True story. This is a great movie especially for those who lost loved ones. This story is inspirational that your life even children's lives can go on and dreams still can come true. Also the loved one lost is smiling on those left behinf that life is gone on when we never thought it could. Great to watch alone. Great to watch as a couple. Great to watch as family movie night. So pop the popcorn get a cozy blanket turn lights down low use the pause button. Don't miss it. Enjoy and learn this is your circus day. Enjoy the animals and more.

Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson deliver a great performance in a touching and comedic family movie with a hint of drama about a widowed single father who moves his family to the country in order to start over after the death of his wife. They find the perfect home with only one catch. It is a zoo! And he can't sell off the animals. If he wants the home, he must manage the zoo. Thomas Haden Church does a great job adding laughs to the movie. Touching, heart warming, and funny, I highly recommend this film!

I saw some advertising for this film when it was released, but heard nothing of it since. I had to buy something costing one more dollar, and this was $2. I really enjoyed the film. Matt Daman does a great job and is very convincing as a struggling father. I would surely recommend this to any family. Especially for only $2.

Based on a true story, this movie has some good family entertainment. It's rare to watch a movie about a father, who just lost his wife, try to do what's best for his kids - to keep the family together. I bought the movie, because I admire the director and was hoping he'd give some insight into his filmmaking process. Unfortunately, the director gave very little insight, which was a big disappointment. But it's a very good film.

A true story of a family that buys a zoo. Matt Damon as a father trying to nurture two children and trying to survive with a smile. The zoo was a great character to this story. The family, workers at zoo and community come together for success. DVD extras gave a glimpse of the actual zoo and family. Must see family film!
