Oscar winner Matt Damon gives a heartfelt performance in this film which is based on a true story. When his teenage son gets into trouble, Benjamin Mee (Damon) gives up a lucrative newspaper job to move his family to the most unlikely of places: a zoo! With help from an eclectic staff, and with many misadventures along the way, Benjamin embarks on a fresh beginning to restore the dilapidated zoo to its former glory, while uniting his family. From the director of Jerry Maguire, We Bought A Zoo is a "wonderful, warm and witty" (Bill Bregoli, CBS Radio News) celebration of the human spirit.
Features:
It's A Zoo: Behind The Scenes With The Animals
Audio Commentary With Director Cameron Crowe, Actor JB Smoove And Editor Mark Livolsi

My whole family loved this movie, even the little guys (age 6 and 2). There were animals, teeanage angst, funny moments, sad moments and Matt Damon--a little something for everyone. The movie was full of bittersweet, thought provoking scenes and great writing. Great family movie.

This movie brought tears AND joy to my eyes. Matt Damon is good in anything. That little girl that played his daughter is the cutest thing ever. I can't wait to watch it again. |
