How do you know a movie is bad?

• When the premise includes a tap dancing penguin; you know a movie is going to be bad.
• When you look at the credits and Robin Williams is credited with three voice-over parts (the narrator, the old penguin sage, and the young Latino penguin buddy); you know a movie is going to be bad. *
• When the opening scene has two love stricken penguins singing Jennifer Lopez’s, “My Love Don’t Cost a Thing;” you know a movie is going to be bad.
• When your five year old kid complains half way through it that the movie is too long, and asks if we can watch Happy Days reruns instead; you know a movie is going to be bad.
• When the older characters who all long for tradition have English, Jewish and German accents, while all the younger characters who want change all have Latino and urban accents; you know a movie is going to be bad.
• When Hugh Jackman voices a character named, “Memphis,” and barely manages an almost believable Elvis-like impersonation as his voice-over; you know a movie is going to be bad.

*it is getting to the point where everything Robin Williams touches turns to poop. Name his last good movie. Can’t? Me neither. His Narrator (black man) voice over was so bad, it bordered on being the equivalent of verbal black face.
