IMDb profile

Farce of the Penguins is a 2007 direct-to-DVD parody of the 2005 film March of the Penguins. The motion picture features Samuel L. Jackson as narrator, with the two main characters being voiced by Bob Saget, who also wrote and directed the movie, and Lewis Black. Additional voices provided by Tracy Morgan,Christina Applegate, James Belushi, Whoopi Goldberg, Penn Jillette and more. ThinkFilm describes Farce of the Penguins as the story of "one penguin's search for love while on a 70-mile (112-km) trek with his libidinous buddies on their way to a hedonistic mating ritual." Despite what the poster suggests, Farce of the Penguins is not an animated feature; it uses footage from March of the Penguins and other documentaries.

In late November, the film, sourced from a screening, was leaked on the internet. There has been no response from the production company as of yet.
