Mr. Popper's Penguins (2011)

Mr. Poppers Penguins was one of my favorite books when I was a child and plus, I was a big Jim Carrey fan.

Jim Carrey's career has in many ways mirrored that of Eddie Murphy. In their early days, both had distinctive styles of their own – Murphy was fast-talking, foul-mouthed, vulgar and very funny Carrey was a manic and energetic physical comedian like one of the Three Stooges on steroids.

I was kind of interested in seeing Mr Popper's Penguins despite its somewhat lukewarm reception. I found it wasn't a bad film, there are some charming and funny moments with a good cast, but at the end of the day it is rather bland and forgettable.
