Propelled by the deliciously dry wit of Acadent Award-nominee Steve Coogan, this fee-good comedy follows an Englishman’s personal and political awakening during a period of crisis in Argentina. Inspired by true events, the film takes to heart the notion that saving someone’s life begins a new responsibility. In this case, that someone is a surprisingly wise, utterly adorable penguin. Helmed by Peter Cattaneo (The Full Monty), The Penguin Lessons delivers this delightful true story with warmth and subtle insight into just how rewarding it can be to do the right thing.
