Arizona Republic -
Damon can elevate just about anything in which he appears.

Entertainment Weekly -
The movie is like Doctor Dolittle remade as a therapeutic sudser. By the end, it got to me.

Observer -
We Bought a Zoo has more soul than substance, but I'll be darned if it didn't put a smile on my face and keep it there.

ReelViews -
Heartfelt but safe. The missing element is the edgy irrelevance that elevated Crowe's best directorial efforts - "Say Anything," "Jerry Maguire," and "Almost Famous" - above their generic counterparts.

The Hollywood Reporter -
Arguably the director's least typical film, it doesn't dodge the potholes of earnest sentimentality and at times overplays the whimsy. But the uplifting tale has heart, humanity and a warmly empathetic central performance from Matt Damon.
