'Zookeeper'
Columbia/Tri-Star
Rotten Tomatoes rating: 14%
Glenn Kenny, MSN: "Even with the expectations bar lowered to the criterion Mr. James and his work represent, it is still rather surprising just how godawful 'Zookeeper' is. Directed by Frank Coraci, who also supervised 'The Wedding Singer' and a couple of other deathless star vehicles for James' crony and patron Adam Sandler, from a script by James and, believe it or not, four other screenwriters, 'Zookeeper' weds 'Hitch" to 'Dr. Dolittle,' and, no, the distinction here between the crap Rex Harrison musical and the crap Eddie Murphy comedy is, for the purpose of this review, meaningless."
