This is a pretty good comedy about people and animals getting along. In fact, there are not many films of this type. However, the reason why this one looks special is that it pays more attention to the family, except that the animals are not ordinary cats and dogs.

In general, this is still an entertainment-oriented film. Although it also raises some questions about family, love, animals and the environment, it has not been deeply analyzed, and it is still on the surface. However, as a commercial film, it is also You can't ask too much from it, at least the viewing experience is good, and it also has a good effect of entertaining the public.

The protagonist Jim Carrey has lived in the time of waiting for his father since he was a child. Because of his work, his father often went on adventures, so he seldom accompanied him, which made him focus on his career achievements when he grew up. In this regard, He has done a great job, and he can win even difficult clients, but in terms of educating children and family affection, there is nothing missing, and children are not willing to stay with this busy father. It seems like a machine, and it invests very little in love, thinking that only material things can make up for family affection.
On an ordinary day, he suddenly received a call from a lawyer and was told that his father had passed away and sent him a gift. A penguin broke into his life, and when he wanted to get rid of the trouble, he Others brought five penguins. Just when he was worried about these penguins, he brought his children to him in the early stage. The children were very happy to see the penguins. Jim Carrey thought this was a good opportunity to get closer to the children. So let's take this little trouble for the time being.

The next thing is a matter of course. During the life contact between Jim Carrey and the children and this group of penguins, they gradually discovered that the family is the most important thing. The former elite mansion has also become a winter playground. He has changed, and he even In order to hatch a penguin egg, he carefully searched for information and took care of it. Although the egg still did not hatch in the end, he understood the meaning of life. Although there are some routines, Hollywood is able to take these things you already know and shoot them without being boring. In such a story, how can there be no villain, so the director of "SHIELD", as the director of the zoo in this movie, acts as a villain who wants to exchange penguins for other rare animals, of course. , This bad guy is really designed to be dispensable, he was defeated as soon as he appeared, but it may be because this drama mainly faces teenagers, so it is not suitable for the plot to fluctuate too much, but I think it can still be To do better, there is one line I did not say, that is, about the Greenland Hotel, the concept of the male protagonist is also changing, from the beginning of wanting to acquire, to the end, wanting to keep this beautiful memory with my father , extending to the last meal with the child, the lover, at the former table, he also experienced his father's love for him.

Through the perspective of the late father, the ex-wife, the child, and the penguin, this film tells Jim Carrey the importance of family, and the bold application of the penguin makes the whole film interesting, so Still worth seeing.

The film production is still good, the penguin basically can't see that it is special effects production, and the construction of the scene is very good, the soundtrack is also just right, the rhythm is very strong, and it fits the picture very well. Said Jim Carrey's acting style is too much, but I still think that his expression is really rich, his eyes are also very good, a great comedian.
