I (Maddie) love penguins.
I have always had a love of penguins. I particularly fell in love with penguins after reading the book Mr. Popper's Penguins as a child.
I was really excited when I heard that this book was going to be made into a movie; I even re-read it before I saw it in theaters, hoping it would live up to my expectations. Unfortunately I was disappointed with this adaption. It didn't stay true to the book at all, with the exception of Mr. Popper and eight penguins. Some parts were funny, but the mildly amusing humor didn't ultimately redeem this movie for me
Hanna's thoughts: "I was not a crazy fan of the book like Maddie was, so an adaption that was 100% true to the book was not something which was very near and dear to my heart. However, that aside, I still was not a fan of this movie. In a nutshell, penguins create mayhem, there's potty jokes galore, and Mr. Popper goes into a crazy depression in which he completely isolates his family. If you must see this movie, borrow it from a friend. Don't bother spending your money on this one."
