So much of this lazy and generic comedy annoyed me. I simply have no time for it. The animals of Kevin James' Zoo are afraid he will leave his job in order to win the affections of an incredibly hot blond way out of his league. So they decide to dispense their own mating rituals for him to try. Boring predictable scenes follow as Kevin James makes a fool of himself. I know it's for kids, but which kid is really going to care about this fat middle-aged man getting a woman? I should have known it was going to be bad by the voice cast alone. If I was in charge of casting the voices for animals in a family movie the two people at the bottom of my list would be Nick Nolte and Sly Stallone.They are almost unintelligible. How about some people that don't sound like drunk tramps? Next up we have the stupid story. These animals can talk, not only to James, but to anyone they like, and they've always been able to. So why haven't they talked out about poor living conditions? The extinction of their species? The abuse at the hands of Donnie Wahlberg? I guess James getting laid is more important. Oh wait, he wrote the script, now I see. Finally we have James' character. An absolutely idiotic moron. It isn't the fact that he's stupid that annoys me, it's that his stupidity is inconsistent. He will gladly squat like a frog or urinate on a tree in a crowded restaurant where people see him, but when the monkey suggests he throws poo he's all like "No way man". But everything in the film up to that point shows that he would do that. I guess even James has some humility. Overall this is a dream project for James, where he just gets by being fat, with no jokes, and is surrounded by beautiful women.
