Zookeeper (film)

Zookeeper is a 2011 comedy film starring Kevin James. James plays a zookeeper who needs a better job so he can impress his girlfriend. The animals at the zoo, however, don't want him to leave, so they start talking to him and try to help him get the girl while still continuing to be a zookeeper.

Zookeeper provides examples of:

• Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat: Gail wouldn't have fallen off his bike if he hadn't insisted on pestering Griffin instead of just racing ahead of him.

• The Pratfall: An excellent flying one after running into a metal bar with his head.
• Prickly Porcupine: Appears to be of the projectile-launching variety.

• Refuge in Audacity: How do you take a talking gorilla to T.G.I.Friday's? Put him in a T-shirt and claim you're coming from a costume party.
• Small Annoying Creature: The monkey.
• Sssssnaketalk: Venom's license plate.
