Sinopsis(1)
Benjamin Mee es un columnista de prensa y escritor de artículos de aventuras residente en Los Ángeles, que, como padre viudo, se enfrenta al desafío de criar a sus dos hijos pequeños. Con la esperanza de que partir de cero y llevar una nueva vida restablecerá el espíritu familiar, Mee deja su empleo y compra una vieja casa rural situada en un terreno de unas ocho hectáreas fuera de la ciudad que incluye una irrepetible particularidad añadida: un zoo denominado el Parque de Animales Rosemoor, residencia de docenas de animales encomendados al cuidado de la jefa de guardas Kelly Foster y su entusiasta equipo. Sin experiencia, con poco tiempo y reducidísimo presupuesto, Mee se propone, con el apoyo de su familia y de la gente de la localidad, reabrir el zoo. Ahora, Benjamin ya no cuenta una historia de aventuras, sino que vive la suya propia en la misma puerta de su casa. (20th Century Fox España)

Cameron Crowe ha dejado una marca indeleble en mí como mi película favorita de todos los tiempos, y eso solo empeorará cada vez más con cada película posterior. Al mismo tiempo, no comparo en absoluto, lo cual es absolutamente imposible incluso teniendo en cuenta el tema. Pero todas las demás películas son al menos un poco más débiles para mí, tal vez con la excepción de Jerry Maguire. Un lugar para soñar es una típica película americana con todo. Estaba preparado perdonarle todos los clichés y torpezas estadounidenses familiares y resaltar el poder de la historia, los aspectos conmovedores y la rígida actuación civil de Matt Damon. Un agradable espectáculo familiar que puede capturar más o menos el corazón de cada miembro de la familia. También obtuve una interesante visión biológica sobre la comparación de leones y tigres.

Today’s American genre movies apparently know only two extremes: either complete rejection of certainties and questioning of basic existential values or a safe escape into an idealised fairy-tale world. Cameron Crowe’s new film falls into the latter group with such irresistible guilelessness that I feel ashamed to criticise it for its naïveté. Since I ultimately didn’t get the good feeling that the film ceaselessly pushes on viewers, I’m not rating it higher, but in the same breath, I can recommend that you give We Bought a Zoo a chance, as it can be touching, depending on your state of mind at the moment. It’s solidly directed and offers tasteful humour, even when it comes to the animals. ___ Though the film doesn’t try to hide its affiliation with the Christmas family comedy category (American premiere date: 23 December), it also doesn’t manage to exploit it in any clever way. It is simply an intentionally nice film and nothing more. The type-casting of the characters is flawless; there is no risk that someone would deviate from the clearly defined course. Radical, though of course temporary, deviations are allowed either in the context of the acknowledged game (MacCready) or to confirm the absolute success of the main characters (Ferris). There are no negative characters that could be taken seriously. To be precise, the creepy inspector is a caricature like something out of a children’s book. Like the film’s cast of animals, he serves only for comic situations that alleviate the mourning for the dead wife and the search for a way back to people. The only effort at more sophisticated involvement of the ever-present animals in the central plot is the impassioned (even by the standards that the film sets) episode with the dying tiger. Otherwise, the animals only a) generate grotesque humour or b) try to convince us that it’s natural for them to be locked up in cages. Thomas Haden Church managed to make the most of his thankless role and, unlike Damon, he can deliver his great pearls of wisdom with a light sense of detached humour. The film otherwise falls desperately short. ___ The “fine” mood spiked with rising intensity towards the end (thanks especially to Elle Fanning) made me wonder if that was an intentional change of stylisation on Crowe’s part, resulting in a very clever practical joke. But probably not. 55%

A a barrage of positivity that relies on the typical trademarks that Cameron Crowe sprinkles into each of his films: strong characters that you can't help but sympathize with, some sparkle between main characters, a common goal to work towards, a dash of emotions and personal attitudes that need to be changed, all adding to one of the film of the year. Crowe hasn't overstretched himself this time around, and made a modest, intimate film that is emotionally transparent and relatable, even though it's actually woefully unoriginal and ordinary. But even fleshing out the characters and dialogue and adding a catchy soundtrack is quite a feat in a production like this. The last scene is awesome.

A film that's not afraid to deliberately move you, yet is perfectly optimistic and intentionally smiling with every thought and plot point. The whole group of teenagers, children, dedicated caretakers, and gazing animals could easily crumble into a meaningless family mess. But Cameron Crowe proves that he still has a firm hand in calming down turbulent emotions. A film for everyone. Literally.

I love it when filmmakers take a good and original true story and interpret it in an utterly beautiful and natural way that brings up a ton of emotions and by the end of the film it makes me feel truly amazing. Films like this are as scarce as grains for forest animals in the middle of desert. Well, that may be a stupid analogy. Simply there’s just very few of them. But still you can come across stories with happy endings that are worth watching. This one is really emotional, because it’s not only about a likable family, but also about the zoo, which instantly doubles the emotions. Matt Damon’s sincere expression throughout the whole film made me really happy. I wish there were more surprises like this and always something I could look forward to and be happy for others for a job well done.
