The Short: When billionaire, company owner Rod McCain buys a small zoo as a part of a huge business deal, he sends British, ex-cop Rollo Lee to run the zoo. Chaoes ensues as a battle between staff and management tears the zoo apart, just in time for new management to take Rollo's place. Under new management the zoo becomes a marketting jungle starting a famly feud, kindling romance, and completely baffling the old zoo employees.
The Good: I really enjoyed this film, being a Monty Python fan it was interesting to see both John Cleese and Michael Palin's years of acting experience bring this comedy to life. I also loved the characterization of Americans to be sex-loving, money-hoarding, nose-in-the-air, jerks; very hilarious. How true is that? Also interesting to note is the fact that Kevin Kline plays two characters in this film.
The Bad: Bland soundtrack is probably my biggest complaint.
The Overalls: Very funny film. Maybe not for everyone who, but it has a good mix of British dry humor and American slap-stick, aa fun combination. Watch it, it'll give you a few good chuckles.
*** (3/5)
