He has been a King of primetime television, a Grown Up with pal Adam Sandler, and the most lucrative Mall Cop in Hollywood history. Now Kevin James is ready to talk to the animals -- and romance the lovely Rosario Dawson -- in the new comedy The Zookeeper, which opens everywhere July 8. FilmCritic.com recently sat down with James in New York City, where we discussed Nick Nolte's Method acting, family entertainment that's good for the parents, and the reason he isn't keen on doing sequels. Q: It has been a challenging summer for parents hoping to bring their kids to the movies and yet still be entertained themselves. A: That's the trick of it. Usually my kids love everything, but when I have to sit there with my kids and the movie's just brutal, you end up thinking, "Please, just give me something for me!" That has been the challenge. »
