Why My Penguin Friend is the Must-See Heartwarming Movie of the Year

Dive into the Heartwarming Journey of “My Penguin Friend” – In Theaters August 16th!

I recently had the wonderful pleasure of chatting with the legendary Jean Reno and the incredibly passionate director David Schurmann about their latest film, My Penguin Friend. Trust me, this is one of those movies that will stay with you long after the credits roll.

Jean Reno, a master at bringing complex characters to life, spoke with such warmth about this project. He didn’t just act in this film, he connected with it on a deeply personal level.

The story, which revolves around the extraordinary bond between a fisherman and a penguin, resonated with him in a way that few stories do. Watching him talk about the experience, it was clear that My Penguin Friend is more than just another role for him—it’s a story about the unexpected and life-changing friendships that come our way.

David Schurmann, whose love for the ocean runs deep (quite literally—he grew up sailing the seas), brought his entire world of experience to this film. His vision was to create something that felt not just real, but magical—a film that captures the beauty of the natural world and the powerful connections that can form between man and animal. He’s crafted a story that’s not only visually stunning but also emotionally profound.

The film follows the true story of João, a fisherman who rescues a penguin named DinDim from an oil spill. But the real magic happens when DinDim, against all odds, returns to visit João year after year, traveling thousands of miles just to be with his human friend. Set against the breathtaking backdrops of Brazil’s tropical coasts and Patagonia’s penguin colonies, this film is a visual feast that also tugs at the heartstrings.

I can’t wait for you to experience My Penguin Friend when it hits theaters on August 16th. It’s a film that’s perfect for the whole family—a celebration of love, friendship, and the mysterious bonds that connect us all. Whether you’re an animal lover, a nature enthusiast, or someone who just loves a good story, this movie is for you.

This movie hit some strings and my children and I truly enjoyed it.

So, mark your calendars, gather your loved ones, and get ready to be moved by one of the most heartwarming stories of the year. And don’t forget to check out the trailer—this is one journey you won’t want to miss!

Hidden Travel Gem- Marival Distinct Luxury Resort in Riviera Nayarit

Last month I embarked on an adventure to the Riviera Nayarit, Mexico to explore Marival Distinct Luxury Resort in Nuevo Vallarta. I also toured their new sister property Marival Armony in Punta De Mita.

This mini paradise is an easy three hour flight out of Los Angeles, California. This all-inclusive luxury resort is located on the beach of Nuevo Vallarta, in the Riviera Nayarit. It is just a 15 minute car ride from the Puerto Vallarta International Airport.

I have visited Nuevo Vallarta a few times before, but every time I go I discover something new. There is just so much to see and do!

Disclosure: Thank you ConnectHer Media for curating this amazing trip, and Marival Distinct for hosting me at your incredible resort. All opinions are my own.

There is a very special place in my heart for Mexico. My parents immigrated to the United States over 5o years ago from Zacatecas Mexico. I feel a deep connection with this beautiful country, and the people. It saddens me that my parents had to leave.

The gracious staff immediately greeted me with a wet towel and a delicious craft drink. The lobby was both sophisticated and comfortable.

This chic and unique resort is secluded and is in its own little paradise.

Video tour of the 2 bedroom residence at Marival Distinct in Riviera Nayarit. Full of luxury and comfort, the 1 to 4 bedrooms residences range from 1,410 sq. ft. to 2,798 sq. ft.

Check out my suite in this video!

The incredible staff ensured that I felt welcomed and right at home. They greeted me with this little spread when I checked into my room. SWEET!

I felt so relaxed and maybe even a little mom guilt for leaving the kids behind. But I have realized that sometimes I need a little me time to disconnect and recharge…

The room was spacious and very elegant. It was the perfect home away from home.

The two bedroom residence is ideal for a family. The suite is modern and elegant. It had two bathrooms, fully-equipped kitchen, dining room, entertainment room, large balcony and terrace.

Marival Distinct Luxury Residences has many type of accommodations including luxurious residences, penthouses and villas.

Gourmet Food in a Luxury Resort

The dinning options at Marival Distinct are five star restaurants and are part of the all inclusive program. You can enjoy another 6 restaurants and 7 bars at Marival Emotions Resort & Suites, another resort. It is only two minutes away!

At Lemmon Grass (photo above), Chef Alfredo prepares something different every night for his guests, and he only uses fresh local ingredients. This is the perfect place if you have and adventurous palate…

The sunset from Insú Sky Rooftop Bar was just spectacular. It offers a minimalist global gourmet cuisine, craft drinks, and an unbelievable infinity pool. Ahhh take me back!

Marival Armony Resorts and Suites

On day three, we headed to Marival Armony Luxury Resort in Punta De Mita. This sister resort is a harmonious blend between the amenities and the kindness of nature…

It has comfortable rooms and suites, 281 meters (922 feet long) beachfront, five pools (one of them is an infinity pool), and five Jacuzzis, specialty restaurants, beautiful gardens, privileged views of the mountains and the bay, unique spa experiences, and of course, the personalized service is exceptional.

This gorgeous new resort is now taking reservations.

I loved exploring this property and I found many breathless views. I often stopped on my path to just take it all in.

GenZ Influencers

At Marival Armony’s Teens Club, teenagers will find a pool table, Ping-Pong table and video games. Age 13 years of age and up have fun spot and interact with other teens. The facilities are open daily from 10:00 am to 10:30 pm.

I kept thinking about my kids, and how much I knew they would enjoy this resort.

It was so nice to sip on a Piña Colada, and look at the ocean from this private cabana…

These incredible resorts are one of a kind. Both resorts surpassed my overall expectations and I will definitely return to this magical place with my family.

Where’s your next travel destination? Marival Luxury Resorts are a MUST on your bucket-list!

Guinness and Black Bean Chile

Today I experimented a bit and made Guinness and Black Bean Chile for the first time. I have to say it was delish and it was easy to make. The girls enjoyed it. (or they are just being really nice)

Serves 8-12

  • 2 ½ pounds boneless NY sirloin steak (or top sirloin steak), cubed
  • 1 Package of  uncooked Black Beans
  • Olive Oil 3 Tablespoons
  • Lawry’s Seasoning Salt (for meat seasoning)
  •  Your choice of meat, cubed  2 ½ pounds ( I used boneless NY sirloin steak)
  • 2 (10-oz) cans chili-style diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained (Rotel brand)
  • 1 ½ cups chopped onion (from about 1 ½ medium onions)
  • 2 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (15 oz) can Guinness Irish stout
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • shredded cheddar or cheese of choice for topping (optional)
  • sour cream for topping (optional)
  • chopped green onion for topping (optional)

First I followed the directions on the black bean package and boiled the beans. Cook in a large soup pot. Add salt to the beans. (It took over an hour).

Separately on my stove top, I added the olive oil on a skillet pan and the minced garlic. I cooked the diced meat and seasoned it with Lawry’s Seasoning Salt. (season as desired) I used approximately 1.5 Teaspoons. I cooked until fully ready.

Chop up the onion, red peppers, chopped green onion.

After the black beans were fully cooked (in the large soup pot), I added the can of Guinness Bear. I then added the veggies: Red Peppers, Onion, can of sliced chiles, and the 2 cans chili-style diced tomatoes with green chilies.

Last, I added the chile powder, cumin, and cornstarch to thicken the chile.

The girls and I served in a bowl and garnished the chile with cheddar cheese, sour cream, and sliced green onion. (shown above & optional)
