Sadly, Zookeeper is not the screen adaptation of D.C. author Alex MacLennan’s book of the same name. Instead it’s about talking animals and their zookeeper, played by Kevin James, who’s convinced the only way to land a woman is to quit his job. This provokes the zoo animals to converse with James, giving him dating advice so he’ll stay at his job. Sounds like a project that would be beneath even Eddie Murphy… oh, wait. Eddie already did the Doolittle thingy. Opens today, July 8. Nationwide. Visit fandango.com.
