An average movie

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Rosario Dawson, I thought I might as well give it a try. And, indeed, the whole thing turned out to be pretty lame. I mean, the talking animals were not that bad and it was actually a rather fun voice-over cast (Nick Nolte, Adam Sandler, Sylvester Stallone, Cher, Judd Apatow , Jon Favreau, Faizon Love, Maya Rudolph) but what was really tedious is the way they tried to make them advise the main character about his love life… That was seriously tedious. At one point, Kevin James went out with the gorilla and that was really whack but it worked actually better than the whole romantic angle which was just so pedestrian and uninteresting. Concerning Kevin James, I’m glad for him that he finally managed to become a leading man but he has to start picking up some better material to convince me some day. Rosario Dawson did what she could but she had a very thankless job and was completely wasted here. To conclude, I have seen worse, but it still remain a rather lame comedy and it is not really worth a look, even if you like the genre.
