Farce of the Penguins

The Farce of the Penguins is a parody of the 2005 film March of the Penguins. Which I have not seen because I don't like animal films because one or more of the animals ends up dead. Bob Saget, lent his voice, wrote and directed the movie.

Samuel L. Jackson is the narrator about a group of male penguins that travel 70 miles back to the female penguins to mate. The two main penguins Jimmy (Lewis Black) & Carl (Bob Saget) just complain about how insecure they are about finding a mate this year. They run into Marcus (Tracy Morgan) who is the crack-head penguin. They also meet up with Steve the Owl (Jonathan Katz) who gives the penguins philosophical advise and I think maybe smoking crack. Are there even owls in Antarctica?

Meanwhile the ladies are gathering together and friends Melissa (Christina Applegate) & Vicky (Mo'Nique) pretty much girl-talk the entire movie. They hate Ester (Drea de Matteo) because she is a slut. Eventually the male penguins make it to the females and the miracle of life begins.

I was sort of disappointed in the movie. I guess I thought it would be funnier. There are a lot of famous voices so it was fun trying to figure them out. This would have been a lot funnier as a 10 minute sketch than an 88 minute movie. I give this movie 2 out of 10.
