Zookeeper

Zookeeper

Rating 5 out of 10

Kevin James is a funny guy.  Of that there is no doubt.  I have seen his standup and he kills.  He was funny in the tv show.  With his movies though he tends to aim at the grade school humor.  This follows that line.  The movie is harmless and mildly entertaining and from young teenagers on down will find it hilarious!  If you liked Paul Blart: Mall Cop you will love this movie.

James plays zookeeper Griffin Keyes in NYC who is jilted by his long time girlfriend five years before.  She was clearly out of his league.  Now she has resurfaced and he still has feelings for her.  He talks of leaving the zoo for a high paying job that would impress her.  He is loved by all the animals who decide to now show him they can talk to help him out.  Also helping is lovely Kate (Rosario Dawson) from the Zoo.  She also has a thing for Griffin.  You can guess the rest.

The animation on the talking animals was first rate.  Some good voices.  Sylvester Stalone, Nick Nolte, Adam Sandler and Cher.

This is a cute enough movie that has some pretty good laughs.  Rocky rated it an 8.5 and thought it was one of the funniest movies he has seen in a while.  He loved Paul Blart too.
