Who doesn't love Jim Carey in a movie with animals? It's not an accident that Ace Ventura is a Carey-cult favorite; not even the cutest, most adorable of Nature's creatures can upstage the gangly funny man when he's at the top of his game. And let's face it: Jim Carey needs a decent shot at redemption after breaking-up with Jenny McCarthy and failing to captivate audiences with his less-than-thespian portrayal of a gay con-man. Mr. Popper's Penguins promises vintage Carey with a proven plot. "An updated version of the classic 1939 children's classic, this version of Mr. Popper's Penguins features Carey as Tom Popper, ace businessman, who inherits six penguins—alternately represented by real penguins and some genuinely amazing CGI bird-body doubles. Naturally, penguins and professionalism do not mix, and Mr. Popper struggles mightily with his dilemma while the audience discovers—like rubber chickens and Schectady—penguins always are funny…especially when they dance. Maybe best of all, Mr. Popper's Penguins will give smile-starved families a little relief from summer 2011's relentless onslaught of ripped-from-the-comic-books action adventures.
