"My Family Bought the Zoo" tells the story of a typical family carnival. In order to strengthen the feeling of family, the screenwriter even nostalgicly added a family member to support each other and get out of emotion during the process of the zoo from being closed to reopening. The trail of the quagmire. But this clue is not really necessary, and the adaptation of the choreographer did not increase the dramatic effect. The emotional cues of the rebellious son and the warm father from confrontation to reconciliation are set too simple, and the key turning point is too blunt, making the originally interesting story lose its persuasiveness and become a plain story. What disappointed the audience was that in the process of Matt Damon bringing the zoo back to life, although a villain (inspector) was set up, the struggle between the two sides did not have the playful and humorous atmosphere of a Hollywood family movie.
