Kevin James tries to build on the success of Paul Blart: Mall Cop with Zookeeper.

Ron checks the movie out…

Griffin (Kevin James) is a dedicated, loyal, friendly zookeeper.

Man thinks he wants girl, ignores perfect match.

Man changes himself to get girl, after using perfect match as jealousy bait.

Man gets perfect match, who loves him for himself.

ZookeepermakesCars 2look likeUp, and thats definitely not the case.

Too many cooks ruin the broth, as the expression says, and this is a pretty laugh-free broth.

Even as a kids movie goes, and this is definitely aimed at children, it doesnt work.

Kids are going to be bored stiff (and so will adults, for that matter).

To be honest, I feel bad for everyone involved in this film.

When you talk about an all-star cast, this is what youre talking about.

This movie is sad.

Too predictable, too schmaltzy, and too dumb.
