Between Snakes On A Plane and Farce of the Penguins, one really wonders what Samuel Jackson has been smoking. This Jackson-narrated mockmentary of March of the Penguins, written and directed by Bob Saget (America's Funniest Home Videos), highlights the penguins' lascivious side, as the male's march inland to find mating partners. Overdubbed with human voices, Farce stars three penguins, Carl (Bob Saget), a neurotic, insecure bird whose search for true love has so far been in vain, Jimmy (Lewis Black), a mobster-like father figure who encourages Carl to keep up hope, and Marcus (Tracy Morgan), a smooth, African American penguin with a self-professed huge penis. Miles away, as the men journey inward, fighting off seals and engaging in therapy sessions with snowy owls along the way, Vicky (Mo'nique) tells Melissa (Christina Applegate) that someday her Prince Charming will come, which, predictably, he does. Watching penguins discussing the meaning of life, questioning their annual masochistic hike through tundra, or wondering if they have eating disorders is funny for about ten minutes. Samuel Jackson, the ultimate omniscient narrator, furthering the story between scenes is also odd and laughable. But Farce of The Penguins relies on its lewd humor for laughs, and though it is disarming to see waddling birds cuss, Farce's one-liner gets old. Yes, penguins have sex. Farce of the Penguins is a fun idea perhaps taken too far. Nonetheless, there is always something pleasing about anthropomorphizing animals, especially for lovers of crude sex jokes. --Trinie Dalton

I love this movie. Watching it makes me feel there is some humor left in this world. I love the irreverance of the cast is great and it is definently not for children

A great little comedy. Gotta be open minded.
It was done for entertainment only...To Laugh a little.
It is of actual live footage of penguins. It's the dialogue that some people seem to have the difference of opinion.
I liked it. Funny!

This is possibly the worst movie i have in my DVD collection. As a matter of fact,Iam embarrassed I purchased it. The cover is misleading. Foul language seemed like every other word.

Not some french-e-fried, for profit, disguised as a documentary Penguin exploit film. This is pure penguin lust as foretold in "Bloom County". Thanks to Lewis Black, Christina Applegate, and all the others for the best comedy in 2007.
