"We Bought a Zoo"

I just finished watching this movie on HBO. One of the better movies I have seen in awhile.

Will make you laugh, will make you cry, but most of all it's a heart warming story.

I can recommend it as a nice story, entertaining, heart warming!

It seemed odd that Matt Damon starred but it was a refreshing role for him, IMHO.

I couldn't believe how snide and cynical some critics were towards this film. Saying things like "sickeningly sweet". One critic said it was so sweet it might give you Diabetes. Fu*k them.

Great family film. I Loved It.
