Water For Elephants (out May 12) is set in 1931 and revolves around a young vet student (Pattinson) who joins a struggling circus and falls in love with its star attraction (Witherspoon). This film is comforting, easy to watch. The character development is a touch underdone (needed to know more about these people) and the ending is rushed but it's still decent. Grade: B+.
