Water for Elephants reviews

Water for Elephants holds a 6.9/10 average from 2,666 TMDB ratings.

The chemistry between Witherspoon and Pattinson doesn't really work but the simple "man meets a woman" story works and Waltz nails his character as usual. This movie was a nice surprise.
— Andres Gomez (7/10)

In this captivating Depression-era melodrama, impetuous veterinary student Jacob Jankowski joins a celebrated circus as an animal caretaker but faces a wrenching dilemma when he's transfixed by angelic married performer Marlena.
