John Cleese portrays “Rollo,” who is brought in by his demanding American supervisor, “McCain”—certainly no soft touch—to manage a British zoo. His initial plan involves eliminating all of the appealing animals and replacing them with dangerous lions, tigers, and bears! The employees are appalled, particularly when several fresh graves surface following a series of loud gunshots. A staff uprising prompts “McCain” (Kevin Kline) to dispatch his son, "Vince" (also CK), along with his skilled executive, "Willa" (Jamie Lee Curtis). Soon, their new marketing strategy has everything endorsed, even the employees—though, naturally, it’s all deceptive. The tortoise named in honor of Bruce Springsteen seems unlikely to ever meet his namesake. When suspicions arise regarding “Vince's” involvement with missing funds, his father decides to get rid of all these unpleasant creatures and construct a golf course instead. To assist his two assistants in impressing potential Japanese investors who are interested in the zoo, he arrives on location. It has its amusing parts, but your enjoyment will likely hinge on how much you appreciate Cleese’s slapstick humor. His lanky build often serves as his main comedic tool, highlighting his character's lack of refinement and intelligence. As the narrative progresses, there's less of that and more of Kline's playful antics, and Curtis, whom a friend believes she has a romantic interest in, is actually much more captivated by the zoo itself, followed by a rather predictable turn of events. There’s a pleasant supporting ensemble—Robert Lindsay, fellow Python Michael Palin, and Ronnie Corbett—and they, along with the animals, contribute to the film's charm, making it watchable but not particularly unforgettable.
