Animal Planet aesthetics get infused with blush-inducing blue-humor sensibilities as director Bob Saget teams with an all-star cast of comics including Lewis Black, Tracy Morgan, Jason Alexander, Dane Cook, and Whoopi Goldberg to prove that sometimes penguins aren't as sweet as they appear to be… More Animal Planet aesthetics get infused with blush-inducing blue-humor sensibilities as director Bob Saget teams with an all-star cast of comics including Lewis Black, Tracy Morgan, Jason Alexander, Dane Cook, and Whoopi Goldberg to prove that sometimes penguins aren't as sweet as they appear to be on the silver screen. Film star Samuel L. Jackson narrates as actual footage of penguins going about their business in nature is backed by the kind of twisted voice-over work that could only come from the biggest names in comedy. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Critic Reviews
-
Joe Leydon, Variety
A gimmick that might have sustained a screamingly funny 10-minute segment on a pay-cable variety show is remorselessly stretched to feature length.
-
Urban Cinefile Critics, Urban Cinefile
The idea would have worked better as a 7 minute sketch comedy on YouTube
-
Nick De Semlyen, Empire Magazine
A one-liner stretched to feature length which is a little low on genuine wit to carry it off.
-
Willie Waffle, WaffleMovies.com
The amount of filth in this movie may set your eyes and ears on fire.

David Cornelius, eFilmCritic.com
It's the sort of thing a middle schooler would've thought up in between making fart noises with his armpit.
