Kindhearted Griffin Keyes is one of the best-loved caretakers at the Franklin Park Zoo, but since he is more comfortable with the animals than with females of his own species, his love life is lacking. When Griffin decides that the only way to get a girlfriend is to find a more-glamorous career, the animals panic. To keep him from leaving, they reveal their secret ability to talk and offer to teach him the rules of courtship, animal-style.
Unfortunately, nobody had the good sense to call the comedy authorities and shut this Zookeeper down.

Will most audiences mind this? Probably not. Should they? Of course. They deserve better and frankly, so does Kevin James.

Did we mention that things just go better with Kevin James? Well-trodden comedy hooks become strangely more amusing. Goofball physical shtick elicits broader smiles. The bumblingly stupid is made endearing.

I think there should be a subdivision of the ASPCA -- American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Audiences.

Funniest moments? The outtakes during the closing credits. I rest my case.
