Zookeeper

This film is about a dedicated zoo keeper who has to give up his job to get the girl of his dreams.

"Zookeeper" may be funny on paper, as it stars an established comedian, has lots of talking animals and has lots of romantic elements. However, the end result is not funny. It's actually annoying. Seeing Kevin James pretending to be various animals may be funny the first time, but is not funny the tenth time. His friendship with animals is well developed, in fact too well developed to the point of being ridiculous. Are we really supposed to believe that a gorilla can go into a restaurant without sparking panic and chaos?

"Zookeeper" does have some positive aspects. The scene where Kevin James and Rosario Dawson go to a wedding is very well done, the scenes involving silky drapes are wow-inducing. And Kevin James look truly blissful when he enjoys the sensation of flying. The romantic comedy elements are also well done. It is entertaining if you are looking for some brainless and silly laughs.
