Reviews

Chicago Tribune -
Like "The Notebook," but with an elephant, the unexpectedly good film version of Water for Elephants elevates pure corn to a completely satisfying realm of romantic melodrama.

Tampa Bay Times -
Reese Witherspoon can do a lot of things as an actor but playing a damaged-goods Depression era dame isn't one of them.
|
|
Miami Herald -
"Twilight's" Robert Pattinson gets a chance to shed his sparkly vampire persona and play a romantic lead with a pulse. The change suits him.
|
|
Philadelphia Inquirer -
Steamy and sexy with a smack of sadism, the movie is a throwback to old-school Hollywood action/romance.
|
|
Boxoffice Magazine -
Waltz is the highlight of this glossy but plodding drama, a live wire in a movie that sorely needs a jolt.
