"we bought a zoo!"

I wanted to blog about this because I just re-watched it last night. "We bought a zoo" was probably my favorite movie I saw this year.
You know how sometimes you just really want to watch a great movie...something new, with ups and downs and fantastic music? This was that movie. Plus it's based on a true story. Bonus.

The preview made it seem boring, (don't judge it by that! in fact...don't even watch one.) so I really didn't care to see it, but I heard from a couple people that it was great. We watched it like, 6 months ago and I really really liked it, and what struck me was how great the soundtrack was. Perfectly timed, just wonderfully done. I'm actually not one for noticing music so much in a movie, but this one has a superb setlist.
Tom Petty, Cat Stevens, Temple of the Dog, Jónsi, Neil Young's "cinnamon girl"... wonderful, the whole way through. 
Has anyone else watched this? I feel like it kind of got skipped over. Anyway, the movie is great, and the little girl is the cutest thing you've ever seen.
