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.

I definitely agree with you when you rated this movie a 9 out of ten, I really enjoy Matt Damons performance in this movie and thought it was a really good family movie. The plot line was really good and was overall a feel good movie. I look forward to the next movie you chose to talk about!
ReplyDeleteThanks Al, I agree with you there is alot of meaning in this movie. I am glad you enjoyed it. Definitely a tear jerker, and I love Matt Damon he is one of the best actors of this generation :)
DeleteFinally you do a somewhat decent movie. I only say this cause of the 20 second quote, that's the only redeeming part of this movie. If that one quote wasn't in here I wouldn't even give it three stars let alone a 9 out of 10. Please start with the good movies, were halfway through your blogs and I haven't even seen a half decent movie. The way you write it is ok though, just do it about a good movie, if you need help finding good ones just ask (cause obviously you can't).
ReplyDeleteIt takes someone with an open mind, to actually grasp all concepts of this movie, if you only found that the quote was redeeming, well at least you gained something from watching it. To me these are the "good movies", obviously my taste in what is a good movie or not is different than yours. If you are really so keen on me writing about a good movie please suggest one and I might consider it. Thank you for your opinion :)
DeleteI love your blog post so much Mikayla, I like how you gave your own rate on the movie and your opinion too. I also like, how you explain what happens in the movies. I like your blog so much and I can't wait to see your next post.:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachelle, I am glad you are enjoying it so far! If there is any suggestions on how I can make it better or more interesting, feel free to let me know. I am glad that you like the way I am doing things so far :)
ReplyDeleteFun Blog about something most of us just love! My wife convinced me to see 'We bought a zoo' and I must admit that I loved it.Very emotional and very real. The realtionship between the dad and the son really got to me. :')
ReplyDelete- Your intro is a touch too short.
– Some posts are vague at times. Tell us the specific details that you loved or hated.
- Awkward phrasing (They’re are…. shutters vs shudders, etc.) + run-ons.
- Good media, but some pictures are posted for the wrong movies.
Can't wait to see some more of your movie reviews. What's the latest movie you saw and was it any good?
Wow Mikayla! This is the first time I heard of this movie but to your fascinating description, it sounds amazing. I really might watch this movie when I have the time. It looks like a must watch movie. Love between a family is bigger than any other love on earth.
ReplyDeleteI highly suggest watching it if you ever get a chance, there are so many inspiring things in this movie. It opened my eyes to different ways of seeing life. Matt Damon is such a great actor if you get the time I suggest to watch any of his movies!
