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!

Had wanted this movie for a while. Years ago, rented the the movie a couple of times and it wouldn't play in the DVR. It was once last week. Searched for it and bought it. It plays in my box. Thank you.

I so enjoyed watching this with the girls and my husband. We are members of San Diego Zoo and Safari Park; which is very close to the Actual zoo in this movie. I was very touched by the intimacy with the elder tiger and his eventual demise. Great portrayal acting.

IThe price of $2.99 was unbelievable , it was a great family film! He bought a house with a backyard as a zoo, he wasn't told it came with a zoo. To his surprise, he bought a zoo and had to make it work with the employees that also came wiith the property.

Great movie! Wonderful story! Animals are great! Matt Damon, Scarlett Johanssen, Elle Fanning, and Thomas Haden Church are terrific!

I thought this movie was great for the whole family, especially if you love animals!!! There were some sad parts in it but all turned out well in the end and the characters were great. Fun movie to watch.

I had a copy, but someone borrowed and didn't return it, probably because they couldn't part with it. It is a must to see often.

Great cast all around. Story of a family that needs a change in order to come together. They manage that by buying a zoo and get so much more. Meanwhile, there's a zoo that needs new caretakers and they wind up with a great family. Really a sweet, heartwarming story.

We Bought A Zoo was a very entertaining family movie that we enjoyed watching together . Highly recommend this movie and worth seeing

It's a very heart-warming movie. Deals with the ups and downs of having kids, along with the ups and downs the kids experience.

This is a great movie for all members of the family! Based on a true story it shows how a family deals with loss and perseveres. Could watch the movie numerous times.

Nice story about a dad, his son, and daughter seeking a new adventure after the mother's death by buying a defunct zoo and returning it to operation. Based on a true story. Good for all ages - I enjoyed it more than I expected I would.

this movie is a feel good movie.. In this time of hopelessness it will make you laugh and make you cry...

This is a really great movie based on a true story. Who wouldn't want to own a zoo, teach their children that life goes on and to follow their dreams.

Really enjoy this flick.....good for the whole family young & old. It moved along at a nice pace and gave me a few good laughs along the way.

What a father does to do what's best for his children. Great family dvd! Shows what hard work ends up bring family great fun in the end !
