Kym Whitley Cashier as Cashier. Gail Levin Casting. View All Critic Reviews Mar 05, Predictable, cliched, lazy, and melodramatic. Marcus W Super Reviewer. Jul 04, Cameron Crowe aims for the Disney audience with this obvious-as-a-grammar school play crowd pleasing story about a single dad trying to raise his coming of age difficult children. I've actually given the whole film away by now except for the cute animal instagrams spread throughout. It was interesting to see Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson cover more down to earth material than the fantasy that is so prevalent nowadays, and both actors seem to warm to the presentation as well.

One aspect Crowe nails is how aggravating teens are to everyone, quite without the artifice of most productions. Kevin M. W Super Reviewer. Apr 22, This film is almost too sweet and some will find it too much to deal with. All of the cliches are here; based on a true story; dead wife; cute kid; moody teenager; cute animals; incredibly attractive zoo keeper and Matt Damon. However despite these seeming disadvantages Crowe manages to produce something that still brings a tear to your eye and a lump in your throat.

Those of you who are cynical will turn their nose up at the film but if you're in the mood for a genuine feelgood experience then you can't go far wrong with this. It's no 'Jerry Maguire' but Damon is on top form and the whole thing looks great.

Also got a killer soundtrack. David S Super Reviewer. Jan 19, I can't help it. I like Matt Damon. This true story about a single dad and a fresh start is likeable, even though it's kind of cobbled together. Juli R Super Reviewer.
