Movie Review

Talk about surprises. When I first saw the previews for Surf's Up, I rolled my eyes. Penguins have had the "It" factor ever since March of the Penguins, and with Surf's Up (not to mention Farce of the Penguins, which is an entirely different can of worms) it sure appeared that the the waddling birds had run their course. Hell, the first preview for the movie even made fun of the fact that everyone was capitalizing on the penguin market, a pretty bold marketing approach. But no, the penguin movies keep on coming.

I watched this movie and it pained me to see how much of a waste.The beginning is a waste, the whole Camera people is a complete annoyance. This whole thing is a little over PG.. and you just expect something please next time, make it a little more creative?

dont penquins make nice targets?

think I should go to anarticia sometime and shoot one in the head and then pick off the rest of the stupid birds as they run for cover.

I hate penquins.they are stupid and well,stupid.

club penquins to death not baby harp seals.

This movie ain't a 'Happy Feet' imitator 'cause it's based on a book. Movie or no movie, it came before Happy Feet. It's gonna be critisized for the wrong reason.
