Zookeeper


Movie Name: Zookeeper
Language: English
Genre: Romance, Comedy, Drama

I opted to watch Zookeeper as it was produced by Adam Sandler and Kevin James was performing the lead role. I have been a fan of Sandler's comedy movies.

The story of the movie revolves around a simple guy named Griffin who works as a zookeeper. He is very affectionate towards zoo animals. Therefore zoo animals decide to disclose the secret to him that they can all talk like humans. They do this in order to help him to get his dream-girl who rejected his marriage proposal 5 years ago and is back in his life. Griffin changes himself to be liked by his love but in the process he realizes the true love of his life and importance of being oneself. There have been several movies made with the similar formula, only the talking animals have added to the novelty.

The acting by Kevin James was good but nothing exemplary. He has portrayed the character somewhat similar to the one in "Hitch". But here Will Smith is not there to support him :) All of the voice actors and scenes with animals were good. None else had much screen space. The comic timings of the movie was a bit off and therefore movie was not able to make me laugh that hard. There is not anything else worth mentioning. In sum, movie was not able to deliver up to the expectations.

My ratings are 2.5/5.0
