Too Weird and Way Too Long

Rating: 1/10 (18 November 2006)

I did not like this movie. My toddler cousin enjoyed the previews that played more than the actual movie we paid for. There were a few laughs, but just way too much going on while, at the same time, nothing really happened. Way too long; kids were crying and asking if it was over when it was only at the halfway mark. It seemed way too politically correct and "socially acceptable" for a children's movie; they don't worry about that stuff! I would have loved to have walked out if the tickets weren't so much. The mother (Norma Jean) cleverly bringing back a glimpse of Marilyn Monroe (the voice was obnoxious; I love Nicole Kidman, but do not like hearing Marilyn Monroe speak) was irritating and pointless.
Might have been better if they focused more on the baby penguins; they were cute.
