Mr. Popper's Penguins tells the story of Mr. Popper (Carrey), a driven businessman who is clueless when it comes to the important things in life, until he inherits six "adorable" and mischievous penguins. As Mr. Popper quickly gets acquainted with—and increasingly attached to—his winged roommates, his life quickly unravels: the deal he's long been working on with a formidable socialite, Mrs. Van Gunny (Lansbury), is derailed and Popper almost lands in jail. While Popper's penguins turn his swank New York apartment into a snowy winter wonderland—they teach him valuable lessons about family—human and otherwise. Based upon the novel by Richard Atwater and Florence Atwater. (Gary Reber)
