Farce Of The Penguins DVD Review: Why, Bob Saget? Why?
I really don’t know why I’m surprised. The word ‘farce’ in the title should have been a dead giveaway. This was a complete waste of time for anyone who had anything to do with this movie, including me.
Farce Of The Penguins is Bob Saget’s ‘humorous’ parody on the award winning French film, March Of The Penguins. Instead of smart and witty commentary about the lives of these artic birds, Saget interjects poorly written and boring commentary about their sexual habits and digestive systems. Led by Samuel L. Jackson, a large cast of comedians and recognizable voices try to give these creatures personalities and senses of humor, but mostly they’re all just a collection of one-liners. It was all really disappointing.
While watching this, I could only imagine how little of an effort was made to create such an unimaginative film. It literally appears that Saget called up a bunch of his friends (including some Full House cast mates), threw them all in a recording booth, and just told them to ‘wing it’. I must of taken him minutes of preparation and hard work to produce this travesty. Halfway through the picture there is even some self-deprecating dialogue between a few of the voices about the film itself. Truly the last cheap attempt at a couple of laughs. Even with all of that, it wasn’t until the voice of Carlos Mencia (he is NOT funny) made it’s appearance when I completely wrote off the movie all together. If I had a gun, I would have shot my DVD player. I may set the DVD on fire just for kicks though. Avoid this movie at ALL costs.
Dear Bob Saget,
Thank you for making sure the word “farce” was written in italics on your poster.
Sincerely,
People Paula
C’mon Aaron… “I must of taken him minutes of preparation” would not get by any spell checker…

my friend made me watch this movie telling me it was the funniest movie ever. and then he wouldnt stop quoting the damn thing after we’d seen it! all i know is that my face is sore from all that faux smiling. im only 12 and even i know that movie was @#$!. i mean maybe its just that i dont like movies with talking animals in them but it was just so lame! as far as parodies go this movie appeared to have no purpose that a 10 second commercial couldnt have acheived. i am absolutely appalled at how this movie even got made, its so friggin childish (fart humour, are ALL of the audience meant to be 5?) yet all they talk about is sex! anyone whos thinking about seeing this movie, watch happy feet instead as im sure it’ll be more mature than this!
