Leave your thoughts about We Bought a Zoo.
| eFilmCritic.comPeter SobczynskiThe end result is a film that is pretty much a total delight from top to bottom and even if you don't think that it is the kind that you might normally go for, it turns out that it really is. |
| WaffleMovies.comWillie WaffleSure, some if it may be a bit too cute for words, but the smile on your face will overcome the feelings of Bah Humbug that might be trying to sneak out of you. |
