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

- Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2007First let me say that I am a huge fan of the Academy Award winning documentary, March of the Penguins. Therefore, I wasn't sure what to expect from this satire on such a moving and well-made film. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, it pokes fun in some places at the plight, albeit a chosen plight, at some of the real-life penguins, but all-in-all, this animated feature is just plain fun and funny. Anyone who has seen March of the Penguins was made aware of the cleverness, endurance and caring nature of these beautiful creatures, and Farce of the Penguins shows the same clever, enduring and caring nature, yet in a lighthearted and, at many times, hysterical way.
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.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2021I looked for a long time elsewhere for this film. It is NOT for smaller children. It is a docu-fun-ary . It is loaded with comedy genuis . Directed by Bob Saget , the list of voices in this movie is too long to mention here .
- Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2013A good old politically incorrect type movie [The naughty version of 'March of the Penguins'.] Samuel Jackson brilliant as the narrator and what a cast of comedic characters. Bob Sagat as usual was fantastic - he can make you laugh even when he's not trying to and as for Mo'nique - wow! She is stupendous.Tracy Morgan's voice sounded like a drunken penguin [probably was] and was hillarious. A British actor, Nick Simunek voiced the part of a dirty old English penguin and he was so good that I felt he probably was one in real life! Jim Belushi excelled as usual and John Stamos & Carlos Mencia were tremendous. Amazed me to hear Abe Vigoda's penguin voice - what memories that bought back. Out of a cast of about of about 40 well known comedians Bob Sagat, Nick Simunek, Jim Belushi Mo'Nique, Damon Wayans Dane Cook were by far the best and all the others were good. It could have been about 10 minutes shorter but if you want a good belly laugh go see it.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2007The movie had it's funny parts, but for the most part, the humor was dry and toilet-humor-based. The repetition of some mediocre jokes was annoying. All I have to say is, "I"M FREEZING MY BALLS OFF!"
I say rent it instead...if you feel you HAVE to see it.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2007I very tentatively purchased this DVD due solely on my depression over March of the Penguins. I don't know why God hates those cute little creatures but clearly he does. I hesitated purchasing the DVD because my only previous exposure to Bob Saget was through Full House and Funniest Videos. In both I found him to be painfully unfunny!! This DVD exposes a side of him I was unaware of. The film was very creative, witty and while excessive in profanity, still very funny. Really enjoyed it!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2023This movie is hilarious definitely worth the money
- Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2023This movie is funny as can be. I definitely recommend it
- Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2007What a shame that the possibilities of this film never materialized. Maybe I shouldn't have watched "March of the Penguins" first. Obviously, that film was very enlightning, though not overly entertaining. So I sat down to watch "Farce of the Penguins" and was bored with it. All I could think about was "What Could Have Been", if they had taken a little longer to think things out; or taken a few more shots at the movie itself - something - anything to make it funny. But no, there was no laughter in our house that night - only disappointment over "What Could Have Been".

CrysReviewed in Canada on March 6, 20235.0 out of 5 stars Very crude humor but funny!
I had seen March of the Penguins, and a trailer for Farce of the Penguins. So I decided to check it out.
SolitaireReviewed in the United Kingdom on October 1, 20145.0 out of 5 stars Great film!
Hilarious!
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.
oliver lopezReviewed in Canada on April 6, 20165.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars
Just as funny as I remembered it.
À. SkeathReviewed in the United Kingdom on July 16, 20135.0 out of 5 stars Funniest Penguins
The first time I saw this I only saw the last 30 minutes but I knew I had to watch it from the start. It was very funny & my friends and I had a good laugh. It certainly makes you look at penguins in a different light. LOL
Kate LeeReviewed in the United Kingdom on February 4, 20174.0 out of 5 stars Four Stars
So funny and rude but Samuel L Jackson as a narrator is genius.
