Did you people see the same film I saw?

As Good As It Gets

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Its an awesome movie and I like the Movie very much and Its Based on a True Story so Good work by the team and very nice.Like it Very much

It may be a good film but the zoo this is based on had a previous owner and the new owners wanted vacant possession of the attached properties that the zoo staff stayed in. Lets just say that the new owner wouldn't have bought the zoo if the staff didn't move out and the old owner allegedly was threatening to blackmail them to moving out and kill the animals if the sale fell through. Please be aware this 'intrerpretation' is made as rosy as possible.

It's a decent family movie unless you expect something out of ordinary in a family movie. I loved its kind-of unusual theme, with beautiful views and animals. Matt Damon is great, the kids are cute and Scarlett is gorgeous.For me it was a great way to lose myself into a fantasy tale, forgetting everything around me for 2 hours and enjoy the kind of life I always dream for myself, but can never get my hands on. The complications and the solutions might not seem real, but then again it's a family comedy with a touch of fantasy, not a drama or a documentary. So don't have your hopes high, that you will watch an incredibly accurate movie which will inspire you through every step of your life; and you will be fine.

The best family movie in years!When I first saw the trailer I thought, "Here we are, more proof that Hollywood is out of new ideas!". It honestly looked silly and rushed, to me. However, it happened to be on a day when I was working on a book, and I thought, "Why not ?". So, I gave it a chance.A widower who is left to raise his two children is determined to move on, peruse his dream, and make a life better for his family. In search of a new house, he finds the perfect one in the country that he is ready to purchase. So? you may ask. Well, this is no normal house as there is a zoo on the property! Even though it failed in the past, he is driven to make it work this time with the faithful staff and his family. Why? Because his little daughter Rosie has that same dream...an adventure. With many side stories, and drama along the way, this family and their new friends give it everything they have. This movie is full of lions and tigers and bears...oh my! Plenty of heart warming lessons and humorous events come along with them.Why I liked it-Well, I am no fan of Scarlett Johannson's but this performance was great! What made it different and so enjoyable was the fact that when a family pulls together, anything can happen. The principles of self determination, hard work, and yes a hint of less government prevail and save the day. This was uplifting, fun and inspiring.The chemistry of the cast was excellent. Little Rosie was perfect and added so much to the story and the intrigue of the plot. Please see my whole review at http://hubpages.com/entertainment/We-Bought-A-Zoo-The- New-Zoo-Review.
