Mr. Popper's Penguins 8/10
Highly predictible. but still a nice, entertaining family movie. I liked it.
I don't know the book. An older lady who recognized me afterwards (what wasn't hard, there were only 4 persons (including me) in the cinema to see this film - well it was friday in the early afternoon, not a big surprise) told me that she was really disappointed because the film was totally different and too modern.
