WATER FOR ELEPHANTS movie review


This colourful romantic melodrama gives the brooding Robert Pattinson a break from his customary vampire roles as that traditional figure. In this case, Rob is a veterinary student who had to drop out of college after his parents' deaths and finds himself working in a second-rate travelling circus. He's appointed resident vet and elephant handler by the menacingly Bossy boss who toys with him sadistically. He falls for the boss's young, dissatisfied wife (Reece Witherspoon). No circus films ends without a spectacular scene in which the animals are let loose, the train crashes or the big top catches fire, and this one is neither an exception or exceptional.
