This is a heart-warming movie that is for the whole family. It's a true story about a man (Matt Damon) with a pre-teen daughter and a teenage son who lost their mother, and the father decides to buy an old zoo to bring some diversity and excitement into the children's lives. On the grounds are some very interesting people, headed up by the zookeeper (played by Scarlett Johansson). I hope Matt Damon plays more roles like this one, instead of shoot 'em up, bang bang—that mean nothing—because in this role he seems to play a character more like his true self: a really nice guy who does nice things for the right motives. Everyone will love this film who loves a human interest story with great characters. The little girl (played by Maggie Elizabeth Jones) was just charming. I'm glad I let my 14-year-old daughter talk me into watching this film. Director Cameron Crowe.
