About what one should expect from Hollywood & Jim Carey
9 July 2011
This movie is predictable in both content and quality. It is surprising and disquieting that so many reviewers are raving about this as "family fare" ~ perhaps it's the same poster using aliases. Jim Carey is himself and the scat humor is unnecessary. The relationships of the characters are stereotypical and pathetically overused ~ are there no married couples with children who have a normal life style any more? Finally, this movie bears no resemblance to the book which the title was lifted from apart from the obligatory penguins. It is trash and indicative of the twaddle that dribbles out of the media elite who haven't the decency to just leave iconic stories (Where The Wild Things Are, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, etc) alone and tag their flights of fancy with a simple "inspired by ...." tag at the end of the credits.

If Hollywood and the Screen Actors' Guild really want to stop piracy, they should consider doing something to EARN their ticket sales instead of insulting audiences.
