Crowe made a movie about a zoo
8 May 2013
Cameron Crowe is a good director. Even a ridiculous plot like the one we get served here, is handled with great care. Of course he knows that you have to make it as light as possible and make fun of yourself too. Matt Damon is a good choice as a main actor. I like Scarlett too, but she's too obvious and the chemistry isn't perfect. It does build throughout the movie and she also spells out why she doesn't live another life, but it's all too shallow.

There is also a scene, where Scarlett does a really good speech with a question towards Matt Damons character. Unfortunately the scene is not being resolved properly. Mood changes are a bit too sudden too and the story is filled with cliché. Nonetheless, the movie has a lot of heart and it's obvious that the actors had a lot of fun making it. A decent little movie, that will spark more with certain people than others. It's fun, it's light, if that floats your boat, go ahead and watch it
