A rather routine lesson in what's really important in life kind of movie, "Mr. Popper's Penguins" delivers some routine sight gags and mugging opportunities for Jim Carrey and a few scene stealing occasions for Angela Lansbury. The special effects with the penguins are seamless and unobtrusive - you're more apt to wonder, "How did they get those penguins to do that?" than to marvel at the pyrotechnics. The cast is fine, and the kids will enjoy it, but for adults it's skating on thin ice.
