Cute, if you like penguins

Rating: 5/10 (11 December 2006)

Happy Feet could have just been a cute little movie about singing, dancing penguins, but no, they just had to throw all these political and environmental messages at us. Like we don't get enough of those already. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about saving the penguins, but I sure don't want to spend money and a Saturday afternoon watching the movie in the theater. It did have its funny parts, though, mostly with the Latin penguins, and it's completely appropriate for little kids. And the baby penguins are really cute. So, if you love penguins and music, you'll probably like this movie. If you don't, I recommend avoiding it.
