Review:
I loved this movie a lot more than I thought I would. One of my friends read the book and told me that the movie was coming out and that it was a good story. I was still hesitant on watching it. When I finally decided to see what it was all about I was more surprised than ever. It was a bit slow at the beginning, but it was interesting and it made you want to know more. When the elephant named Rosie came into the picture she tied it all together and really made people connect through her. I also did find it funny that the elephant and I share the same name. We also seem to share our "outside-of-the-box" thoughts (lifting the stake of her chain to get lemonade) and our need to help others (saving Marlena in the end). I think that made me connect to the movie more.
I would recommend this movie for everyone and anyone that wants to see a good story fall into place. this movie kind of blew me away and I would watch it again any day. In fact... I might watch it again right now :)
That's all for now...
