Buying a Zoo

To end this year at the movies, we went to see "We bought a Zoo!" It sounds like a kid movie and it is a family movie, but the story is for adults: It's about starting over, dealing with loss of a spouse, and getting in over your head. Normal everyday stuff. While the story is similar to Descendants at one level, it is not that deep. It is a good movie with a good story that is loosely based on a true story. Matt Damon is good in anything.

The previews that you may have seen, only deal with the beginning, a great story follows.

I give it ***stars. 2011 Movie #61.
