We bought a zoo

This is honestly one of the cutest movies I have ever seen that I watched with my family, starring Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson, Colin Ford, Maggie Elizabeth Jones and others, this movie came to theaters in 2011. This movie has earned 3 stars.

“We bought a zoo” is about a father of two that loses his wife to cancer, and is trying to get his life together again and help himself and his family move on by moving, and ends up buying a zoo, then realizes he was in for more than he thought.

This movie is of course emotional, because how could it not be as soon as someone says the word cancer everyone shutters. It is very hard to bring up or even speak of something that is real and affects so many lives, this movie shows the struggle of a single parent, the struggle of the father trying to stay strong for his children, and the children trying to move on from the death of their mom. Death is real and scary, so this will touch the heart of anyone who watches it.

The girl in this movie is absolutely adorable and she is such a great actor, she could be the only reason to fall in love with this movie. This movie also talks about how he fell in love with his wife, and one of the things that stuck out the most to me in this movie is when he said "You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you something great will come of it."because it is one of the best pieces of advice I have ever heard. 20 seconds could be all you need to make or break a situation.

This movie is so interesting because they bought a zoo and now they have to maintain it and reopen it, also the scenery is beautiful, it looks as if they live in the country.

This movie is a 9 out of 10 in my opinion.
