Zookeeper


Who's In It?: Kevin James, Rosario Dawson, Leslie Bibb, Donnie Wahlberg & Joe Rogan.

Who Talks In It?: Adam Sandler, Bas Rutten, Cher, Judd Apatow, Nick Nolte and Sylvester Stallone.

What's it about?: A jilted zookeeper trugs along through life after a bad break-up. With the help of a very communicative ensemble of animals, he musters the courage to win back his ex. Or is he wrong about it all and has actually already found happiness without her?

Loved it. 10/10.

The animals were great, as was the CGI and lively voice acting and I found the humor level astounding!

Surely it is no epic tale, but it is still definitely a winner in my eyes. It served its purpose well, and I cannot recall a film I've enjoyed more as of late.

The only drawback was the tired 'boy loses girl, sulks, tries to get girl back, gets girl back, dumps her for the girl he truly loved all along' trope. However, it isn't as strained as in other films which makes it bearable.

Also, there are so many funny sequences to make up for the tired romance angle. It was a joy to watch!

PS: As an admirer of wolves, it was nice to see them portrayed so well. Why can't the wolves of Twilight not look this impressive? Oh, and if you're looking for a fun time, pal around with your favorite pet gorilla and enjoy some T.G.I. Friday's together!
