Over deze film

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.

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.

Great family entertainment, novel concept sustains an engaging and lovely movie about family and relationships. Once in a lifetime, we should all 'buy a zoo'.

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.
