Long description

When Jacob Jankowski, recently orphaned and suddenly adrift, jumps onto a passing train, he enters a world of freaks, drifters, and misfits, a second-rate circus struggling to survive during the Great Depression, making one-night stands in town after endless town. A veterinary student who almost earned his degree, Jacob is put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It is there that he meets Marlena, the beautiful young star of the equestrian act, who is married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. He also meets Rosie, an elephant who seems untrainable until he discovers a way to reach her. Water for Elephants is illuminated by a wonderful sense of time and place. It tells a story of a love between two people that overcomes incredible odds in a world in which even love is a luxury that few can afford.

From previous reviews I had read I did not anticipate much from the movie, but it was really one of those that you struggle to watch until the end. Unless you really have time on your hands, and nothing better to watch, I would not recommend this movie.

  Water For Elephants review
Reviewed by Michelle Evert from Gordon's Bay on 06 March 2012
1 of 12 people found the following review helpful:

Water For Elephants had the potential to be a sweeping and memorable romantic drama, but unfortunately it just doesn't achieve that goal. To blame for this, is a complete and utter lack of chemistry between the two leads - Robert Pattinson, and his much older co-star, Reese Witherspoon. A viewer just cannot connect emotionally with a love story between the characters of two actors who look like they'd much rather be doing something else, than spending time on screen with each other. This renders the film inescapably flat. And on another sour note, if you're an animal lover you'll definitely find some scenes disturbing - more so if you're aware that the real-life trainers of Tai the elephant were accused of cruelty to the large 4-legged star.
