Kevin James plays Griffin Keyes, a kind-hearted zookeeper who is convinced the only way to get a girl in his life is to quit his job.

what, he works overtime constantly so there is no time left to socialize? girls despise people who work at zoos or low level jobs?

The zoo animals, in a panic, decide to break their time-honored rule of not talking to humans and teach Griffin the ways of the wild so he can find a mate and stay at the zoo.

basically, its an egoistic attempt to keep a satisfactory zookeeper (their 'help' serves primarily their own interests)
if animals were to be able to learn/use human language it would mean they are more intelligent than humans, furthermore by not speaking even to kind-hearted/favorable people they show disrespect/superiority
the animals understand human relationships?
the zookeeper needs a mate?
in order to get a mate he needs to learn 'the ways of the wild'?

but then again, its harmless family entertainment, done by benevolent scriptwriters/directors and honest companies, eh?
