Jim Carrey as Mr. Popper is restrained in this family friendly movie. Some of the charm of the original book is lost by the contemporary New York setting. The film has a bright happy look highlighted by excellent art direction and set design.
It's a harmless enough and would have received a "G" rating except for plenty of penguin poo. In a summer filled with super heroes and explosions it is a welcome change of pace.
The best scenes involve the penguins. As go the penguins so goes the movie. It's a message movie on the importance of family and don't sell out for a fish.
