Product Description
It's mating season...
Meet Carl (Bob Saget) and Jimmy (Lewis Black), two cold penguins on a desperate mission to get themselves some hot booty. After years of empty one-night stands, Carl wants more than a piece of penguin tail. He wants the love of the beautiful Melissa (Christina Applegate). Now it's up to Jimmy to help his neurotic friend win her heart and find his dream girl. The only thing that stands in their way is...a seventy-mile trek across Antarctica. It's a road trip like no other, as these two best bros make their way to a penguin island paradise. From director and comedian Bob Saget, comes a raunchy, yet heart-warming comedy like no other.
Get ready for a stiff and dirty ride! May the FARCE be with you...

Between Snakes On A Plane and Farce of the Penguins, one really wonders what Samuel Jackson has been smoking. This Jackson-narrated mockmentary of March of the Penguins, written and directed by Bob Saget (America's Funniest Home Videos), highlights the penguins' lascivious side, as the male's march inland to find mating partners. Overdubbed with human voices, Farce stars three penguins, Carl (Bob Saget), a neurotic, insecure bird whose search for true love has so far been in vain, Jimmy (Lewis Black), a mobster-like father figure who encourages Carl to keep up hope, and Marcus (Tracy Morgan), a smooth, African American penguin with a self-professed huge penis. Miles away, as the men journey inward, fighting off seals and engaging in therapy sessions with snowy owls along the way, Vicky (Mo'nique) tells Melissa (Christina Applegate) that someday her Prince Charming will come, which, predictably, he does. Watching penguins discussing the meaning of life, questioning their annual masochistic hike through tundra, or wondering if they have eating disorders is funny for about ten minutes. Samuel Jackson, the ultimate omniscient narrator, furthering the story between scenes is also odd and laughable. But Farce of The Penguins relies on its lewd humor for laughs, and though it is disarming to see waddling birds cuss, Farce's one-liner gets old. Yes, penguins have sex. Farce of the Penguins is a fun idea perhaps taken too far. Nonetheless, there is always something pleasing about anthropomorphizing animals, especially for lovers of crude sex jokes. --Trinie Dalton

I will say one thing. This movie is definitely not for children. It really is an adult-oriented animated film due to some of the language and sexual content. Remember, this is an animated film with animated penguins, so I wouldn't go so far as to say it was raunchy or filthy, but it had some very suggestive scenes. I will say that if you are looking for a movie that will make you laugh your butt off after the kids are in bed, this is the film for you. Luckily, I don't have kids so I was able to watch it on a Saturday afternoon. I highly recommend it.
And a little piece of trivia...Bob Sagat got the inspiration for writing this film while 'dubbing over' march of the penguins while watching it for the first time.
I thought you could only purchase this video. I would have been happier if I had just rented it from Blockbuster (I was really bummed when I saw it on their shelves). I don't recommend adding this to your library, but you may eek out some entertainment if rented. NOTE: Not for children!

You need to have a real sense of humour (Obviously some of the reviewers here do not have one!) This was made in answer to Morgan Freeman's March of the Penguins. It is a wonderful send up and has had my family in stitches for years (Yes! we still watch it now and then) Most of the humour is directed at adults. Having said that, there are moments that would also appeal to younger viewers.
It does touch on the serious side of Global Warming and the hardships that the Penguins endure, but if this is what it takes for people to sit up and take notice of the truth of climate change and the repercussions it has on animal life then so be it.
I thoroughly recommend this film and it is worth the 5 stars.
