We Bought a Zoo is the story of a widowed writer (Matt Damon) who buys a zoo and tries to get it operational while dealing with conflict with his teenage son and the decision of whether or not to put an elderly tiger to sleep.
We Bought a Zoo is light-heated most of the time, serious some of the time. Although an interesting true story, the movie didn’t really grab hold of me.
RECOMMENDATION
We Bought a Zoo is decent, but not amazing. I put it right in line with IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes users.
We Bought a Zoo is rated 7.2/10 on IMDB and is 66% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.
