Benjamin Mee (Matt Damon) is a single parent, journalist and widow. While attempting to balance school lunches, fight off single moms and deal with a lousy editor, Mee spontaneously quits his job. Instead of worrying about how to pay bills and get by raising his 14-year old son and 7-year old daughter, he buys an old house in the countryside with amenities like lions, tigers and bears.  His zookeeper, Kelly (Scarlett Johansson) is often his saving grace.  We Bought a Zoo highlights the fact that a small amount of courage and a lot of love can get people through any number of tough situations.
How do you support a loved one in tough times?
