kols One of those hate it or love it things, I guess. Never saw March but have seen a lot of nature shows that cover the same territory. So wasn't even prejudiced by the movie it was supposed to parody. Probably a good thing - without any preconceptions, like who the hell is this Sargent guy and did anyone ever really watch Full House, I just watched the movie on the screen and enjoyed it for the stupid piece of fluff it was. No huge laughs, no brilliant references to March that I know of, just a really dumb entertainment. The only memorable line (or the only line I remember): "we didn't do it the usual way" in the context of one mates going nuts over the other mates infidelity and the paternity of The Egg. If you don't expect Shakespeare, you might enjoy it.

schmidtmike555-1 When I first started this movie I had high hopes. The first five minutes seemed quite funny with Samuel L. Jackson's narration and the promising all-star cast. I assumed the reason few people liked this was because it had a sort of "stupid" sense of humor as seen in movies like Kung Pow that few people appreciated. Unfortunately, even with so many big names in this movie, it was difficult to find any humor at all in this.The majority of the movie revolved around Bob Saget and Lewis Black's characters chatting back and forth about walking far and finding a mate. What made the movie bad wasn't its juvenile sense of humor, but rather the lack of overall jokes. What was shown was simply Bob Saget reenacting his job as host of America's Funniest Home Videos when he used to provide voiceovers to the five second clips in order to make them only slightly more amusing. But considering there isn't much amusing about penguins in the first place, Saget couldn't do much to make it funnier than the thoughts everyone with any sense of humor whatsoever was thinking while watching March of the Penguins.I'll admit that the horrid editing didn't make me dislike the movie as much as the humor, but it is definitely worth mentioning that it had to have been done by someone with no real experience in the editing field. For example, when one penguin farts in the movie, a large transparent red circle appears near it. I don't know what the editor was trying to do to make the fart more visible by using a red circle. Had they added in something like a green colored gas effect, it would have been more appealing. Another example is how some of the clips blatantly reverse themselves to stay on screen while the actors talk. Very little effort was put into this movie, though considering how little the makers had to do (Nearly all the footage was cheap stock footage), they must have made a fortune by spending so little money on this.The reason I didn't give this a score of 1 was because I'll admit that I did laugh a few times, and I appreciate that the movie recognized itself as a bad movie, like when penguins from the March of the Penguins scoff at how dumb the humor is, when the writers are depicted as a monkey banging on a typewriter, and when Samuel L. Jackson apologizes for not having the budget to make the penguins' mouths move. Still, I would not recommend this movie to anyone, regardless of their sense of humor.

bluecat061 If you're watching this movie without high expectations, or if you've ever seen Bob Saget's stand-up, you'll enjoy this movie.Samuel L. Jackson sets the tone right away, as well as the credits. After the first five minutes of this movie, you should expect about the same for the rest.Although this movie wasn't green-lit for theatres, it suffered from the same mentality of Idiocracy -- a movie for adults that would not have had a large audience. How does the public see Bob Saget these days? He was quiet for some years after Full House, where he played the "aw shucks" father, and being the host of America's Funniest Home Videos, but then there were rumours of his stand-up being raunchy. That's what drew me to see one of his shows, and it won me over. He was probably funnier because he wasn't what I expected -- but like other comics he was just on par.That's what you could say about the movie. It was funnier than you expected, but if you match it up with other movies of it's like, it may not match up.But if anything, it is MUCH funnier than most other "farce" movies.Which may not be saying much.

davideo-2 STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning A made for video spoof of March of the Penguins, with Samuel L Jackson taking over narrating duties with a much sharper tone, a much sassier attitude and a much fouler mouth!Some recent spoofs that have hit the cinemas, including Epic Movie and Date Movie, have been rather below par, so I thought there might be some hope with this video spoof of 2005's renowned documentary March of the Penguins. It looked inspired enough, right down to Jackson doing the voice-over, his harsh, commanding voice in contrast to Morgan Freeman's soft, gentle delivery in the proper film. But, really, that's all that is funny, the concept of the film. Or rather, how ridiculous the idea of talking penguins is. Not just talking penguins, farting penguins, penguins that get into arguments with the narrator, penguins that swear and talk like they're from Da Getto, and penguins that, well, make idiots of themselves. The material is sadly just not funny enough to rise it above the absurdity of the story, but there are, to be fair, worser spoofs out there at the moment and considering how cheaply it's all been put together (one penguin even jokes about hating appearing in this "stock footage filled piece of crap!") that's actually quite an achievement. **
