(Movie Review) Water for Elephants

So, the question of will R. PAT be ok after the Twilight franchise is answered. That answer is yes. But not because he is a great actor, or even a good actor, or even an actor at all, but more so because people will continue to throw parts at him until no one will pay to see him any longer. I say YAY for him. I will, however, say boooooooooo to Reese Witherspoon. She, once again, makes me dislike a movie just by being in it.

Storyline: A veterinary student abandons his studies after his parents are killed and joins a traveling circus as their vet. - FROM IMDB

Thoughts: The movie sets you up for a "tear jerker" at the ending and leaves you with nothing. There is a little bit of actual acting from the always wonderful Christoph Waltz, but the rest of the cast is trash. Witherspoon should have retired after Sweet Home Alabama or Walk the Line, because I cringe every time I see her name attached to a film these days. Pattinson is as flat as a piece of paper...but we already knew that. The only star that didn't disappoint was the elephant. Skip it.
