Grandkids (ages 5, 10 & 12) all thought it was funny. I thought the language did not have to include vulgarity. It was funny without it. But that said, we all enjoyed it. I am not a hugh fan of Jim Carrey, but he did a decent job. The penquins stole the show.
We took our 2 and 6 year old granddaughters to see this movie. Very funny for us and lots of things they found funny. Animation was terrific. We will get the book and read it. Hope it lives up to the movie. I think the 3D movie would have been too scarry for them, maybe older kids would like 3D.
