Water for Elephants - The Movie

Friday evening Joel & I went to see Water for Elephants in theaters.  I was pleasantly surprised at how well the movie mimicked the book, in my opinion.  I think that Reese and Edward (I know it's Robert, but he'll always be Edward to me) did a great job portraying Marlena and Jacob.  Scenes that were particularly hard to watch were the beatings of Rosie (the elephant) and Marlena and just generally watching August act they way he did.  There are very few times when I feel a movie does a book justice, and this time the movie producers prevailed!
