Forgettable. But...

Rating: 5/10 (28 July 2005)

It's kinda nice to see things the other way around - we are nice to animals in the zoo, while they can be eaten in the jungle.
Simplistic? Yeah, quite. But it's also quite refreshing. I can imagine PETA going crazy over some of this movie dialog, which gets it an extra point or two.
Other than that... blah. Ben Stiller is kinda boring here. Same thing with Chris Rock. I'm surprised about it - I'd have thought they'd have the same level of energy Spade had in "The Emperor's New Groove". The story is as flat as a coke left open in the desert for 6 weeks - I can't even begin to understand who would have thought a pilot episode for a Saturday morning cartoon could make it into a full length movie.
But... but... you have to love those penguins. I know I did. Penguins are my new heroes.
