Making a Farce out of a March

If you have seen the movie "March of The Penguins", which was released in the states in the summer of 2005, then you probably understand what difficult and sometimes painful lives penguins must endure in the Antarctic. What you missed, however, in "March of The Penguins" is the way that Hollywood will take anything successful and make a major spoof out of it. Enter the new movie, "Farce of The Penguins", which will probably make you laugh just as hard as "March of The Penguins" made you cry.

Samuel L Jackson will narrate a spoof of the hit documentary "March of The Penguins". The movie, which will be called "Farce of the Penguins", is about a lonely penguin searching for his true love while all his pals just want to get laid. "Pulp Fiction" star Samuel will deliver racy commentary over both authentic and fake penguin footage. Whoopi Goldberg, Alyson Hannigan and Jason Alexander are also on-board to voice characters for the comedy which will hit theatres this summer.

It will also feature Mo?Nique, Jason Biggs and Jamie Kennedy. The movie will be written and directed by Bob Saget, the former host of television show "Best of America`s Funniest Home Videos". Think film, who are producing the movie, say "Farce?"?s plot will follow "one penguin`s search for love while on a 70-mile trek with his libidinous buddies on their way to a hedonistic mating ritual". "March of the Penguins", which was narrated by Morgan Freeman, is the most successful French film at the North American box office.
