The Move of the Penguin

About This Movie

So, 'The Move of the Penguin' is quite the quirky little film from 2014. It follows this oddball trio—a pair of temp workers, a pensioner who's seen it all, and a washed-up bully—who stumble into the world of curling. The vibe is light, almost whimsical, with a pacing that meanders just enough to capture their misadventures. What’s interesting is how it mixes humor with the ridiculousness of their Olympic aspirations. The performances are a touch exaggerated, but it works, giving it a unique charm. The practical effects during the curling scenes, while simple, add a certain authenticity. It’s not your usual sports comedy, that’s for sure, which makes it stand out in the genre.
