amusing. Carla Gugino is a classy lady, and made for a good love interest. Angela Lansbury has a small, but effective role, whilst Clark Gregg steals every scene he's in.
Final Thoughts: This is a good rental or a good selection on Netflix if you are looking for something to watch. It's also a film the whole family can get some kicks out of. It's not great, but I felt it was decent. Give it a whirl
6/10
