The Penguin Lessons Ratings & Reviews
- cultfilmlikerDecember 12, 2025Just imagining Conner O’Malley watching the bathtub scene: “Ah hell yeah pimp da Spanish ladyz gunna fuk da pinguin!!” Obviously ideal casting for the main character. It’s like The Trip if Rob Brydon was a penguin A historical, heartfelt way to reimagine an everlasting message (and unfortunately wildly relevant in the US today). Some solemn realism! Easy watching, light laughing! The score kept reminding me of, “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” Unsure if intentional or not!
