control. When Alice
Holbrook (Jennifer Love
Hewitt) receives a

is that the card is
actually from Sam's best
friend, Archie Gray
(Dougray Scott), who
harbours a secret crush
on her. But things get
really wild when Sam
receives Alice's card and
thinks it's from another
woman. Deciding to test
her husband when he
doesn't tell her he's
received a card, Alice
enters into a dangerous
game with him as she
pretends to be the other
woman. Some wacky scenes
ensue, and The Truth
About Love should find an

Water For Elephants DVD

Sara Gruen's bestselling
novel comes to glossy
life in this period
romance. A sparkle-free
Robert Pattinson plays
Jacob Jankowski, who
studies veterinary
medicine during the Great
Depression. After a
family tragedy, he loses
everything, including
the chance to graduate
from prestigious Cornell,
so he hops a train,
where he finds himself
part of the struggling
Benzini Brothers Circus.
Ringleader August
(Christoph Waltz,
echoing his Oscar winning
Inglorious Basterds
performance) has doubts
about the soft-hearted
lad, but a fellow Pole
smoothes the way, and
Jacob becomes the company
vet, which leads him to
platinum-blonde
equestrian Marlena (Reese
Witherspoon), August's
wife. The two make eyes
at each other, but an
affair would surely end
badly, so they
concentrate on their
work. When Marlena's
prize steed falls ill,
August purchases an
elephant, hoping Rosie
will turn their fortunes
around, and enlists
Jacob to train her.
Unfortunately, she's
slow to respond to
commands until Jankowski
unlocks her secret and
after August has beaten
the poor thing into
submission. After that,
things start to look up
until Jacob steals a kiss
from his dream girl. As
in The Notebook, the
film it most closely
resembles, an elderly
version of the central
character (Hal Holbrook,
touching) narrates in the
present day (screenwriter
Richard LaGravenese also
adapted The Bridges of
Madison County). He tells
an interesting tale, so
it's too bad the leads
strike so few sparks. For
those who find big-top
classics like Nightmare
Alley too dark, however,
Francis Lawrence's
feel-better variant may
be just the ticket.
