We bought tickets to a crappy movie, and boy do we regret it!

User review rating: 5 August 01, 2014

Nice movie, I like the challenge that main actor had to be a good dad. Good job and sweet to go see with girlfriend.

User review rating: 5 January 31, 2013

Such an adorable movie. I am an animal lover, and one of my favourite things to do in the summer is visit the zoo! The little girl is also the cutest little thing!

User review rating: 3 March 16, 2012

quite an interesting movie based on a true story. i don't think i could have endured handling a 'zoo' as a home. i enjoyed it.

User review rating: 4 February 10, 2012

would make a great double-bill with kevin james' zookeeper.

i did not expect to cry and laugh and be inspired, but i was. it had all the ingredients to make a cheeseball movie. what we got was a classic. well done.

User review rating: 4 January 16, 2012

great. took my 10 year old - loved it.

User review rating: 0 January 15, 2012

Extremely well done. Having lost my husband recently, I identified with all the movie had to say about starting life anew. Very realistic, as well as inspirational for both spouses and children who have lost loved ones. Annette

Best movie this year by far. Academy award winner! I cried and laughed at the same time.

beatuifal movie

User review rating: 1 January 10, 2012

I give it 1 star, only because you can't give it 0 stars. It was very long and it dragged on. I felt it was way to predictable. I could have eaten a box of Alphabets and crapped a better movie.

User review rating: 5 January 10, 2012

This was one of the best movies I have seen in many years. Every actor in this one should be very proud of the job they did!! If I had 10 thumbs...they would all be up!!!

User review rating: 4 January 09, 2012

Very enjoyable movie. A different role for Matt Damon, but he did a great job. I recommend you take the whole family to this one - you will not be disappointed.

emotional & very entertaining

User review rating: 5 January 08, 2012

Loved it! i didn't think it would have so much about his dead wife, and more happier moments with the animals and kids - but it made me cry and I loved Scarlett.

User review rating: 5 January 08, 2012

I loved this movie! It is sad but also funny and heartwarming. Gorgeous animals and wonderful story.

Really nice to have an enjoyable movie that is not violent. Lets here it for family movies!

User review rating: 0 January 06, 2012

Loved this, true to life, movie, both with the handling of grieving, and hope restored, and the wisdom of the father. Great to see!

User review rating: 0 January 06, 2012

We all know violence is entertaining. Non-violent movies are also entertaining.

A fun Cameron Crowe flick

User review rating: 4 January 02, 2012

family entertainment with great acting from Matt Damon who deserves an Oscar nomination for his performance--great acting from all the cast--including the youngsters

User review rating: 3 January 02, 2012

User review rating: 5 January 01, 2012

Matt Damon was fantastic in this movie! Great movie for the whole family.

User review rating: 4 January 01, 2012

This movie was entertaining. The Matt Damon and his children in the movie played their roles very well and gave hope that even after life's tragedys life can go on with happiness. Not really recommended for small children. My 4 year old nephew was somewhat bored.

User review rating: 4 January 01, 2012

User review rating: 5 December 30, 2011

What a fabulous movie! Took the family and we all loved it, luckily the sensitive situations regarding the death of the main character's wife went over their heads a little (and the Easter Bunny gets outed!) great story though.

User review rating: 0 December 30, 2011

Love this movie...Matt Damon is sooo good you're probably end up clapping at the end of the movie.

User review rating: 5 December 29, 2011

Another great performance by Matt Damon. This movie is a wonderful, warm family film. Saving animals is always a good cause and the best thing to do under any circumstances

User review rating: 4 December 29, 2011

A touching story for the entire family!
