- mysterymiaover 12 yearsThis is a great family movie that is touching at some points and has its funny parts as well. It shows to be caring and any body can make a change.Also it shows that your family will always be there for you so I recomend this movie for a family to watch together.

- ericarover 12 yearsI watched this movie just then it was soo good i loved this is going to be aded to my favourite movies and it was a true story!!!!!!!!!!ahhhhh
- I sort of liked this movie. I expected something big to happen but it was basicly about a family buying a run down zoo. It's a true story which make it cool to watch but it wasn't as good as other true story movies like Dolphin Tail and Soul Surfer. I liked that it had some really good actors like Elle Fanning, Matt Damon, Scarlet Johanson and other people. It's a good family movie, but you would not want to be the family it's about. It recommend it to people over the age of 7 or 8.
