Beautiful & Touching, Crowe does it again.

Cameron Crowe never fails to deliver hart warming drama-comedies thatmake you laugh, cry and keep you on the edge of your seat for durationof his films. For me personally, I never seem to agree with Crowe'scasting taste (Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson never do much for me)but Cameron has a way with actors and a true vision for his story. Healways seems to know exactly who can capture his characters andultimately draw out your emotions that he's tugging at. In We Bought a Zoo, there is a bit of a slow start and at one point Iwas worried Cameron had lowered his voice to appeal to a largeraudience to please producers and critics alike (after hisCritically-bombed but personal all time fav, Elizabethtown). But let me tell you, pay your dues with the first half of this filmbecause the second half will take you on a mesmerizing cinematicadventure you'll be heartbroken for more. Cameron ventures into a newfamily drama without compromising his voice, music taste or qualityfilm making. And if you are still not a huge CC fan, the animals aresure to win you over. Their beautiful and natural moments on screen areas breath taking as they are tear-jerking.Spend an amazing two hours with this film and there won't be a personin your household that won't agree that this film is one to remember.From a fan and living-room-critic, I give it two thumbs up :)
