Zookeeper

Dear Diary,

The movie that we watched using the complimentary movie passes was Zookeeper and we watched it at TGV Wangsa Walk.

Zookeeper was directed by Frank Coraci and was starred by Kevin James (as Griffin Keyes), Rosario Dawson (as Kate), Leslie Bibb (as Stephanie), etc with voices of Adam Sandler, Cher, Sylvester Stallone and Nick Nolte for the zoo animals. This comedy centers on Griffin who works as a zookeeper at Franklin Park Zoo. He is one sweet hardworking man who is very kind towards all the animals under his care. I first know Kevin James from the sitcom The King of Queen. After a terrible break up, he meets again with Stephanie, his ex-girlfriend, and determines to woo her back.

Through an incident, Griffin was gifted with a special talent of being able to communicate with animals. Since he has been nothing but kind to the animals, they do him a favor by helping him in getting his ex back and teaching him animals’ ways of courtship. This is where most of the hilarious scenes can be seen. After going through some funny “ordeal”, he successfully gets Stephanie to fall in favor with him. In the process, Griffin however changes himself to be what the girl wants him to be. In other words, he’s not true to himself.

In love, we should accept a person for what he or she is. Accept everything the good and the bad, the strengths and the flaws. Sometimes we’re too focus on what we think is good for us that we misapprehend the bigger picture and overlook the true gem that has been in front of us all along.
