We Bought a Zoo (2011 Cameron Crowe & co-scr)

This feels and sounds so much like a Cameron Crowe screenplay that I'd love to see Aileen Brosh McKenna's original to see just how different it is. ('Ben. Jamin.')

This is a wonderful corrective to the preceding John Hughes film.

It grossed $120m, so I hope it was one of Cameron's box office successes.

'How do you send someone home for moodiness?'
'I dunno - it's a sensitive school.'

Hadn't really twigged that in letting the tiger go, he's doing the same for his wife. It's Cameron's most emotional film.
