The film is described as "a funny, inspiring and true story about the magical power of family to persevere in the face of extraordinary challenges. This is acclaimed filmmaker Cameron Crowe's (Jerry Maguire) first motion picture for all audiences, and stars Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson and Thomas Haden Church. Damon portrays a single dad who, looking to give his family a much needed fresh start, moves to a home situated in the middle of a zoo, which he and his two children will attempt to bring back to its once glorious state. The film weaves together warmth, laughter and a spirit of optimism and is perfect to get together for"
Five lucky MN bloggers and their friends (and some lucky ladies from MNHQ) went to see an exclusive screening of "We Bought A Zoo" at the 20th Century Fox' offices in London.

TheOtherHelenMumsnet says "I was really surprised by this film - I was expecting a nice little film about a zoo but was completely unprepared for how emotional it is - I hadn't taken a single tissue with me but cried like a baby all the way through! (in a good way though!)"
