However bad the filmed seemed to me is a completely irrelevant issue, for it is clearly a film for children and children alone. Personally, what I took away from Mr Popper's Penguins is the following:

A) Stealing animals from a zoo is completely acceptable.
B) You can flood your whole flat with water with it having no adverse effect on the rest of the building. And then you can fill it with frozen water (snow) without it having an adverse effect on the rest of the building.
C) It's fine to say "Where are you going to take me this time, Popper?" to your ex-husband, whilst you're sitting beside your current boyfriend, whom you are about to go on holiday with.

Those are just three observation that, as a semi-mature adult, I couldn't help but make. But there were loads more. I could write a whole essay. Other fairly significant problems outside of the abysmal plot; Jim Carrey's face. He is beginning to show his age, and I found myself constantly distracted by two large ageing lines on each cheek. It was seriously a case of, "what did he just say? I was too busy gawping at his old face." And there's there's that whole female teenage angst shit. God, it's f**king awful. The kids will like it, though. Oh, and they cut Carrey's fantastic laugh which was included in the trailer. Madness!
