I really enjoyed this movie. The characters and story line were well developed.
While the overarching story is entertaining, the movie also does a wonderful job of bringing out the struggles of a recent widower and his family. From father/son issues to death and dying and moving through it all. This movie has many heart moments in it that will be sure to touch you.
The acting is very well done, which I've come to expect from Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson. Elle Fanning and Colin Ford have wonderful screen chemistry. Maggie Elizabeth Jones is the cutest and wisest little girl I've ever seen.
I left this movie ready to take a road trip to California to visit the real zoo. A little research later, I found that the real zoo is in England. I hope to one day be able to visit the Mee's.
