Review of Zookeeper (2011) by Kichu J — 28 Nov 2011
Zookeeper is another Adam Sandler and Kevin James comedy vehicle which is ANOTHER sorry excuse for a comedy film. Apparently there is something drastically wrong with being a zookeeper (which is the occupation of Kevin James' character named Griffin Keyes) as Griffin Keyes' girlfriend dumps him for that very reason. Griffin Keyes attempts to win her back, with the help of the animals who, surprise, surprise, can talk. If you find the comedy genius of Kevin James falling over, running into metal poles and being thrown over fences then this is the film for you, otherwise its best to stay well away as Zookeeper's five writers never craft anything funnier or wittier than slapstick. Add the annoying voices of annoying animals and the predictable plot, with an ending as obvious as the victor of a football match between Spain and America Samoa, to the low level of wit then we have a poor comedy. The performances are drab, Leslie Bibb sucks the life out of every scene and Kevin James just adds to the claim that he is no longer funny. Featuring one of worst zoos in the world that would be shut down by health and safety before one could say 'escaped lion'. Not only is it not funny, it is just plain dull.
1/5.
