Although the source material is there, it feels vapid and stiff. In other words, the exact opposite of the novel.

Water for Elephants, directed by Francis Lawrence is an exciting story filled with love, deception, and lots of circus animals. The story follws Jacob (Robert Pattinson), a veterinary school student who, in an attempt to escape his past life, discovers circus life. Jacob is introduced to the circus' star act, Marlena (Reese Witherspoon) and they shared a bond over the circus' newest attraction, the elephant. The movie ends in excitement as Marlena's husband and circus owner, August (Christoph Waltz), becomes aware of Jacob and Marlena's relationship and seeks revenge. A "terrible accident" leaves a few dead, and ended the circus forever, but Jacob and Marlena's love prevails.

I was shocked at how good of movie this. I was surprised. Robert Pattinson does a good job of playing his character. He is not a great actor but I thought he was Ok. Witherspoon is great and Chris Waltz does well as usual. I loved the Circus history thrown in. Best movie of 2011 so far.
