Last night Wendi and I took ourselves off to Hyde Park to see Mr Popper’s Penguins.
What a fantastically fun film!
Based on a book of the same name by Richard & Florence Atwater, the film takes the basic principals and makes the story its own.
A tough businessman inherits 6 cheeky penguins from his father. The penguins turn his life upside down and Mr Popper learns a few life lessons along the way.
Jim Carrey is, well, typically Jim Carrey and he pulls off being Mr Popper brilliantly.
Using a mix of live penguins and fantastic CGI effects, the penguins will steal your heart pretty much the way they steal the show!
The acting is great, with a fantastic supporting cast including Angela Lansbury. The sets are beautiful and the dialog quick and witty.
The film is full of comedy, romance, life lessons and a fart joke or two and will keep the whole family entertained for a very enjoyable hour and a half.
I would definitely recommend taking the family to see Mr Popper’s Penguins this weekend.
As an aside I have to take my hat off to the staff at Nu Metro Hyde Park!
Running a little late, Wendi and I flew in to buy our tickets and get some popcorn to nosh on, and somewhere along the line I left my cell phone and keys on a counter somewhere. When I realised and rushed out to see if they were still there I discovered that the concession stand guy had taken them to be locked up in the rather large safe in the office. They did have a good chuckle at me but I could have kissed them for keeping my things safe.
Thank you!!!
That is excellent service from Nu Metro Hyde Park for keeping those things of yours safe. Thanks for mentioning that.
Thank you for the review on the movie – also want to take the kids to see it.
Wow, you were so lucky with that phone and keys.
Now that’s service!
