- [New] | Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice
- Excerpt: True story about how a disillusioned teacher has his life turned around by a rescued penguin.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Fueled with the misanthropic deadpan mien of Steve Coogan, an adorable Magellan penguin and Jeff Pope’s more politicized adaptation of Tom Michell’s book, director Peter Cattaneo (“The Full Monty”) weaves a tale of middle-aged reawakening…a low key charmer
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: A peculiar mix of political drama and quirky comedy, but it finds a heartwarming balance in the unlikely duo of Steve Coogan and the penguin he rescues.
- Nell Minow @ moviemom.com
- Excerpt: There is so much warmth and humor in this story that we cannot help feeling touched by the story and maybe even thinking about a penguin of our own.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: It’s an inspiring story on all fronts. [But] considering what’s happening in our world—specifically America with its own broad and illegal renditions—it proves performatively quaint. That’s the mission, though. Say something, but not too much.
