Customer Ratings & Reviews

so good movie to see with the family in a weekend.

Good family flick. We enjoyed the movie as the plot was good, no cussing, the little girl in the movie was darling and stole the show. Looking forward to seeing her in something else.

Not as good as expected, but it had some heartwarming moments. A bit predictable and cheesy, but still a positive experience.

This movie I rate just average. Although I loveMatt Damon as an actor this is not one of my favorite Matt Damon movies.

This is a wonderful family movie Matt and Scarlet did a wonderful job.

We Bought a Zoo (DVD) ok movie. our children enjoyed.

This is a very family movie. Good story line. ....

The movie for me was a bit slow and not as exciting as i wanted it to be. I would of preferred of waiting till it showed on netflix.

Meh can't remember much about this title. That says it all.

Worst movie ever, just a bunch of liberal worthless actors

“Life is an adventure”. A cliché if ever there was one. But for some people, it just so happens to be true. And Matt Damon is portraying one such person in this latest family effort from acclaimed writer/director Cameron Crowe. Benjamin Mee (Matt Damon) is an adventure columnist for a struggling newspaper, if that’s not redundant, and father of two children. His wife recently passed away due to illness leaving him to raise those children on his own. His daughter Rosie (played by Maggie Elizabeth Jones) is regularly losing sleep thanks to the hard-partying college students in the house next door. His son Dylan (played by Colin Ford), is a fourteen year-old artist who’s developed a taste for the macabre of late and who has recently been expelled from school. Rather than keep his job at the paper, which he would’ve held onto despite their financial problems thanks to his editor’s sympathy, Mee decides to sell his home and find more picturesque surroundings for him and his family. After rejecting several houses because they for dull or dime-a-dozen, they find a home situated on the grounds of a struggling zoo and embark on their greatest adventure yet. It’s cutesy, I’m not denying that. But while Zookeeper had nothing else going for it, this is entertaining and interesting and I enjoyed it very much thanks to Crowe’s screenplay and direction, a typically interesting effort from Damon and an excellent supporting cast in Elle Fanning, Thomas Hayden Church and Scarlett Johansson.

Ok my words can not do justice to this awesome movie it's that good but i will mention a few things about it. 1. The musical score alone deserves an oscar 2. matt damon who is usually very good is even better than perfect in this role/for this role 3. scarlet johanson has never been better. 4. elle fanning is well on her way to becoming an even better actress than her sister dakota. 5. thomas hayden church makes you believe that he's matt damons brother. 6. this movie is based on an uplifting and inspiring true story with the actual orginal family on set and in the movie itself. 7. this movie has great pacing it grabs hold of you and keeps pulling you in making you think and care 8. i saw 52 movies last year and this movies was better than 51 of them.....you see this movie and you will not forget it ever. 9. the special features are really really good. iv'e said this much but it deserves so much more if there was a better movie last year i didn't see it or hear about it or remember it.

I admit, I'm a huge Cameron Crowe fan. But, this movie is probably one of the most under rated films of the year. I believe it was heart warming and emotional and at the same time quite realistic. Most if all, the film has an over all deeper meaning about accepting life's circumstances and doing the best you can with them. I could go on and on. I highly recommend this film.

I enjoyed the plot of the movie. It is great for a family night. The whole family can gain something out of this movie. Teenage can learn life is not all about them. Parent(s) have to do what is best for the whole family. Sometimes starting over is the right thing to do for individuals and families.

I loved this movie. I bought it because it was on sale & was glad I did. The story was based on a real life family & the actors that played in it delivered heart warming performances.

This is an awesome movie! It is one of my favorite movies, and I can watch it with my children. Sometimes it is hard to find a movie that you can actually watch during normal waking hours because of having kids around.

This movie is about a family that did not know how to coexist together after the lose of the mother and wife. Learning how to care for the animals in this zoo somehow led them back to being a family again, by reconnecting and loving each other. Well done

Very surprised!!! One of the few movies you want to buy & watch again after viewing. It had a little for everyone! Kept you interested to the end!

This film is a great family movie with a moving storyline. All the actors were believing. Recommend this movie highly. Hope you like it too.

This is a very good family movie to sit down and watch,no nudity,swearing,or homosexual stuff. Good lesson for kids!
