Zookeeper (2011)
4/10
Goof-ball romantic comedy.
4 February 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Griffin(Kevin James)is a keeper at a zoo like no other. He is so popular with the critters big and small, they feel his agony of not being noticed by a beautiful woman, Stephanie(Leslie Bibb). Griffin is smitten, but realizes the object of his desire is way out of his league. Trying to ease his desperate disposition, co-worker Kate(Rosario Dawson)volunteers to help Griffin get his girl. The animals that Griffin sees everyday break a code of silence...yep...they begin talking, giving him advice on how to get Stephanie's attention. Goofy and bit sappy. Then there is the physical comedy of James to laugh at. This may not be your "cup of tea", but a great soundtrack featuring Earth, Wind & Fire, Kansas, Toto, Barry White and Motley Crue keeps this romantic comedy progressing. Not really being a Kevin James fan, my favorite part of the movie is when the final credits roll to "More Than a Feeling" by Boston. There may be some voices you'll recognize coming from the zoo animals: Nick Nolte, Sly Stallone, Cher, Don Rickles and Adam Sandler. Others in the cast: Donnie Wahlberg, Joe Rogan, Stephlana De La Cruz and Robin Bakay.
