    A decent comedy movie

    First 45 min of the movie is so hilarious till I can't stop laughing but at the middle and ending part is not convincing enough to accept the reality . Many incident was create intentionally. But I still recommend this show if u want to laugh your stress off.

    Ridiculous you say?

    Yes it certainly feels that way and the tone may be too varied, from earnest too completely silly and anything in between. But when it is funny (humans in animal costumes), it really is laugh out loud funny. Maybe I was in the right mood, or maybe this just has a certain quality to it. I'll opt to give it the benefit of the doubt and say it has quality. Certain things remain predictable, but the movie playing almost everything as straight as possible really lends to the heightening of the humor it has within. I'm more used to the thriller and action output that comes from South Korea, but this was a welcome change - one that really can work for you - with a really neat and nice message.

    Too boring and long

    There is nothing so special about this movie. The movie is bit boring but I must say, It comes with an unique concept. SERIOUSLY! Who ever think of presenting fake animals in a zoo? Though I found the movie boring and too long at the first, the middle part is full of fun elements. Espeically , their practising part and presenting themselves as real animals is really funnyy.

    Besides,comedy scenes I didn't find anything interesting. Again the ending seems rushed.

    The artists did a amazing job,can't blame them for story. Moreover, they did the costume part,which are really heavy. So,all credit goes to them for presenting a worst story with a better view.

    So,better not to watch.

    Modern ways of laughing at unequal world

    Subtle way weaving many problems of today's world into this modern comedy.

    Problems eg income inequality; excessive power of less than 1% in population; lack of social mobility & justice even for white collar workers shrinking middle class; overly land driven capitalistic economy; and more.

    Very smooth and natural flow of the plot, with both laughters (and some earned tears) in a good mix.

    Funny in parts

    The premise is quite good. Unfortunately there are lapses in the pace. The build up is slow and not very funny. When they start putting on the animal costumes and drink coke it is very funny. Quite laugh out loud for quite a while. Again when the company execs came to check out the polar bear it's funny. Liked the way the conclusion was done.
