WATER FOR ELEPHANTS (2011) D

This movie is a bona fide chick-flick. Predicable romantic mush. Acting and script . . . two dimensional, plausibility zero. 1931, guy quits veterinary school, walks the rails , meets a circus train, evil owner, abused wife, etc. etc.

From the NY Post:
"THE LAMEST SHOW ON EARTH"
Usually, you have to wait for the end-of-the-year awards season to see an elaborate period piece that fails as spectacularly as Water for Elephants.
This clunky, plodding, romantic circus melodrama showcases the improbable, less-than-scintillating triangle of Reese Witherspoon, etc., etc."
