A 2011 Cameron Crowe movie in which Creator/MattDamon [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin buys a zoo]]. Loosely based on the memoir of Benjamin Mee, a widower and his two kids buy 18 acres of property that used to be a fully functioning zoo. He inspires the remaining staff of the zoo, as well as his kids, to put it back together to have it approved by an inspector so it can once again attract customers. TearJerker family moments and funny animal hijinks ensue.

* ContinuitySnarl: After seeing the zoo for the first time, Benjamin says that it is February. The calendar in the beginning looks like it could be the February 2011 calendar. House listings even have the date January 3, 2011, and a bank statement ends with the date November 2010. So it should be 2011, right? But then a sign says that [[spoiler: Spar, who dies by the end, died]] in 2010. A weather reporter even says that it is July 6, 2010. To make matters worse, the June and July calendars shown do not make sense unless it is 2007, the year in which the story on which this is based really took place.

* AvoidTheDreadedGRating: The film has three uses of "shit", two uses of "asshole" and one use of "dick" (the last of which is said by a 7-year-old) to try and bump the rating up to PG-13. However, it didn't work, and the film got a PG rating instead.
