A Heartwarming Family Film with Penguins

We watched the film „Mr. Popper's Penguins" (2011) at Multikino in Riga Plaza on the very second day after its Riga premiere - thanks, of course, to the main characters: six gentoo penguins. Mr. Popper unknowingly repeats his parents' pattern, separating from his wife and two children whom he now only sees once a week. But this penguin episode brings the family back together and makes them understand and re-examine their value hierarchy, in which both a successful career and family are measured, as well as each person's selfishness and ability to step back from it.
