'We Bought a Zoo'

Based loosely on a true story, "We Bought a Zoo" looks like the best kind of feel-good movie -- one that doesn't sacrifice real emotions (and a sense of humor) for sappy, upbeat messages. Matt Damon plays a widower with two kids who, in attempt to give himself and them a fresh start, buys a house that's attached to a wildlife park -- despite not knowing anything about caring for animals. Director Cameron Crowe is due for another great movie, and we have high hopes this will be it.

Release date: Dec. 23
