We Bought a Zoo is a movie about a Quixotic attempt by a father to restore his family as they are dealing with the grief of losing his wife, and mother of his two children. To do this he buys a property, which happens to include a zoo. The zoo is previously condemned, and so it includes the efforts to overcome inspection, so they can reopen.
An enjoyable subplot is the relationship between the father (Matt Damon) and his son. The find a way to heal wounds in the son's art. The father uses one of his drawings of a lion to advertise the reopening of the zoo. Scarlett Johansson plays the game keeper. This movie was pretty fun--but the Tony scale wasn't that great. He had to go out at least three times during the movie, for a drink, for candy and for the potty. However I enjoyed the story, and the struggle to meet the dream of the new owner as well as the zoo staff.
