Synopsis: Oscarr Winner Matt Damon gives a heartfelt performance in this "delightful surprise" (Lou Lumenick, New York Post) 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" (Bill Bregoli, CBS Radio News) celebration of the human spirit.

Review: We weren't sure what to expect going into We Bought a Zoo...often times these types of movies come of dull, but not in this case.  Not only did we love it as parents, but the kids loved it, too!  Its so hard to find a movie that the entire family can enjoy.   The overlying message of the film is rebirth and renewal and how a family finds themselves again.  This one has some great animals, family drama and a sweet story.  We highly recommend it.
