Mr. Popper's Penguins - 6 stars out of 10

"Mr. Popper's Penguins" is precisely what you would expect from the title - a cheesy family comedy filled with adorable penguins. The computer animation is incredible, but even more incredible is the interaction between the humans and the edited-in penguins. As you watch, you will forget that these animals are computer animated because the live actors are so precise. Carrey's famed over-the-top acting is perfect to make his interactions with the penguins believable. The rest of the acting is mediocre but let's face it - if you see this film, it's either because you like Jim Carrey or you think that penguins are adorable. Mission accomplished. Although there are 3-too-many poop jokes, the story is entertaining while providing a few positive moral lessons (and featuring an AWESOME hockey jersey). It's not a masterpiece but it's definitely worth a watch.
