    This is an enjoyable family film that is suitable for kids of all ages despite the PG rating. Jim Carrey stars as the ultra successful and rising successful businessman for a real estate acquisition firm who has sacrificed his career over his family. Through a gift given by his belated father, six adorable penguins and the mayhem that followed he learns the value of family and turns his life around. Nothing extraordinary about the plot, but the cast does a good job and makes the movie flow fairly well. A little too much of Carrey and his slapstick humor was intentional put into the movie, but luckily the story and life lesson messages saves the movie.
