Apparently I'm the only crazy stupid person who had yet to see this movie! And, after watching it, I understand why!
I loved it! It was funny, quirky, sweet, and entertaining! AND OMG RYAN GOSLING. Such an attractive human being. I thought the acting and the writing in the movie was great, and there is a twist towards the end that made it even better! I loved the idea of Ryan Gosling helping Steve Carell get his groove back! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a cute lighthearted movie, with some laughs and a sweet story line as well! Also, to anyone who likes to look at the beauty that is Ryan Gosling.
Steve Carell's character has a wife (Julianne Moore) who asks for a divorce, and goes on to separate from her while realizing that his life sort of sucks. Ryan Gosling takes him under his wing, and teaches him how to get his spark back. In this process, it turns out everyone else around him is in some sort of love. Everyone has their own plight and issues, all surrounding the "heart" of the matter. It was clever and fun, and I enjoyed it!

the elephants were thirsty.
So, they needed some water!!
Water for Elephants, the new romantic/animal-cruelty/circus story starring everyone's favorite vampire was surprisingly good. As a disclaimer, I didn't read the book, so I may be full of crock and have no idea what I'm talking about.
The story line was original, sweet, inspiring, and a little bit "edge-of-your-seat" thrilling. By the end I really felt that I knew the characters, and I was super invested in what was going to happen to them. The generally consensus was that Reese Witherspoon was too old (sorry Elle) and that it made it a little harder to believe. I was pleasantly surprised with Robert Pattinson (he didn't even sparkle!) and the fact that he could in fact act, and didn't just look sexy and tormented for 2 hours. I loved all the animals, Hal Holbrook was a precious old man (shocker) and Christoph Waltz was superb! I didn't expect anything less from him, but it is always good to have your suspicions reinforced!
Go see this one! It will make you want a pet elephant and want to run away and join the circus. Which, in my opinion, doesn't seem like a bad side effect.
