| Original Score: D | Dec 31, 2011

From the unstoppable Adam Sandler hit factory comes this pleasant, kid-friendly, ultra-formulaic shlub-does-good comedy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 14, 2011

Fans of the sight of James falling over will get a big kick out of Zookeeper, but this deranged comedy will leave everyone else scratching their heads.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 14, 2011

To produce something as emphatically unfunny as this, the script's five-man team must have whipped themselves into a state of mutual delusion.

| Original Score: .5/5 | Sep 7, 2011

If as much money had gone into the screenplay as must have gone into the paying for the star voices we might have ended up with something less mundane.

In which Kevin James yet again proves his absolute unfitness (in both senses) for the part of romantic comedy lead.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 29, 2011

Kevin James is the hero of this "comedy", which boasts five screenwriters and not a single amusing moment.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Jul 28, 2011

The comedy premise is confused and underwhelming while the formulaic romance is a waste of the charismatic leads.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 28, 2011

Funniest moments? The outtakes during the closing credits. I rest my case.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 27, 2011

Some sparks of comedy and fun but largely a flat and unrewarding comedy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 24, 2011

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...

Perhaps the madcap adventures of a love-lorn middle aged man is not exactly kid's stuff. But it sure isn't for the adults in the audience either.

I think there should be a subdivision of the ASPCA -- American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Audiences.

| Original Score: D | Jul 8, 2011

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.

I'm not gonna sugarcoat this: Movies don't have to be this bad.

Full Review | Jul 8, 2011

The movie is all concept and no execution, a few decent lines and a couple of nice sight gags not enough to make even partly worthy of a potential viewer's time.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 8, 2011

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

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 8, 2011

Unfortunately, nobody had the good sense to call the comedy authorities and shut this Zookeeper down.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 8, 2011

Offensive to women, men, children, parents, WASPs, Asians, African-Americans, animals and zookeepers … a movie with no conceivable audience.
