Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

We Bought A Zoo (out Dec 26) is summed up by the title - a single father and his two kids buy a zoo and try to restart their lives. There are a few nice scenes where characters interact (e.g. father & son) but for the most part, the film treats the audience like an idiot. It may be based on a true story but so many elements, including the ending, felt fake. Grade: C+.
