What is Zookeeper all about?
I don’t know why a kiddie movie like Zookeeper got delayed to see a release in India. Zookeeper has seen a release back in the US long time ago. And it has relieved a mixed bag of reviews and collections. But leaving that aside, Zookeeper looks like a movie that our Indian audiences would love to watch, as the movie is not complicated and is fun to watch.
And any which ways good movies never see a day of release in India, so a movie like Zookeeper goes on to earn good movie back in India. So let’s talk about the plot of Zookeeper. Well the plot of Zookeeper obviously revolves around a Zookeeper, no prizes for guessing this. Well this Zookeeper is Griffin Keyes played by the funny man Kevin James. And Griffin basically is in love with a sexy looking girl named Stephanie played by Leslie Bibb who rejects his very sweet proposal of marriage not because he is fat but because he is a Zookeeper. Girls, you just cant understand them. Anyways she leaves him and now five years down the line Griffin keeps a party for his brother’s marriage and he finds Stephanie there and now Griffin thinks about leaving the Zoo and he wants to do a job which would make Stephanie happy. His brother also asks him to come and work with him.
But now the animals of the zoo hear this and they decide and hold a meeting to stop Griffin from leaving the job and they do that and when Griffin believes that he is not dreaming they convince him that they would advice how to woo Stephanie. And now things go haywire every time and then what happens forms the climax of this movie. Will Griffin be able to woo Stephanie or there is something else in store for him. Well you will have you watch the movie which is releasing this week at a theatre near you.
And during all this he makes great friends with all the animals and especially with Bernie the Gorilla who first never used to talk but now in the end they become best of the friends. And so do all the animals of the Zoo because Griffin is the best Zookeeper ever.
So will you go and watch this flick, well give us your views in the comments section below.
