Popper's Penguins Not Just for Kids
PostedJune 19, 2011

I thought I'd be the only adult in the audience. Not so, though I may have been the only one in the place without kids! No matter. I wanted to see something light and fun and the penguins cinched it. A sweet and sentimental film for a Sunday afternoon that kept even the littlest kids enthralled. I bet none of us could tell the real penguins from the CGI ones, and didn't care. And Jim Carrey, still funny, managed to tamp down the over-the-top stuff and be more "human." I left the theater feeling good, and that's no small thing nowadays.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

KRISTIN WIIG WORTH THE TICKET

Of course, I would rather that an all female cast could get a movie made without having to add gross-out scenes, but having said that, this movie has laughs, seems real, and is touching -- not an easy thing to pull off. Kristin Wiig is going to be an even bigger star. She is crazy but grounds her character,and her real friendship with Maya Rudolph really adds to the on-screen chemistry. Melissa McCarthy from GILMORE GIRLS and MIKE & MOLLY is fearless. True comedians have no vanity, and she is willing to make you wince and laugh at the same time. BRIDESMAIDS is not as good as THE HANGOVER, but it's a fun way to spend two hours. To Chris O'Dowd: special kudos for an appealing Irish cop that everyone would like to be pulled over by....but traffic stops are never like this, are they?
Yes, I recommend this movie.
