The best ticket to the zoo you could ask for!
10 December 2011
Thank you Cameron Crowe for sharing this amazing story with us. Like you did with Almost Famous, you found an artful and personal way to spin a multi-layered narrative in a visually stunning, yet subtle and approachable fashion. Matt Damon is perfectly cast as the father, securing his rank as the most reliable (and relatable) leading man in Hollywood over the past 15 years. Add to that a throng of amazing child actors, a soundtrack that is still buzzing in my head, and a screenplay which echoes equal parts tenderness, hilarity and truth, and you have my favorite film so far this year. We Bought a Zoo is a movie all audiences will enjoy, though some younger audiences may have to cover their ears for some curse words.

Finally, thank you Fox for your series of sneak previews - you wanted the buzz? Well, the buzz is coming! GO SEE THIS MOVIE!
