The makers of the new kids film Mr. Popper's Penguins
seem to have built the film on three main conceits: 1.) Penguins are
inherently cute and funny 2.) Penguins are even cuter and funnier when
they poop, fart, or fall over, and 3.) Jim Carrey is inherently entertaining when he acts like Jim Carrey,
not an actual person you might ever meet in real life. And judging by
the reaction of the crowd I saw the movie with, they were right, as kids
and many of the adults laughed at the antics of Carrey and his six waddling co-stars, "eeewwed" when a penguin pooped or farted, and "aaawwed" when a penguin did something cute.
