Zookeeper

Zookeeper is a 2011 American comedy film directed by Frank Coraci produced by MGM and Happy Madison Productions and distributed by Columbia Pictures.

Plot
Kindhearted Griffin Keyes (Kevin James) is one of the best-loved caretakers at the Franklin Park Zoo, but since he is more comfortable with the animals than with females of his own species, his love life is lacking. When Griffin decides that the only way to get a girlfriend is to find a more glamorous career, the animals panic. To keep him from leaving, they reveal their secret ability to talk and offer to teach him the rules of courtship, animal style.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Like with most Happy Madison films, the story is very nonsensical and poor.
 * 2) The film feels like a ripoff of Night at the Museum and that it’s trying to cash in on the success of the Night at the Museum films.
 * 3) Stephanie is a very unlikeable character as she's self-centered and doesn't really care for Griffin's love for being a zookeeper.
 * 4) With an exception of Bernie the Gorilla, most of the zoo animals barely serve a purpose to this film other than to be used as comic reliefs or are just there to give Griffin advice.
 * 5) A lot of the humor is juvenile, childish, immature, and unfunny.
 * 6) Sub-par acting and voice acting for both the humans and the animals, even from talented actors such as Sylvester Stallone, Maya Rudolph, Nick Nolte, and Don Rickles.
 * 7) Shamefully advertises TGI Fridays during Griffin and Bernie's night out.
 * 8) Overuse of toilet jokes such as the scene where Sebastian and Griffin pee on a tree.
 * 9) The scene where the boy falls over the railing where the bears are, is very intense for a family film. Thankfully, the bears don't get anywhere close to the boy. Also, thank goodness the boy was unharmed and that he landed on a soft surface, because if he had landed on concrete or rocks, he could have died!
 * 10) False Advertising: For the poster, it makes you think that Barry the elephant is going to be played by an African Elephant, but he is played by an Indian Elephant instead. There’s also another poster that shows Griffin and Bernie on a roller coaster, but they never went to an amusement park at all in the film!
 * 11) Misleading Title: Despite the film being called Zookeeper, the film barley takes place at the zoo!
 * 12) Despite this film being rated PG, some content is inappropriate for a PG film.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Good CGI for the animals.
 * 2) Some funny moments including the scene when Griffin and Bernie are in the van listening to the song "Low" from Flo Rida and T-Pain.
 * 3) Speaking of which, the soundtrack is great.
 * 4) Griffin, Kate, Bernie, Spike the Crow, and Janet are likable characters.
 * 5) The concept is unique even though it still kind of rips off Night at the Museum.
