Review: I just returned from seeing Zookeeper, and was thoroughly delighted and amused. Excellent creation of the animals, with very nicely mouth movements to coordinate with the dialogue.

Scripting was excellent – absolutely hilarious. The voicing for the animals (especially the monkey) was top-notch.

Those who believe this is a childrens movie is really missing the mark. At our viewing of the film , there were approximately 50 attendees – NO CHILDREN! Age ranges were from early 20s to mid 60s. The audience was roaring throughout the film, and continued to do so as they filed out of the auditorium – reflecting on their favorite parts. Some of the audience members stood in the lobby of the theater – strangers, mind you – chatting about the film and sharing some additional laughs.

I have already read some so-called movie critics who are body-slamming this delightful film. Clearly, they depict in invalidity of what is a so-called professional critic. As for me and my wife, and the audience at our viewing, it is absolutely a Thumbs Up experience.

Beyond worth seeing. If you appreciate silly humor, and hearing some of your favorite actors voices, AND enjoy a pleasant – though predictable – ending, this is a MUST SEE!
