Zookeeper

It's "Madagascar" meets "A Night at the Museum" when the "King of Queens" meets the "King of the Jungle" at New England's Franklin Park Zoo. Griffin's (Kevin James) zookeeper outfit looks a lot like Doug Hefferman's delivery guy uniform except for the logo and this character pretty much behaves the same. This zany zoo romantic comedy involves a guy (James)trying to win back his girl (Leslie Bibb) by following advice from a menagerie of friends who only talk to him. The two intentionally unlikeable characters are irritatingly over played. The lovely Rosario Dawson is always a joy to watch. Hangover's Ken Jeong is unfortunately underutilized. Columbia Pictures must have made a sweet deal for two of CBS's "Blue Bloods" finest to appear as zoo employees. This fabulous family film features pure silliness for the kids, but adults will also be entertained by the animals with attitude (they steal the show). The CGI work is so seamless that Alien can't tell the real critters from the animated ones. Stay seated during the credits for outtakes, a CGI secret, and a round of animal karaoke.

Alien gives it 3 "awesome animal antics" stars out of 4.
