Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

josepainumkal I didn't expect this movie to be this good. It was awesome and gives me a very nice experience. I loved all the characters especially the kid who played Matt's seven year little daughter. It was a very nice movie set up in the background of a very unusual theme which is ... A Zoo. After watching this movie, I even wish to be the owner of that beautiful zoo.

kamna-46423 One of those movies that make you feel good about life. It tries to convey how to find hope in the middle of despair, courage in the middle of fear, and life in the middle of death. All this is tried to brought together in a humorous, light-hearted way. The daughter of Damon's character is a show-stealer and adorable. Matt Damon puts up a strong performance as Benjamin Mee and I loved the way he had shown different shades of emotions as he struggled to raise his kids alone with the memories of his late wife. Yes this film might be over sentimental and predictable at times. The plot will not be able to keep you on the edge of your seat. However, in spite of those things it is still worth to watch the heartfelt performances. I just loved the dialogue "You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it."

Floated2 We Bought a Zoo is a family film which is about a man's quest of starting a new life after the loss of his wife, so in doing so, he decides to move and buy a house which in come with a zoo (though it is not fully functioning when he buys it, as he becomes the owner and must fix it and start it back up).This film does offer some solid acting from Matt Damon as the lead, but many of the other characters are unlikeable and forgettable, specially the son. The main problem with the film is that it isn't as interesting or unique given that it's about a zoo. Nothing much out the of ordinary happens and at times it is quite dull.The movie is also very predictable but dealing with a novel, it appears to be expected. As we know everything will work out in the end, we know the zoo will be back running in good shape, people will enjoy it, the father-son relationship will better itself and eventually Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson's characters fall for each other. It is also quite unrealistic as he seemed like he was able to smoothly pay for everything that appeared to be a problem with the zoo. The film didn't mention how Matt Damon had all that money, but living in a zoo, the price would be very expensive, and the film made it seem like a fantasy. They did show some scenes of problems but overall everything seemed a little far fetched and unrealistic. Overall, We Bouth a Zoo is a typical and somewhat dull family film which doesn't offer much, but is at worst quite average. Maybe more thugs would have happened which would have been unexpected.

tieman64 Cameron Crowe's "We Bought a Zoo" stars Matt Damon as a Benjamin Mee, a single father who purchases a dilapidated zoo. With the help of his son, daughter and a gang of likable eccentrics, Benjamin attempts to reopen the zoo ahead of a crushing deadline.Like most of Crowe's work, "Zoo" strains desperately to be cute, magical and cosy. The film bludgeons you with cutesiness, every inch sentimental to a fault. Crowe would cite Bill Forsyth's "Local Hero" as an influence on his picture, a superior film about a man on a similar mission. Scarlett Johansson co-stars as "Zoo's" obligatory love interest.6/10 – Worth one viewing.
