Mr. Poppers Penguins

Mr. Poppers Penguins is absolutely the most hilarious film of Jim Carey's career.  Nimrod the penguin steals the show by being sillier than Jim Carey usually is!  Jim 's character gets to learn about his family's life by learning to have a compassionate heart.  He learns this "compassionate thing" throughout the movie.  He gets the penguins as a weird gift from his Dad.  He ends up taking care of an egg from one of the penguins for a good part of the film.  This was a really heart warming part of the movie.  Jim's character battles repeatedly with an obnoxious zoo person who is so smarmt that you just want to see him get a smack in the face.  This zoo keeper is kind of like Jim's character in the beginnin gof the movie--utterly heartless.  The zoo keeper was condescending as well.  In the end, Jim learns to have a big and open heart.  Absolutely a big 10!
