Mr. Pope (Jim Carrey) is a highly efficient businessman with great enthusiasm for work. He is highly valued in the company, but he often sacrifices time with his family. This winter, when he is doing his best to win a troublesome partner, his ex-wife Amanda (Carla Gugino) is also preparing to start her next relationship. However, all this has taken an unexpected turn with the arrival of a courier box-Mr. Pope inherited the most unusual property from his late father: a live penguin. Just when he was at a loss, he received another five live penguins. The penguins once messed up Mr. Pope's regular life and work, but his young son loved these penguins very much. However, in a metropolis like New York, raising penguins is fun, but it is definitely not an easy task... The movie is adapted from the children's novel of the same name co-written by Richard and Florence Atwater.
