It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

You know, Disney has owned the family friendly, good movies for almost all of time. But this is truly something the whole family can watch, and everyone get some real entertainment value from it. It's not a blockbuster, or one of those titles that do what Star Wars did in its day. But it's really good from the lip sync and the puppeteers to the acting. It was very good. All of the user reviews given from prerelease to early on, I believe were either jealousy or the reviewers had no business reviewing anything in this genre. Or maybe they have no reason reviewing anything at all. I'd even question whether some have even seen the title. It's like saying The Lion King or The Fox and the Hound were a total waste of time, or had no business being a kids movie.
Maybe they're just out to damage IMDb as a whole, or ruin their credibility.

I watched this movie with my family, it isn't easy to find a good one, where everyone is pleased of what we are watching...This was fun, entertaining and the good one!Totally underrated, it Really deserve much more and i seriously don't understand what people was expecting more about it. So many people unable to have a laugh, refusing to have fun because it wasn't extremely new content.... i quote another review i found, suitable to this weighted average vote... " I can understand if people can't stand Kevin James's frenetic humor IF YOU WATCHED IT, but over 400 votes of "1 star" a week before the movie is even released shows some shameful attitudes among IMDb voters. Purposeful down-voting is never justified, and is especially a disservice to Zookeeper, which actually turned out to be a pleasant surprise."haters gonna hate!

Plot Summary: Zoo Animals break their silence to help their Zookeeper (Kevin James) find true love (Rosario Dawson) so he doesn't decide to leave his current job for something more agreeable. Can they do it? will anybody care?! Not me, that's for sure.Kevin James is just as bad as Adam Sandler these days in my opinion. I got so annoyed by this movie that I turned it off at about 50 minutes in. Zookeeper is about as lazy it gets. OK. Paul Blart: Mall Cop wasn't all that bad, but it was still lazy to the extreme. The fact that families pay their hard earned money to go see this stuff at theaters makes me sick. I always say to each their own, but you and your kids deserve much, much better.Final Thoughts: This is a terrible review and I realize that. I didn't see the whole thing because I am not going to resort to torturing myself. It doesn't help that I can't stand Kevin James.DUD

I found it difficult to believe some of the negative reviews for this movie. I didn't know really what to expect going in, other than what the movie was about, that it was a comedy that featured talking animals. I love animals and so I thought it might be a good pick. I was not wrong, I'm happy to say. What a great movie! I found it very endearing, as well as funny and highly entertaining. I found myself laughing out loud many times throughout the movie. The animals were hilarious and Nick Nolte as the voice of Bernie the Gorilla, Cher as the female lioness, and Sylvester Stallone the Lion, did stellar jobs in their roles, not to mention the other actors who did the voices for the all the rest of the animals, like the Crow, the Monkey (Adam Sandler) the Giraffe and the Elephant.I liked the light romantic aspect of the movie, and I won't tell you the end result of that part as it would be spoiling it, but the whole scene from the time Griffin had the bicycle race with his nemesis Gale and then finally at the wedding reception I found absolutely hilarious.There were a few touching moments too, between Bernie the gorilla and Griffin, as well hilarious ones, like when Bernie decides to drive and while he slips in behind the wheel he says to Griffin, "Don't worry, I got this!" Griffin says, "Okay," and gets in the passenger side. Bernie takes off and goes straight across the road and immediately smashes into a parked car.This movie was SOOO funny. The dialog was great too, not only from the human stars but especially some of the things the animals said. All in all I highly recommend this to people that like to laugh and who love animal movies that are family oriented.
