WE BOUGHT A ZOO

OMG WHAT AN AWESOME MOVIE THIS IS! The movie is based on a true story and centers on Benjamin Mee (Matt Damon), a recently widowed father struggling to raise a teenage son, named Dylan (Colin Ford) and a young daughter named Rosie (Maggie Elizabeth Jones). Looking for a fresh start, Benjamin begins looking for a new house and finds the perfect one. However, he soon discovers it has a catch, the house is a defunct zoo.

Although We bought a zoo might not be the most thrilling, suspenseful movie, and it may not be a laugh-fest, but it's just the tonic for days when you feel hopeless about the world and, yup, about modern day movies. The movie's genius lies in the many human interactions and how they develop as the movie progresses.

Every character in the movie was played by, in my opinion, the perfect actor/actress. The performance of Matt Damon stood out the most for me, the scenes where he had interactions with his son were brilliantly portrayed, with some leaving me teary-eyed.

If you are looking for a movie that will have your emotions running high or just something to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, then this is a move you definitely don't want to miss!
