After suffering through a hot day at work I took Sky to see Zookeeper last night. As goofy, physical comedies go this one was pretty good. Honestly better than I thought going in and it had me laughing pretty consistently. Nothing that had me on the floor but was genuinely funny. The story is about a Zookeeper played by Kevin James who gets dumped while proposing to his girlfriend played by Leslie Bibb then tries to win her back 5 years later when he sees her again. The zoo animals all help him win her back so he'll stay at the zoo and in the process reveal to him that they can talk. Lot's of physical comedy and the animals advise Griffin to do what they would do to attract a mate in the wild. Rosario Dawson plays Kate his co worker at the zoo as the girl he should really be with. Rosario was amazing, she's strikingly beautiful yet pulls off fun and down to earth. It's a no brainer between her and Leslie, no offense to Leslie. Kim Jeong plays a small role as the zoo's reptile guy and steals every scene he's in. The animals were pretty good but Sandler was the funniest in his role as a mischievous capuchin monkey. Right after Sandler, Jon Favreau and Faizon Love were also great as a pair of bickering bears.
The bottom line is that while I don't think it's going to crack may people's top 5 it was funny and a nice way to beat the heat for a couple of hours.
