Ashlyn, Danny and I just got back from watching We Bought A Zoo. Go. Your heart and soul will thank you. Matt Damon is charming. Thomas Haden Church is the right kind of sarcastic. The daughter is adorable, the son is moody, the tiger is quite amazing.
It is one of those movies that entertains and touches and makes me think about the choices I make and the choices I choose not to make. I have never had twenty seconds of insane courage. I don't know that I ever will, but I have certainly had courage and insanity. Maybe that is what I identified with.
Or maybe it was the ragtag group of zoo workers. I like ragtag groups. I definitely have been ragtag.
Or maybe it was the relationships that were trying. Trying to start, trying to fix themselves, trying to change. I am always trying in a relationship and sometimes I try at the relationship (insert rimshot here).
Or maybe it was all those things thrown together in this movie like they are in life. Insane ragtag relationships that require courage and faith and money. Ah, that is it. And that is what my life and hopefully your life is like.
So, see this movie. I recommend it on the big screen because there are close up shots of lions and tigers and bears. Oh, my they look so amazing on the big screen. If you wait to see it at home, devote yourself to it. Put down your phone or laptop, snuggle in and really engage yourself with this movie. I promise you, it will be worth it.
