Movie Review

Penguins of Madagascar
The penguins are up against Dave the octopus who wants revenge and to rid the world of cute penguins.
Yes, I was drug to see this film. (By my wife who completely enjoyed it and has already announced she wants it on video – the first animated film she’s wanted this year.)
It’s a lightweight film with fast action and LOTS of silliness. Not the most memorable movie, but much better than Madagascar II – and certainly an entertaining hour and a half.
Lots of crazy puns, great animation, and a simple plot that moves quickly.
You could certainly do worse that watch the stupid penguins movie!
