We Bought A Zoo


Today I have been to see We Bought A Zoo.

Matt Damon stars in a true-life inspirational comedy about a single dad who acquires a menagerie!

Journalist Benjamin Mee (Matt Damon) is at a crossroads in his life. Still in mourning for his late wife, he's struggling to raise the couple's two children - teenager Dylan (Colin Ford) and cute seven-year-old Rosie (Maggie Elizabeth Jones). Seeking a change of scene, he decides to relocate his family to the country. He soon finds the perfect home, but there's one tiny detail the estate agent has neglected to share - it comes with its own run-down zoo attached! Even with the help of head keeper Kelly Foster (Scarlett Johansson), they're all on a steep learning curve when it comes to re-opening a zoo full of beasts that range from tigers to snakes. From 'Jerry Maguire' director Cameron Crowe, this lovely family comedy is based on the memoir of the real-life Benjamin Mee, who bought a zoo on Dartmoor.
