Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

kumarankur-28152 Its an awesome movie and I like the Movie very much and Its Based on a True Story so Good work by the team and very nice.Like it Very much

Floated2 We Bought a Zoo is a family film which is about a man's quest of starting a new life after the loss of his wife, so in doing so, he decides to move and buy a house which in come with a zoo (though it is not fully functioning when he buys it, as he becomes the owner and must fix it and start it back up).This film does offer some solid acting from Matt Damon as the lead, but many of the other characters are unlikeable and forgettable, specially the son. The main problem with the film is that it isn't as interesting or unique given that it's about a zoo. Nothing much out the of ordinary happens and at times it is quite dull.The movie is also very predictable but dealing with a novel, it appears to be expected. As we know everything will work out in the end, we know the zoo will be back running in good shape, people will enjoy it, the father-son relationship will better itself and eventually Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson's characters fall for each other. It is also quite unrealistic as he seemed like he was able to smoothly pay for everything that appeared to be a problem with the zoo. The film didn't mention how Matt Damon had all that money, but living in a zoo, the price would be very expensive, and the film made it seem like a fantasy. They did show some scenes of problems but overall everything seemed a little far fetched and unrealistic. Overall, We Bouth a Zoo is a typical and somewhat dull family film which doesn't offer much, but is at worst quite average. Maybe more thugs would have happened which would have been unexpected.

noonoonomore It's a decent family movie unless you expect something out of ordinary in a family movie. I loved its kind-of unusual theme, with beautiful views and animals. Matt Damon is great, the kids are cute and Scarlett is gorgeous.For me it was a great way to lose myself into a fantasy tale, forgetting everything around me for 2 hours and enjoy the kind of life I always dream for myself, but can never get my hands on. The complications and the solutions might not seem real, but then again it's a family comedy with a touch of fantasy, not a drama or a documentary. So don't have your hopes high, that you will watch an incredibly accurate movie which will inspire you through every step of your life; and you will be fine.

tieman64 Cameron Crowe's "We Bought a Zoo" stars Matt Damon as a Benjamin Mee, a single father who purchases a dilapidated zoo. With the help of his son, daughter and a gang of likable eccentrics, Benjamin attempts to reopen the zoo ahead of a crushing deadline.Like most of Crowe's work, "Zoo" strains desperately to be cute, magical and cosy. The film bludgeons you with cutesiness, every inch sentimental to a fault. Crowe would cite Bill Forsyth's "Local Hero" as an influence on his picture, a superior film about a man on a similar mission. Scarlett Johansson co-stars as "Zoo's" obligatory love interest.6/10 – Worth one viewing.
