This one's probably not going to wind up on too many "Best Of" lists because, well, it’s about a family that buys a zoo, and that’s corny. (And, yes, this is a corny movie.) But everyone in this movie is just so darn nice -- so much so that it’s nearly impossible not to be won over by a slightly pudgy Matt Damon trying to do something nice for, well, everyone. (There's also a very tall Patrick Fugit is in this movie, which is also nice.) Damon plays Benjamin Mee, who -- after the passing of his wife -- buys a partially deserted zoo in an effort to (A) help his troubled family and (B) help the zoo. Yes, this film is sap. But at least it’s tasty sap with an excellent soundtrack. -- M.R.
