Movies like Zookeeper

Night at the Museum combines humor with a magical twist, similar to Zookeeper. In this movie, museum exhibits come to life, providing the same blend of comedy and wonder, with a central character caught in extraordinary circumstances.

In Bedtime Stories, Adam Sandler's character discovers that the tales he tells his niece and nephew start to come true, offering the same blend of reality and fantasy that viewers enjoy in Zookeeper.

The reimagined version of The Nutty Professor starring Eddie Murphy, where the main character undergoes a dramatic physical transformation, hits similar comedic notes to Zookeeper with a protagonist experiencing unusual life changes.

A sequel to Bruce Almighty, Evan Almighty stars Steve Carell who, like James in Zookeeper, finds himself in a unique situation where animals play a central role, this time in the form of a modern-day Noah's Ark story.

Adam Sandler shines in The Waterboy as an underdog who becomes a football hero. Much like Zookeeper, it's a lighthearted comedy that roots for the unlikely hero, with a touch of romance to sweeten the deal.

Eddie Murphy's Daddy Day Care features adults in over their heads in a child-centric venture, echoing Zookeeper's theme of adults finding themselves in humorous and unexpected situations while trying to manage a chaotic environment.

Another Kevin James lead, Paul Blart: Mall Cop is the story of a mild-mannered security officer tackling unlikely challenges with heart and humor. As in Zookeeper, James brings his everyman charm and slapstick comedy to a family-friendly audience.
