The Penguin Lessons

4pm

Jubilee Hall

Directed by Peter Cattaneo, starring Steve Coogan, Jonathan Pryce. 1 hour 50 minutes, cert PG 12A.

Tom Mitchell is a disillusioned Englishman who goes out to teach in an Argentinian school, shortly before a military coup rocks the country to its foundations. Trying to ignore this and hoping only to impress a local woman, he finds himself trying to clean up a small, adorable penguin who’s been caught up in an oil slick. And then the penguin won’t leave him… Coogan and the penguin are both hilarious in this hopeful, unexpected comedy about second chances from the director of The Full Monty.
