Based on the acclaimed bestseller, "Water for Elephants" presents an unexpected romance in a uniquely compelling setting. Veterinary school student Jacob meets and falls in love with Marlena, a star performer in a circus of a bygone era. They discover beauty amidst the world of the Big Top, and come together through their compassion for a special elephant. Against all odds -- including the wrath of Marlena's charismatic but dangerous husband, August -- Jacob and Marlena find lifelong love.

'something told me that circus picked me' - wrong, he felt attracted to the circus, meaning that some circus element was preferable to him, which shows how it was his own decision to join the circus, not the other way around (even if it is a mutual interaction)

'a beautiful woman deserves a beautiful life' - sounds enticing but has nothing to do with how it works, she will deserve that what she chooses and what she accomplishes, her beauty being merely a possible advantage in that particular society

otherwise, seems like an overstretched effort to capitalize on the popularity of twilight's famous vampire and his status with the female audience, especially exploiting the romantic (or more correctly adulterous) aspect of the movie
