So, basically, this was cute. Nothing too much more to it. I mean, it is an inspirational true story about a guy who bought a zoo. Which is pretty cool. Matt Damon was very good, Scarlett Johansson was also very good.

I will say Maggie Elizabeth Jones, who plays Rosie, the young daughter, is perhaps the most adorable child actress I have seen in a long time. I loved her, she had some of the best moments in the whole movie, and she is like eight.

The story itself is very inspirational, I will say, I choked up near the end, and is entertaining enough to watch once with the family.
