We Bought a Zoo(2011)- User Reviews

LOVED the movie, however I was disappointed in the swearing and Easter Bunny comments. I was THRILLED to have a good family movie to watch with my boys (ages 7 & 9) and I loved the story. But the amount of swearing made for several uncomfortable moments and took away from the overall message of the movie. Then I had to try and explain the Easter Bunny conversation, as well as both boys giggling and asking exactly what it meant to call someone a d*ck. It was totally unnecessary and I wish they had made a cleaner choice. That being said... I still loved the movie and am glad we all watched it.

OMG they say bad words in the movie! I cant watch it then cuzz my brain could be damaged by the devilish talk!

Jeez! Glad I read the reviews before taking my four year old to this ... it is at the cheap seat theater we go to a few times a month, and he desperately wanted to see it. I thought from the previews it was a comedy with a tiny bit of a dramatic storyline (loss of mom, bit off more than they could chew, etc.) ... now I'm reading that a small child says "dick" and a tiger gets put down? WHaaaa??? This was billed as a family movie all the way through ...

Swearing doesn't really bother me - but when it is done in a movie, sometimes the little guy thinks it is funny and will repeat it (especially when a kid does it) ... this instance likely wouldn't have mattered much to us though, since it sounds like we probably wouldn't have made it through the whole movie without my son getting bored (he's a little too young to understand the dramatic scenes).

i was very surprised at the swearing in the movie, they could have made it without the swearing.

Bad language? I don't recall anything that I even raised an eye at. I thought this was one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. Would highly recommend it to anyone. my 75 yr old mother loved it and my 12 yr old daughter loved it. Wonderful acting, and a GREAT storyline.

Based on a true story. Let's get real with life.

".i wanted to go to take the children...but cant...cuss words..and the Easter bunny/tooth fairy spoiler????"

I agree!! I took my kids, youngest is 7 years old. Afterwards I'm having to explain not to repeat these words, and it's really presented as a family movie. And the little girl in the movie saying "dick", totally unnecessary.

Well, first of all Matt Damon did not put a rating on this movie. He just made a movie from a good story. Secondly he probably wasn't trying to make a family move just a movie. Thirdly, kids hear bad language everyday. All you folks looking for a babysitter should stick to the Disney stuff. Let the rest of us enjoy a good movie without you're editorializing.

@stinger - what a tool! do you think anyone cares about your feelings toward Matt Damon. you say you wouldn't waste a dime, but you would waste your time to interject your moronic review and insipid comments for the entire world to see. well, aren't you important. the most important tool in the tool box.

sounds like a great movie lol!!!!!
