Zookeeper Game

I watched The Zookeeper the other night with my kids. At one point in the movie the Kevin James character decides, on the advice of the talking animals at the zoo, that he's not going to be the old him anymore. One of the things his talking animals tell him to do to get his old hotty girlfriend (Leslie Bibb) back is to alternate compliments with mild put-downs. And he follows up with one of the most riotously funny over-the-top push-pull routine with alternating compliments and Mystery style negs on steroids you have ever seen. He uses the same technique later in the scene to tame an obnoxious art world trend-setter. It's one of the best examples of PUA style negs and push-pull banter I've ever seen on screen. The rest of the movie is funny but does not pass the cool movie test. If that matters to you, don't see it. If you want a cool movie that is also a riot, and sweet, with a completely perverse application of Game in it, watch Kick Ass. It's as violent and fun as Sucker Punch but there's a sweet teenage love story mixed in along with some crazy slapstick humor.
