      This movie was really good. It was cool to see how zoos actually work, and how much money it costs to maintain one. It was also cool that it was based on a true story.

            This is a great family movie that is touching at some points and has its funny parts as well. It shows to be caring and any body can make a change.Also it shows that your family will always be there for you so I recomend this movie for a family to watch together.

                  I sort of liked this movie. I expected something big to happen but it was basicly about a family buying a run down zoo. It's a true story which make it cool to watch but it wasn't as good as other true story movies like Dolphin Tail and Soul Surfer. I liked that it had some really good actors like Elle Fanning, Matt Damon, Scarlet Johanson and other people. It's a good family movie, but you would not want to be the family it's about. It recommend it to people over the age of 7 or 8.
