Water for Elephants (PG-13,
Drama, Romance) B+
Jacob (Robert Pattinson) is about to graduate from
Veterinary school when he gets some horrible news that changes his life.
As a result he ends up joining a circus where he falls in love with Marlena
(Reese Witherspoon) who is married to August (Christopher Waltz). August
owns the circus and runs it like a tyrant. This film was beautifully shot
and very well made. The chemistry between Marlena and Jacob could have been
better or more convincing. The story also focused too much on the economics
of the circus and how it was run. I was expecting more of a dedicated love
story.
