Did we really have to bring up Argentina though?
What it's about
The take
Sometimes, there are events so absurd that it must be put into cinematic form. This is because these unusual experiences can be necessary warnings or hopeful reminders about what life can offer. The Penguin Lessons seemed to be the latter, at first. It’s a cute story about a depressed teacher who saves and then continues to be followed by a Magellanic penguin, which becomes an instant conversation starter that opens him up to new people. It’s fun to see the penguin, but also, we’re not sure the protagonist learned anything about responsibility, considering the ending doesn’t come about because of his direct actions. In fact, there’s a certain lack of initiative that led them there. At least Tom starts to admit that to himself, but The Penguin Lessons could have had more to teach before ending so abruptly.
