I happened to watch the film adaptation of "Mr. Popper's Penguins" yesterday and almost shed a tear. (Tip: If you're watching a movie with your PC or lappy, use a pair of headphones. You could appreciate the movie more).
You can find it from:-

Screen shot of Mr. Popper (Jim Carrey) trying so hard to make an egg hatch.You know, with family themed movies; it's always the format of - A busy/successful/absent/ dad/mom, neglected wife/hubby/partner & children, failed marriage but successful at business/work, then came the "Ah Ha" moment and is profoundly changed.
Ya, you know it but it is still moving. (or am i depressed?)
From a man numb of feelings of love or sensitivity, Mr. Popper unwittingly fell in love with the penguins and got so engaged that he hoped with all his might that the single, unhatched egg will hatch. (It didn't), and how he became a "colder" & nastier person but alas with every family themed movie, all ends well and he eventually gained back his family's faith in him, having profoundly changed of course. =)
