About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a broad, bawdy zoo farce with corporate greed jokes, eccentric staff, and animal chaos, especially if you liked A Fish Called Wanda; Not for you if you need tight plotting or consistent big laughs.
Pros: silly farce energy; sharp corporate satire; fun animal gags | Cons: uneven laughs; thin story; compared to Wanda
