ZOOKEEPER

I almost opted last week to see "Zookeeper" rather than "Horrible Bosses" because of a review I had read on both in our local newspaper.  As I've said.....loved "Horrible Bosses" so I was so excited to see this movie that this critic deemed better. 

Thank God I saw "Horrible Bosses" first or, I would have chalked it up to one I would maybe catch on TV. 

"Zookeeper" had so much promise.  Kevin James is a lovable guy and, who doesn't like the voices of Sylvester Stallone, Cher, Don Rickles.....et al.  We've enjoyed listening to animals talk since the first cartoon was ever shown.  We've loved film where animals spoke to humans since "Mr. Ed".  And, once again, in "Zookeeper", the non-humans stole the show.

Problem was all the highlights were seen in the trailer.  Once you had seen them there was little to keep your interest or, even care about what was to happen next.   Keep up the good work Mr. James and, you will find the right director for your talents.
