If you are interested in movies with sensible plots and realistic characters, this movie is not for you. If you are interested in movies with adorable children, even cuter animals, and comedy from pure stupidity, this movie will be great for you. It starts with Billy and his friend Kobi at the zoo, where they run into Doreen, the girl Billy likes. Doreen is very interested in tigers and Billy decides he wants a baby tiger. Then the two least intimidating two-dimensional "bullies" show up just to torment Billy and Kobi, who cannot defend themselves because they are for some reason scared of the two foot bully and his slightly taller idiot partner. Sounds much more scary than having a tiger live in your room. The bullies throw Billy's backpack into the tiger exhibit. The zookeeper goes into get it, but for some reason does not close the gate all the way. I guess worse case scenario everyone gets eaten and the zoo is shut down. On the way home Billy talks to his parents about wanting a baby tiger, only to discover one in his backpack when he gets home. He tells his parents, who don't believe him and don't even bother to check. Billy hides the tiger in his room, worried that he might get arrested for the tiger who accidentally ended up in his backpack due to the zookeepers inability to close the gate. He is not at all worried about sharing a room with a tiger, when he already has a dog, and even baby tigers may scratch or bite if they're scared. Sadly, Billy is the smartest character. The dog and tiger seem to get along fine, until the tiger destroys the house and Billy let's the dog take the fall. Again, why doesn't he tell his parents the truth? He can't get in trouble because he already told hos parents about the tiger. Billy shows the tiger to Kobi and makes him promise not to tell. He almost immediately tells the bullies in front of all the popular kids. Doreen hangs out with the mean girls, even though she's super nice. The bullies threaten to beat up Billy and Kobi if they don't show them the tiger, and what can be scarier than getting beat up by a 2 foot tall boy? The bullies try to steal the tiger, but end up being scared, and the tiger is revealed to Billy's parents. Billy returns the tiger and everyone acts like nothing happens, when the zoo should be offering Billy a large sum not to sue them. The plot of this movie is so senseless that it's hilarious. I recommend it to people who like those kind of movies.
