Ick.
No chemistry whatsoever between Matt Damon and Scar-Jo...and definitely not between Scar-Jo and the kids. Beautiful zoo, though.
good movie
we bought a zoo
Not Enough Zoo!
I'm always telling my sister (who has a degree in zoology) she needs to buy me a zoo, and she rolls her eyes at me. So I thought I'd check this out for the family to watch together for a laugh. I think I was unprepared for how much of the story would center around the family dealing with the death of the mother. From the marketing, I expected more of a light-hearted story about a family buying a zoo and all the complications that come with that. But the drama of the family just went on and on.... That was fine, but I guess I would have liked it better if it had been more focused on the animals.
Cute
I watched this with my family and it was a sweet family movie.
Entertaining
It was a good movie for watching with your family.
