We Bought A Zoo

Perhaps this film’s poster, and it’s title therein, evokes in your mind images of animals being gross, crazy and charming for a series of increasingly cheap gags – images akin to say those in Kevin James’s “The Zookeeper“, for those unfortunate enough to be able to imagine that film – that assumption actually couldn’t be further from the truth and were this film but a little bit further from “The Zookeeper” then it may well have been one of the year’s best; instead though it’s just underrated, perhaps because of the poster, and the title therein.
