Oscar® Winner Matt Damon gives a heartfelt performance in this delightful film that's 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 celebration of the human spirit.

Graderings en resensies

Minus the stellar cast, this film isn't worth watching. It is depressing (it really needs some comic moments), rather unlike the 'nice uplifting' film you'd expect by looking at the film poster and adverts. The end doesn't make any sense either and left me and my sister confused. Don't bother watching, let alone buying, for this film will leave you disappointed.

Love this movie. It plays the strings of your heart like a violin. Didn't think I would love this movie as much as I do but there you go. Matt Damon was wonderful to watch and the chemistry he had with his kids in the movie was evident. I'd easily recommend this movie to people to watch.

Absolutely love this film. For my partner & myself it is one of those feel good films. Raining & cold outside sort of days & this film goes on
