We went to see "Water for Elephants" today. Who knew it was a circus movie? Not only that but it is a circus movie about circus people in the depression. Sounds like a real feel good movie. Right? It is a well acted movie about an uncommon subject with a love story on the side.
I really did enjoy the movie, but I kept thinking, "How can people live like this?" Looking back on it after the fact, my thoughts go to a favorite song from Todd Snider which has the line, "It's a circus out there Momma, and I've got the side show blues!"
Reese Witherspoon, Robert Pattinson and Christoph Waltz (Inglorious Basterds) star.
It is PG-13 for violence and elephant dung.
I give it **1/2 stars.
2011 movie #19
