Flummoxed just flummoxed how could anyone buy a zoo with no proper training and yet get running.

Imagine your house in a place full of wildlife and more wonderous things! This film will make you have a mixed feeling inside, you may cry or laugh or even imagine YOU are that person! Benjamin Mee(Matt Damon).

Benjamin Mee (Matt Damon) had a horrible experience by losing his unfortunate wife who is still in his heart, that makes the children sad for a 14-year-old and a 7-year-old. He is the one who wants to make a big change in the family by moving to a zoo full of animals Lions, Tigers you name it! But to reopen this zoo a lot of money is going to vanish from his pocket.
