Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Supporting characters are too hastily sketched in, serving only to further the unsmooth course of true love.

Water for Elephants may not be the best show on earth, but it's still quite a show.

'Water for Elephants' has charm, and this more grown up role suits Pattinson more than the histrionics of last year's 'Remember Me'.

rotten:
The movie rather embarrassingly sells chastity in the midst of what feels like a lawless situation. It's handsomely mounted but timid.

rotten:
The great intangible of chemistry isn't present, making Water for Elephants seem longer and slower than one might hope.
