Watch Farce of the Penguins For Free

Too much of everything

Just perfect...

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

How sad is this?

I love Bob Saget, and many of the other comedians that starred in this thing. But I can't for the life of me understand why any of them agreed to do it. I've seen Saget's standup, and I think he's very talented. But it does NOT translate well to a movie. When the dialogue wasn't raunchy, it was incredibly trite, which offended me even more than the lewd humor. For starters, Samuel L. Jackson belongs in something either a) intelligent or b) badass. This film was neither. And furthermore, I've actually lost some respect for Lewis Black due to his involvement in "Farce." What a stupid title, too. Way too obvious.And why would you make fun of "March of the Penguins?" It's completely uncontroversial and didn't make a big enough splash in pop culture to be a worthy target of parody, so I guess they figured they had no choice but to make the penguins use the F-word. Of course, the crappy paste-up job with the footage didn't help this film, either. I'm not easily offended by off-color humor, but I am offended by respectable comedians reading VERY un-funny dialogue. What a shame.

Not even the grand cast of star power could save this.Samuel L. Jackson's narration doesn't even save it, and he had quite a lot of lines.You can certainly tell that this movie is written by Bob Saget. His jokes were never that funny and he certainly shows that he tries to hard.The majority of the jokes come from penis references and fart jokes. They aren't clever and they aren't original. I can't see why anyone would find this movie funny or enjoyable.The editing was crazily poor. The musical numbers were performed terribly, and at times they tried to hard to be something special.Christina Applegate plays Melissa and she is looking for a nice guy. Carl (played by Saget) is looking for a girl who gets him - which just so happens to be Melissa.When they do finally meet after a long 55 minutes or so, they fall in love in a matter of 5 minutes. Then they have the clichéd storyline of best friends hating each other over a girl.I can't believe that Dane Cook, Norm Macdonald, Jason Alexander, Samuel L. Jackson, Christina Applegate, Woopi Goldberg, and Lewis Black even agreed to do this film.Do I even have to call it a film? It's far from being something entertaining.Anyone out there who thought "looks alright" take this review under consideration and change your minds. If you watch this movie, you will definitely want your 75 minutes back trust me.A movie about Penguins you might want to see is March of the Penguins, narrated by Morgan Freeman.Don't waste time or money on Farce of the Penguins. If you do watch this movie you'll only like the line by Dane Cook's character.

There is this notion out there that Bob Saget is actually a funny guy when not playing a TV dad or hawking home video footage. It's not true. Yeah, okay, it's a bit of a kick to imagine the dad from Full House doing blue humor, but beyond that, he has no comic instinct. The gags in this sad apology for a film are adolescent in the worst way. I can only assume that all the names involved in this disaster owe Saget something, or he has some dirt on them, because they can't possibly be serious about this one. It's a one-gag movie and a poor send-up of a film that was overly precious in the first place. The most farcical thing about this film is the fact that it was ever made in the first place.

"If you're some bleeding heart liberal tree hugger or just a wimp this movie will be far too offensive for you." That's what one commenter wrote. I always thought it was the conservative element that were so opposed to bad language and sexual humor and that the liberal element in this country were the subversive types. I don't like getting into politics on the comment board, but from now on, it would nice not to pigeonhole a whole group of people based on your own ignorance. That's all I'm going to say...As far as the movie itself. I thought they did a good job with the commentary. After watching "The Aristocrats" it was good to see Bob Saget involved in something again with a lot of blue humor. This is the same Bob Saget you've seen on reruns of his popular family shows, but as anyone can attest who's seen him elsewhere, his common PAX-watching fans will find this film highly offensive."Farce of the Penguins" is a great parody of, you guessed it "March of the Penguins" but, you won't get a warm feeling from this movie unless you pee your pants laughing. I can't add anymore to other comments as to the storyline, but this movie was made on the cheap, but it is extremely funny, foul (or fowl) and is very 'tongue-in-cheek'. Watch it without the kids around, because this is not an episode of "America's Funniest Home Video's".
