As I said on the other thread, I just saw and heard of this movie for the first time this week. I did not like the movie much, though it was funny in places. One surprising thing is that this horrible zoo's fictional name is very, very close to the actual name of Marwell Zoo. What were the Marwell folks thinking in letting them do this?
Since they were allowing filming on their grounds, you'd think they would have some say over the name of the terrible movie zoo. By the way, they're filming a new movie about zoos here in the States. It's called "The Zookeeper" and starts Kevin James as a keeper with no luck with the ladies.
In despair over this, he threatens to quit his longtime keeper job, so the animals of the Zoo then reveal that they indeed can talk, and they want to help this keeper friend of theirs learn some good "mating habits". Many famous stars are contributing animal voices, including Adam Sandler.
The movie is being filmed now in Boston's Franklin Park Zoo -- giving that zoo a nice financial boost. ANyhuis , 30 Jul Joined: 5 Dec Posts: 19, Location: england. Pertinax , 30 Jul I thought it was funny, like mentioned above it was a typical British comedy.
James27 , 30 Jul I watched it on YouTube when it was mentioned in the 'Zoos as Playgrounds' thread. I thought it was quite funny too, although bits certainly tried to hard. I also found it interesting that the writer had done their homework, for example, mentioning Willie-B from Atlanta. Joined: 31 Mar Posts: Location: London.

Alternate versions To receive a PG certificate for UK cinemas one cut was made to remove Rollo's use of 'fucking hell'. Video and DVD releases were uncut and the rating increased to a User reviews Review. Top review. Insanely funny. Rollo is the director of a London zoo which is not making enough money for billionaire Rod McCain, who doesn't need the money but doesn't care.
His idea is to get rid of all animals that are not "fierce creatures" because the less dangerous animals don't produce enough revenue. The zoo employees try in vain to persuade Rollo that some of the animals are in fact fierce, but it doesn't work.
Rollo's solution turns out to be quite hilarious, and not as demented as it might seem. But Rod is not happy with the job Rollo is doing, and he sends Vince and Willa to make improvements. With hilarious results. Add to that a naughty sense of humor. For example, while Rollo is hiding some of the less desirable animals in his sleeping quarters, Willa on the phone thinks he has numerous women with him.
Plenty of other evidence of Rollo's supposed womanizing gets him in even more trouble. And then there is the time the woman falls down steps and needs an ambulance. One has to forget the concern that might be felt for characters in pain in most movies or TV shows, and just enjoy the moment. John Cleese and Jamie Lee Curtis both do fine jobs here.
Cleese has an insane sense of humor, though his consideration for others lacks the outrageousness of Basil Fawlty. That's probably a good thing; Kevin Klines's two characters do enough of that sort of thing. Curtis does her best work when not even saying a word, making expert use of facial expressions. Plus she has a hot body and shows it off in tight and often revealing outfits. I don't think I'd recommend this for children.
Animatronic animals were used in several scenes, though not supplied by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. However, several veteran Creature Shop puppeteers worked on the film.
