Pretty Good
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Our entire family, adults and teens, totally enjoyed this particular episode. Very creative and rejuvenating . Multiple laughs throughout - guilt free. The writing was crisp and 'out of the box' with laughs that target different age levels without pandering to any of them. In addition, the characterization of all four penguins and King Julien keeps enhancing their human quirkiness which just keeps getting more real each time. Then you capped it off with a wonderful life lesson about being your own individual. What great writing and characterization. It gave me the impression that the writers and actors probably had more fun putting it all together than we had enjoying the end results. What a fabulously innovative team of authors and actors. Well done!
