Review: Water for Elephants

Now don't get confused...this review is for the movie, which Hollie and I saw a couple Saturday's ago. It somehow just recently occurred to me that I should review it...sooo...

Since it has been a couple weeks since I saw it, and I didn't take notes (that's right, I try to take notes for you guys) I don't have all the details. I can tell you that it was really super good though.

I usually have trouble picking favorites. Like, I don't have a favorite book, or color, or movie. But this movie made me realize that between Twilight and Remember Me and Water for Elephants, Robert Pattinson is officially my new favorite actor. He was great in the movie, and so was everyone else. I was really impressed how well everyone played there part. Usually when I watch a movie after I've read the book, I'll go "Well, this character's not supposed to be like that," or "He doesn't have that kind of and attitude in the book." These actors and actresses hit is spot on though.

The storyline is amazing. Basically, it's about a young man who's parents die so he hops on a train one night, and it happens to be the Benzini Bros. Circus. The movie followed the book pretty well. Hollie thought it was somewhat violent. It didn't think it was too bad, but maybe that's because I knew what was coming from the book.

So, if you haven't read the book OR seen the movie, I definitely recommend both. I think I'm going to have to buy this one folks.
