I didn't have high hopes for this movie but I was actually very pleased. Buying the zoo is actually the under lining story, the movie is about life and family struggles.

I found this to be a very heartwarming story. This is about a man and his children who are trying to deal with their grief, and find away to come together as a family. Buying the zoo brought about change in their lives, that ultimately helped them do just that. This was not the light "bit of fluff I was anticipating, however it was a good movie.

    Very funny! Scarlett Johansson was wonderful. Benjamin Mee is a very likable character, someone you'd like to hang out with. Maggie Elizabeth Jones was Marvelous. As others have mentioned it is not meant to be a comedy but it is. It is also a movie about grief and figuring out how to survive it.

    We rented this for a family movie night (kids 3, 5, 5). They liked the movie, but there were several instances where there's cussing. We weren't really prepared for it, and it pops up several times throughout the movie. If this isn't an issue for you, then I'd recommend the movie

    What a good movie! The story was fulfilling, even better that it's based on real events. The acting was great, Maggie Elizabeth Jones did such a nice acting job for her age! Entirely fantastic!
