I saw it with my family. They all seemed to really enjoy it. They actually laughed several times through. I didn't think it was bad either. No nominations from me, except some CGI award.

I just saw it,but won't review it.

It started off as a harmless family movie(which is quite rare),but during the last part it became too corny.Throughout,it was predictable and not really funny.

I give it 4/10.

F.Y.C.:
-Actor:Maybe.I re-read HeadRAZZ's posts about how being an actor also means to choose the right roles,and he has good points.
-Supp. Actress;Couple/Ensemble:No.The only other cast member in consideration is Carla Gugino because she was also in SUCKER PUNCH.She was decent in that one,and nothing worth mentioning here.And while at times I felt the relationship between Carrey and the penguins was forced,and in one scene rushed,overall it was OK.
-Director:No.
-Screenplay;Remake:Maybe.I've heard it's berry different from the book,but is it enough to rape child memories?
-Picture;Excuse For Family Entertainment:No.

Just watched it, have to say, the penguins' names are f***ing horrible! e.g. Bitey, Stinky, Loudy, Lovey. Also, Clark Gregg had quite a s**t supporting role, in which later on during the film, SPOILER ALERT: His character was going to trade the penguins for animals like Bengal tigers, WHO F***ING DOES THAT!]]> Wed, 20 Jul 2011 22:27:59 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5122&PID=44223#44223 DISCUSSION & ADD'L INFO on MR.

This one really hurts, as Richard and Florence Atwater's book was one of my favorites as a child.  While I was hoping it would reach the big screen some day, I'd always imagined it as more a period piece, to be set around the time the book was in fact written; even reading it in the early 90s, that seemed right for the story they were telling; certainly, in today's financial world, showing the Poppers' overt financial travails, balanced PROPERLY with the difficulties of raising an increasingly large number of penguins would have hit a chord with people still struggling to find jobs in the recovery (assuming they'd have the money to buy a movie ticket, that is).  And the humor there was perfect, with everything naturally coming from the penguins' natural instincts.  Some time down the road, if someone actually wants to try it this way, then maybe they'd have a worthwhile picture, but this, no, not in the least.  Now if someone even so much as touches The Cricket in Times Square (Chuck Jones's adaptation in the 70s, though somewhat compressed, works well enough as it is, as did its 2 holiday followups), somebody just might get thrown off the studio roof...]]> Tue, 05 Jul 2011 08:29:09 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5122&PID=43736#43736 DISCUSSION & ADD'L INFO on MR.

Carrey did win a Golden Globe for Man on the Moon but, fortunately, he did not get an Oscar nomination for it.

And no, I am not going to accept Man on the Moon inspite of Carrey's Oscar nomination, which was a very misguided gesture on the part of AMPAS.
 

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: For the curious, here is an IMDb LINK to their page listing all award nominations for Jim Carrey. He has never been an Academy Award® nominee, but if you scroll way down the page, you'll see that he has been a RAZZIE® contender...TWICE!

Sorry, WTP, but here at the Razzies (and throughout most of the entertainment industry), The Golden Globes get no respect. Mostly, it's because their voters are in the 90 member range, if that! By comparison, the Razzie voting member numbers are closer to 700! And Carrey could have won those awards by getting less than 30% of those 90 votes!

Carrey also won a Golden Globe for Truman Show and Man in the Moon. Wink

True comedic genius remains laugh out loud funny throughout the ages and with each viewing of a movie. Carrey's stuff might make you laugh out loud the first time you see it, but years later, you're lucky if you can work up a chuckle upon seeing that movie again.]]> Mon, 20 Jun 2011 17:18:34 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5122&PID=42966#42966 DISCUSSION & ADD'L INFO on MR.

True, those movies do prove that he CAN act. However, they don't prove that he's an "incredible" actor, just a better-than-average one.
