What it's about: Inspired by the children's book of the same name, this silly movie follows a group of penguins kept by a successful real-estate developer in a Manhattan apartment in the hopes that his kids will hang around more. He slowly slips from work-hungry to penguin caretaker and ultimate family man thanks to the flightless birds and their antics.
What to look out for: This movie has about as much slapstick humor as you'd expect from a Jim Carrey movie, and though your kids will giggle uncontrollably at all of it, there is one caveat: Carrey's character is divorced and the film has a very "happily ever after" ending that might give unrealistic expectations to children of divorce regarding their own parents.
