Amusing.

Warning: Spoilers
Jacob(Robert Pattinson) a promising Vet student, on the verge of graduation, is hit with a terrible tragedy, his parents are killed in a car crash. Is quickly left with nothing. Runsaway, and hops on a train, only to find out it's a traveling circus led by August(Chrstoph Waltz), agrees to stay on has the vet, but what happens when Jacob gets feelings Augusts wife(Reese Witherspoon)?

The Look and scenery was nice. And Christoph Waltz performance was captivating, I know he won't be missed by the Oscars. But in some scenes He got upstaged by the elephant. Robert Pattinson(who looks like James Dean and Leonardo Dicaprio mixed together) performance has Jacob, was alright, not good, but not bad, not quite has good as Waltz. Reese Witherspoon I felt was not giving much to do with her character. And she and Pattinson have good chemistry, but they don't connect as much has they should have. All in all an alright film.
