Between Snakes On A Plane and Farce of the Penguins, one really wonders what Samuel Jackson has been smoking. This Jackson-narrated mockmentary of March of the Penguins, written and directed by Bob Saget (America's Funniest Home Videos), highlights the penguins' lascivious side, as the male's march inland to find mating partners. Overdubbed with human voices, Farce stars three penguins, Carl (Bob Saget), a neurotic, insecure bird whose search for true love has so far been in vain, Jimmy (Lewis Black), a mobster-like father figure who encourages Carl to keep up hope, and Marcus (Tracy Morgan), a smooth, African American penguin with a self-professed huge penis. Miles away, as the men journey inward, fighting off seals and engaging in therapy sessions with snowy owls along the way, Vicky (Mo'nique) tells Melissa (Christina Applegate) that someday her Prince Charming will come, which, predictably, he does. Watching penguins discussing the meaning of life, questioning their annual masochistic hike through tundra, or wondering if they have eating disorders is funny for about ten minutes. Samuel Jackson, the ultimate omniscient narrator, furthering the story between scenes is also odd and laughable. But Farce of The Penguins relies on its lewd humor for laughs, and though it is disarming to see waddling birds cuss, Farce's one-liner gets old. Yes, penguins have sex. Farce of the Penguins is a fun idea perhaps taken too far. Nonetheless, there is always something pleasing about anthropomorphizing animals, especially for lovers of crude sex jokes. --Trinie Dalton

- Penguins - The True Antarctica Story
Not some french-e-fried, for profit, disguised as a documentary Penguin exploit film. This is pure penguin lust as foretold in "Bloom County". Thanks to Lewis Black, Christina Applegate, and all the others for the best comedy in 2007.

Rating:

- 2.5--This is even funnier when your drunk.
Though it may look like a cute, animated penguin movie, Farce of the Penguins' isn't for kids. It's Bob Saget's classic, surprisingly crude humor--pretty much all of which revolves around sex (and, occasionally, fart jokes). Think of it as 'Animal Planet' meets 'American Pie' or you can see it as a foul mouthed send up of the 'March of the Penguins.'

The concept of 'Farce of the Penguins' is priceless. There isn't a single shot of original photography used. It's all stock photography, ... Read More

- Just plain vulgar and stupid
I just endured 30 minutes of this crud on HBO before I couldn't take any more. And yes, I've seen March of the Penguins a few times, so understand the context (what little there is). Thankfully, I didn't pay a dime for it. If you like a car wreck, or a tired old potty-mouth comic from a bowling alley way off the Las Vegas strip, you just might like this movie. Outside TV, Saget's comedy has always been vulgar, and this "film" (loosely put) shows it in all his "glory." It might have been an interesting ... Read More

- I think a little context is needed.
It might be best to see March of the Penguins first. Then you will enjoy Farce. Other wise it's just a movie with penguins talking dirty. It is a good satire on the original. Definately adult. It won't scar your little ankle biters but put them to bed. Then you can laugh a little less self consciously. The penguins talk, Carl, Jimmy & Marcus played by the voices of Bob Saget, Lewis Black & Tracy Morgan. Samuel Jackson does the Morgan Freeman part, the narration. A dozen other voices that you'll recognize. ... Read More

- not for all tastes(lots of very vulgar language)
i didn't like this movie at all.i think it's supposed to be a parody of
March of the Penguins.but for me,it just wasn't funny.plus,i felt the
humour consisted of mostly vulgar,crude language.there's a lot of the
F-bomb(among other words) dropped here.this definitely isn't for
kids.but i also just found it boring.i actually couldn't watch it
all,because i found it too slow.as for the crude language,that doesn't
always bother me,but i just found it gratuitous and too frequent.i
