An unfortunate title for a film that looks quite charming.

We Bought a Zoo

Plot Summary: A father moves his family into a new home that was part of a delapidated zoo and all the animals are still there.
Release Date: December 23, 2011

Poster

Trailer

Rating: C+
Commentary: Although it’s a pleasant, pastoral image, it’s not a terribly evocative image and plays itself too conservatively.
Rating: A-
Commentary: The trailer has elements that are fairly formulaic, but you can’t help but be charmed by Damon, his castmembers and the adorable animals he works hard to protect.

Oscar Chances: It’s hard to say right now. This looks like it could be a crowd-pleaser, which often translates into Oscar consideration when the subject is directed by a noted director (it is, Cameron Crowe) and has a strong, all-star cast. It could do really well if critics fall for it.
