Mr Popper's Penguins


Two reason to watch this movie:-First , a different Jim Carrey.Unlike his comedy performance in previous film , Carrey did a wonderful job in this movie. Second , CG Penguins, they are simply wonderful, i liked  them so much.

The story is based on the classic children book with the same name written by Richard and Florence Atwater. Popper, like his father did not spend much time with his children,he is divorced.His children and wife lives separately. His father was explorer who never spent his days in home.
Story is based on this book

His life takes a turn when his father's penguins arrive at his store step.First one arrives, due to miscommunication  five more arrives. His children loves the penguins, once again he is getting closer and closer with his children and wife.Mean while the zoo keeper is pursuing Popper to send the penguins to the zoo where they will be given proper care.

One of the penguin's egg did not hatch as Popper expected, so he ask the zoo keeper to them to zoo.When his children asks him about the missing penguins he told that 'those are birds and they dont have love'. They were angry on him for giving the birds to zoo. While searching something he noticed the letter sent to him by his father with the penguin , his father wrote about filial love and the love shown by penguins.  He decided to get the penguins back from the zoo.

He call his wife and kids and visits  zoo and to get those penguins back.The climax shows whether Mr.Popper got his penguins back or not.There is a side story of Popper pursuing the old lady to sell the restaurant but the old lady refuses until she understood his love for his family and the penguins.

Feel good movie, can watch once.
