We Bought a Zoo (on DVD)

We Bought a Zoo
[DVD We]

Based on a true story of a family in ruins. After his wife dies and his son starts getting in trouble at school Benjamin Mee decides his family needs a change. In order to start over they house-shop and find one they love. The only problem is that it's a zoo. A shutdown fixer-upper zoo. So he buys the whole property, becoming the boss of the current zoo employees and takes it upon himself to fix it up and open it back up to the public. Very heart-warming story, it'll make you laugh, it'll make you cry. Matt Damon is pretty great in a serious role, it was interesting seeing him in something that wasn't action-oriented. -- recommended by Carrie K. - Bennett Martin Public Library
