Rating: 3/10 (8 December 2006)

So I let my girlfriend talk me into going to see this movie. First off, I don't mind animated movies, I mean, Madagascar and Over the Hedge were pretty good. But this, I don't know. Not my cup of tea.
Story: I like the penguin thing, thats OK, but the singing and dancing just gets me. I was bored the whole movie. It's a cliché' ugly duckling story that they just couldn't get off the ground. And how many times are we going to show how awful humans are in these kid's movies and still not do a damn thing in reality to fix it? But thats another topic all together. (1 out of 10) Acting: The voice acting is just par with a children's movie. Nothing special here. (4 out of 10) Special Effects/Graphics: Its animated, so it's limited right off the bat, but because it is set in Antarcitca, there is nothing but white snow and blue sky and water textures. The scenery gets old real fast, I mean, how many little snow covered knolls can these penguins transverse before it becomes, well, BAD. But I guess a winter desert would be boring in real life too. (2 out of 10) Overall: Leave this movie for the kids. If you are unfortunate like myself and get dragged to it by your girlfriend, sit in the back and try and make out through as much of it as possible. (3 out of 10)
