SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

kols One of those hate it or love it things, I guess. Never saw March but have seen a lot of nature shows that cover the same territory. So wasn't even prejudiced by the movie it was supposed to parody. Probably a good thing - without any preconceptions, like who the hell is this Sargent guy and did anyone ever really watch Full House, I just watched the movie on the screen and enjoyed it for the stupid piece of fluff it was. No huge laughs, no brilliant references to March that I know of, just a really dumb entertainment. The only memorable line (or the only line I remember): "we didn't do it the usual way" in the context of one mates going nuts over the other mates infidelity and the paternity of The Egg. If you don't expect Shakespeare, you might enjoy it.

mardawgX3 Farce of The Penguins is one of the worst, most boring, lamest and stupid wastes of money it has ever been my extreme disappointment to have endured. It is so bad that watching it all the way through is in itself a Christ-like endeavor. It is so bad, so mind numbingly boring and dull that I found myself losing large blocks of memory and suffering gaps in time as I drifted in and out of semi consciousness as it dragged by minute after stupor inducing minute. Seconds felt like miniature eternities. Imagine watching Dune the whole way through without the half a dozen interesting bits to keep you partially interested. Now imagine that except at 1/2 speed and Lewis Black making anal sex jokes as the rest of the incredibly banal commentary slows to almost sub atomic speeds. It was similar to experiencing several boring people that you would otherwise never listen to talk during a mostly white screen filled with waddling penguins set on a loop for 2 hours. Kill it with fire. Seriously.

TheGhostofFreedom You can't go into this movie with hopes of a witty comedy with the cleanliness of Full House (despite it being made with Bob Saget and Jon Stamos and Dave Coulier being in it). Bob Saget's stand-up humor is not like Full House or AFHV, and it shines through brightly in this parody of March of the Penguins. Now, I liked March, I thought it was a great documentary. However, I knew this movie would be basically the opposite of this, and a lot of dirty humor, and I wasn't disappointed. You can't have standards when watching this movie, and sometimes, it's best to just watch a literally mindless comedy. You can't be serious about everything all the time. Even parodying of Morgan Freeman (who did an excellent job narrating March) with Samuel L. Jackson was great too.

guyfromjerzee Bob Saget is a talented comedian, without a doubt. Anyone who only knows him from "Full House" and "America's Funniest Home Videos" is missing out on a lot. He is by no means a wholesome, family-oriented comedian that most people expect. His brand of comedy is uniquely edgy, and the fact that these dirty things are coming out of Danny Tanner's mouth makes him even funnier. Like with one of his previous directorial efforts "Dirty Work," "Farce of the Penguins" has several moments where you're laughing at the film more than with it. Unfortunately, this film has way too moments where it breaks the fourth wall, with moments like two French penguins (supposedly from the hit "March of the Penguins") watching the film and snobbishly criticizing it for being too crude. I can't deny that I was laughing throughout at least 70 percent of the film. It's certainly not a bad idea for a film: Making a parody of "MOTP" by using found footage and providing funny voice-overs. But like I said, the novelty wears off after a while. What is the novelty? The penguins are supposedly talking to each other...yet their mouths don't move. OK, I know you're supposed to suspend disbelief when watching movies, but this is a little too much disbelief to suspend. Even if this were an animated flick, the penguins mouths would be moving, helping the audience suspend disbelief. The voices are provided by tons of talented comedians, including (one of my favorites) Lewis Black, Whoopi Goldberg, Mo'Nique, Carlos Mencia, and Mario Cantone. Luckily, the way overrated Dane Cook only has a small cameo. The main voices are provided by Saget and Black, who both deliver plenty of laughs. OK, I'm not going to totally bash the film's visuals. There are moments where the stock footage is used wisely. Saget had a lot of experience providing voice-overs to found footage when he hosted "America's Funniest Home Videos." I'm sure that helped him conjure up the idea for this film. But film is, after all, a visual medium. So watching the same boring shots of penguins waddling across the ice or simply standing around gets tiresome after a while. I appreciate Saget's effort, but the idea could've been executed more effectively. Look out for Gilbert Gottfried's cameo. It's probably the funniest moment in the film.
