Water for Elephants (2011): A veterinary student abandons his studies after his parents are killed and joins a traveling circus as their vet. (6.9)
Director: Francis Lawrence
Writers: Richard LaGravenese (screenplay), Sara Gruen (novel)
Stars: Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz
A quaint story about running away with the circus, but the actors kept reminding me that they are really acting ... that's not good. The cinematography is good; it is filmed to look like a period movie. But the story provides lots of good opportunities with the train and the circus but they aren't using it enough, IMHO. I did enjoy the stuff they had on screen, but it could have been better. My Rating: 6.0
