A group of animals in the form of cartoon looks smart and mature. This group of pets are trying to do a noble job in order to help the park keeper to find love again. It seems that the animals are trying to break the code of silence they used to do this task in the hope that it is a secret without losing the park keeper what can be lost.
Kevin James has developed an irresistible screen persona as a nice-guy/underdog, which has served him well in some pretty mediocre films like Paul Blart: Mall Cop. In that context, Zookeeper is a quantum leap forward...

A high concept-movie falls almost as flat as star Kevin James doing pratfalls.
Did we mention that things just go better with Kevin James? Well-trodden comedy hooks become strangely more amusing. Goofball physical shtick elicits broader smiles. The bumblingly stupid is made endearing.

Will most audiences mind this? Probably not. Should they? Of course. They deserve better and frankly, so does Kevin James.
