FUNNY FUNNY - with real penguins submitted by ssmyth on January 16, 2012, 7:12am I was suprised to see in the extras that a great deal of the film used real penguins - they were CG sometimes also. My husband (who's not one to laugh out loud) did laugh out load MANY times! Cute and Funny.

Adding on - watched it again the other night - still very FUNNY!!

good submitted by watermelon on July 18, 2012, 12:27pm i liked it, it was cute and funny. but if you liked the original book, written in the 30s, its very different, from mr poppers job to the number of penguins to the setting, ect. but as a movie, ignoring the book, it was pretty good

Funny submitted by alumeng.ajl on August 2, 2012, 3:47pm Mr. Poppers Penguins is a funny movie for children! It's a great movie for the family to watch together.

Pleasantly Surprised submitted by jarroyo on August 10, 2012, 11:04am I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I thought it wouldn't be good, but it was. It is a cute family film. As an adult I enjoyed it and my 3-year old son also liked it.

Funny Movie!! submitted by gxl on July 30, 2013, 9:48pm This movie was very funny. I really liked it. It taught a couple of good lessons. I had so much fun watching it with my family. It is a really great movie to watch with the family and it keeps you laughing. The penguins are really cute and funny. Watch it, you'll enjoy it!!

Ok family film submitted by manz on August 5, 2013, 11:27pm This movie was okay. The book was better. It was still pretty entertaining though, and family friendly. Kids age 4, 6, and 8 enjoyed it. It didn't do much for me though.

kids submitted by KSB2013 on July 3, 2016, 6:59pm good for young kids! very funny

Mr. Popper's Penguins submitted by a2sue on July 24, 2017, 12:23am I wish I could have some pet penguins like Mr. Popper!!

So Much Fun to Watch!!! submitted by gem on June 20, 2018, 11:42pm Outlandish scenario, but somehow it works. I liked to see the progression of relationship between the dad who started out cool towards his children, and the end result of interacting with and providing for the penguins and how it changed the character.

loved it submitted by autumnmist on August 16, 2019, 12:41am such a great movie!

Funny! submitted by crp on August 24, 2019, 11:03pm Loved this one- everyone found it good

Mr. Popper's Penguins submitted by SBNB on June 12, 2022, 1:41pm I've never read the book, so I don't know how it compares, but I thought this movie was pretty good. My kids enjoyed it more than they expected to.
