Water for Elephants is a classic circus film, but of a minor circus struggling to keep going. It has Reese Witherspoon, the star of the circus who performs with an elephant, and Robert Pattinson, from the Twilight series and the company veterinarian . They have a love affair, even though Witherspoon is married. Her husband is the antagonist who abuses the animals, has circus performers or staff thrown off the train when he can't pay them. Sometimes this results in death. The climax is when some who have been thrown off, catch up with the circus and let the animals out. The elephant ends up killing the circus boss, who is killing his wife. This leaves his wife free to marry and to run of to Ringling Brothers and raise a family. This movie does have general appeal and I mildly recommend it. May may have too much violence, abuse and sexualized scenes for children. It is rated PG-13.
