Mr. Popper's Penguins
2011
In this live-action adaptation of Richard and Florence Atwater's classic children's book, Jim Carrey takes on the titular role of Mr. Popper, a businessman who inherits a small flock of penguins and must transform his Manhattan apartment into an arctic habitat.
Synopsis compliments of Netflix
Very pleasantly surprised by this simple family movie. Carrey can be phenomenal or just plain annoying, but his performance works well here. Wouldn't be the same without the adorable penguins, but was better than I expected.
