PRO REVIEWS
----------------------------------------
"Crowe has made wonderful films, but here the pieces go together too easily, the plot is too inevitable, and we feel little real energy between the players. It's pitched at a lower level of ambition (...) Rating**1/2 (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times) ----------------------------------------
"Povides a welcome seasonal dash of wholesomeness and humor, but it's also a heartening celebration of second acts, even at their most unwelcome (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Ann Hornaday: The Washington Post) ----------------------------------------
"'We Bought a Zoo' is as phony as a Kardashian marriage (...) Crowe has gone from 'Almost Famous' to nearly shameless" (Colin Covert: Minneapolis Star Tribune ) ----------------------------------------

(Lou Lumenick: New York Post) ----------------------------------------
"We Bought a Zoo is an odd bird, warm-blooded but largely lifeless" (Rob Nelson: Variety) ----------------------------------------
