Pros: very good audio and video transfers; nice selection of bonus features
Cons: synthetic love story at the heart of the movie spoils the rest of the film.

A depression-era romantic drama, Francis Lawrence’s Water for Elephants gets the period details just about perfect and bungles badly with its most important attribute: its love story. An anemic pairing of two stars that produces no fireworks and at times is almost tedious to watch, the personal drama between two fated-to-be-mated souls suffers from significant miscasting. In every other respect, however, the movie has much to offer. Too bad its central tenet is so fundamentally misguided and uninteresting.
