We Bought a Zoo

After the death of his wife a young journalist tries to redefine the life that he and his children lead by moving. With the purchase of his new home comes along a few obstacles.  A Zoo.

This was sweet and cheery.  It was extremely predictable but still managed to develop the characters just enough that it doesn't become boring.

The real star of this flick is Maggie Elizabeth Jones, she plays Rosie, the daughter of Benjamin Mee (Matt Damon).  She steals every scene she is in.

The rest of the cast is mediocre, and really doesn't seem invested in the script. Nevertheless this isn't an amazing movie. Just something kind of sweet, and forgettable.
