Zookeeper - 2/10
I got dragged into watching it today by my mom. I wanted to see Horrible Bosses, but she watched it yesterday when she went out with her friend. Plus, she didn't want to see it two days in a row and she thought the other movies they were playing looked kinda dumb, so in the end we went with Zookeeper because she thought it looked "cute". Good lord, it wasn't cute at all... It was more annoying than anything.
The humor was really cheesy, the fact that the animals talked made it even cheesier, I only laughed twice throughout the entire movie, and the characters were really boring and annoying. I just kept rolling my eyes throughout the entire thing because it was so cheesy and irritating. What made my experience even worse was the fact that the theater was loaded with kids who kept laughing exaggeratedly at the stupidest things (that's just kids though...) and the family with these devilish little kids sitting behind me kept kicking my seat and talking really loud. I was so irritated. It just gave me even more reason to despise kids.
It wasn't even that much of a kid movie anyway. They kept saying "hell" and "crap" and the movie had other slightly mature elements to it like 'mating'. Honestly, half the kids in that theater probably didn't even know where they came from so let's not be putting any strange ideas into their heads with this movie, shall we?
Overall, I want to give this movie a big fat zero but it was the tiniest bit amusing when it wasn't annoying the hell out of me and the message behind it was positive so I'll cut it some slack. Still doesn't change the fact that I desperately wanted to throw some soda at the screen as I walked out of the theater.
Movies like this one can't help but make me wonder what's become of the cinematic industry, and this world.
