I soloed to WE BOUGHT A ZOO while Abe saw MISSION IMPOSSIBLE at the Westgate. Perfectly intelligent choices when you're married 29 years. And the timing coincided perfectly!
I loved the ZOO film. A widower is left with a 14y.o. son and a 7y.o. daughter and all three are grief stricken in the most realistic and true to life portrayal of a family. Like THE DESCENDANTS. Imperfect parent, imperfect kid. Just like life. This film is heartwarming, oh yes formulaic, but inspiring and a pleasure to watch. Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson are fine actors as always, and that 7 y.o. Maggie Elizabeth Jones is absolutely breathtaking and adorable.!! I'm glad I saw this film at this time of year. It portrayed a family authentically, with clashes, stresses, and yelling! Not like what's portrayed on TV ads this time of year.
Abe said MISSION IMPOSSIBLE was fun, a good action film! Tom Cruise is older but good.
The weather is perfect, Austin is beautiful. I'm happy we're here.
