Zookeeper also stars Rosario Dawson (Seven Pounds) and Leslie Bibb (Iron Man 2).
SYNOPSIS: In Zookeeper, the animals at the Franklin Park Zoo love their kindhearted caretaker, Griffin Keyes (Kevin James). Finding himself more comfortable with a lion than a lady, Griffin decides the only way to get a girl in his life is to leave the zoo and find a more glamorous job. The animals, in a panic, decide to break their time-honored code of silence and reveal their biggest secret: they can talk! To keep Griffin from leaving, they decide to teach him the rules of courtship – animal style.
FILM REVIEW:
Apparently
Zookeeper looks just like Paul Blart: Mall Cop, however it is
not is actually better. Well! Not actually a classic, just
better.
Like it was expected the
screenplay in this film is as silly and absurd as it can be, but
sometimes well performed and presented silly situations can make
a film fun and entertaining. That is the case with Zookeeper.
Another Happy Madison production film that doesn't serve any
intellectual enrichment to the brain, other than provided some
quality laughs, making the film enjoyable and not a complete
waist of time. All thanks to Kevin James, who in this film shows
ones again his ability to lead a role in the big screen.
