We Bought a Zoo

“A true zoo story.”

Why would a man with a grieving son and a grieving daughter buy a rundown zoo on 33 acres? Benjamin Mee (Matt Damon) has lost his wife, and the house with the animals is how he means to start over. His daughter Rosie (Maggie Elizabeth Jones) is thrilled, his son Dylan (Colin Ford) is not, and Cameron Crowe keeps the camera on the family and the keepers, with the animals close by.
