I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

I just watched Zookeeper and found it to be entertaining and humorous.
This movie is a cute romantic comedy that goes a little over the top. That's what makes it a comedy. I enjoyed the talking animals and I'm an adult who doesn't even have any kids.

Cinema has just reached a new low. I honestly never thought I would see a movie that was worse than Furry Vengeance, but I was wrong. This movie was just painful to watch. It's overly cutesy messages, clumsy and cliché plot, and unimpressive casting chokes the brain of anyone unfortunate enough to see it. Guess what the plot is? Chubby, relatable dork wants to meet a girl, so the animals try to coach him on how to date. Yeah, it made me throw up a little in my mouth just to write it. This movie would only be enjoyable to the youngest of viewers, (or someone who has never seen another movie before). The only reason I would ever recommend Zookeeper to someone else would be for revenge, and it would require something terrible to deserve this movie... like a war crime.

Griffin Keyes (Kevin James) is the perfect employee. In addition to being the favorite of all the animals at the Franklin Park Zoo, he's professional, courteous and well-liked by his co-workers. His dedication was only compounded when, five years earlier, he was dumped by his fiancée mid-proposal. But when his fiancée (Leslie Bibb) comes back into his life at his brother's engagement party, his career soon feels like an albatross around his neck. Fearing the loss of their favorite zookeeper, the animals (voiced by Sylvester Stallone, Nick Nolte, Cher and others) intervene. They reveal the fact that they can speak and always could and then proceed to offer Griffin whatever help they can in winning back his former girlfriend. The attempts and advice vary in detail but what it all amounts to is a slapstick tsunami. It can enhance a storyline when used correctly but the use of it in this film is meant to replace one. It makes for a lot of laughs, but not a lot of originality. Basically, if you've seen the commercial, you've seen the movie. The kids will enjoy it, you might too, but you'd like it just as much if you waited to rent the DVD.

I'm not sure what the negative reviews regarding this movie are about but speaking for myself and my husband, we enjoyed this movie immensely! This is a wonderful movie for the entire family and people of all ages. It's a nice, light comedy that doesn't fail to deliver. Kevin James is at his usual comic best; the physical comedy is hilarious and his timing is impeccable. You will be laughing from beginning to end. What I liked most about this movie is that it gives the animals a real voice; particularly Bernie who was once abused by another zookeeper and, as a result, got put into solitary confinement in a dark cave. This movie showed that animals do have feelings and that they need to be respected and treated with kindness and compassion. All in all, this movie is definitely worth seeing; you won't regret it!! I give this film 10 stars and a million thumbs up.
