Did You Know?
Trivia | When Matt Damon's character climbs over the tree, the real Benjamin Mee, Milo Mee (Dylan in the movie), and Ella Mee (Rosie in the movie) can be seen as the first family in line. In the scene, Benjamin Mee is wearing what appears to be a Dartmoor Zoological Park cap, the actual zoo in England on which the movie is based. See more » |
Goofs | The zoo opens on July 7, 2010 but when we see Benjamin Mee holding papers in the car when they go house hunting, in all the papers of the house listings, the date is Jan 3,2011. See more » |
