Okay ... either I had way too many expectations from this movie ... or ... this movie is just another very average, simply over-hyped just another Hollywood flick. Quite frankly ... nothing impressive about this movie in terms of script, direction, editing, music, acting or what ever ... scores average in almost all departments. I wonder why this movie is being talked about so much. A love story between a young boy studying to be a vet has to abandon his studies after his parents death and just happens to jump on-board the circus wagon and love happens with Reese Witherspoon who plays the star attraction of the circus and is also the wife of the circus owner and manager ... there ... typical Bollywood masala movie script ... except the boring songs in foreign locales are missing. My take??? Skip if wanna skip this movie ... skip it ... however ... if your girlfriend or wife is insisting on watching this one ... wear a plastic smile and tell her you loved the movie ... guaranteed you will get sex on the bed ;-)

Beautifully mounted but lacking emotional depth, this epic-sized drama doesn't fly because there's barely any hint of longing, chemistry (read: passionada) between its leads, and because the romance itself takes forever to kick in. Worth a look purely for its immaculate period design.'Water for Elephants' is glossy and rich, but what's missing is the Soul.
