Synopsis: A handsome veterinary student falls for a married circus performer in this romantic drama adapted from author Sara Gruen's best-selling novel, and directed by Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend). When Jacob (Robert Pattinson) meets Marlena (Reese Witherspoon), it's love at first sight -- their shared affections for an extraordinary elephant stirring profound feelings of compassion within both of them. Theirs is a love that could span lifetimes, though the wrath of Marlena's dangerously domineering husband, August (Christoph Waltz), threatens to spell tragedy for all involved.

    "Water for Elephants" is the best film I've seen this year. Superbly acted, perfectly written; a compelling story that will keep you interested throughout.

    I mean that Robert Pattinson… he was kind of monotone through this movie. There wasn't a lot of emotion. He wasn't really up like this and freaking out and he wasn't really down like this, but the whole time he about right here.

    I'm really excited to read the book now that I have seen the movie. The animals and actors in this movie were superb. I loved the cinematography- everything was beautiful.

    A terrific romance with fine performances and a Depression-era circus train for a home.

    Decent rendering of best-seller, even without one of the main characters.
