Editorial Review: Product Description: Warner Brothers Lady in the Water - HD-DVD A story The Sixth Sense filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan told his childrenis the basis for this spellbinding plunge into the supernatural. Paul Giamatti plays an apartment manager who finds an otherworld water nymph named Story (Bryce Dallas Howard) in the pool, then sets out to help her return to her home, The Blue World. Fierce Blue World monsters prowl nearby, determined to destroy Story and anyone who aids her, including the apartment dwellers who come to realizefulfill those destines forms the amazing heart ofdiscovery in Lady in the Water. Amazon.com: Or, if you prefer, I See Wet People. M. Night Shyamalan's attempt at a newfangled mythology--about a depressed apartment superintendent (Paul Giamatti) who discovers a sea-nymph (Bryce Dallas Howard) who may hold the key to humanity's hopeful future--is intriguing enough to capture the imaginations of children and adults who haven't lost sight of their innocent sense of wonder. Cynics, on the other hand, will likely scoff at Shyamalan's awkward fantasy, which includes one victim--a film critic--widely interpreted as Shyamalan's revenge against reviewers who panned The Village. Shyamalan originally improvised this melancholy fantasy as a bedtime story for his children; unfortunately, it still feels mostly half-baked and ultimately ineffective due to a number of plot holes and inconsistencies that a writer as talented as Shyamalan should've been able to avoid. For those wishing to learn more about the film's troubled history, and Shyamalan's petulant split from Disney studios, The Man Who Heard Voices: Or, How M. Night Shyamalan Risked His Career on a Fairy Tale is an interesting read. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Another good movie by ShyamalanI've enjoyed most of Night Shyamalan's movies and this is no exception. The movie has feeling and hope which you don't get in many movies these days. Paul Giamatti does an above average job, as he often does. Playing the role of someone just trying to get by and do the right thing, even under extreme diversity, seems to be his cup of tea. Rating:  - Really?I really really tried to sit through this movie i just could not i like M shaymalans movies but this one was just a train reck. The acting was poor the script was poor i felt like i was sitting in silence for over half the movie brokenm up by broken soft spoken dialouge. I think the movie was a good story just poorly executed. i would say skip this if you can and go rent a good movie. Rating:  - Good Effort, But Could Have Been BetterI enjoyed Lady In The Water for what it was - a fairy tale. The directing, tone, and score were what I liked most, as usual with M. Night Shyamalan's work. I was impressed at Paul Giamatti's performance. He was funny at times, and especially moving during the climax at the end of the film. I was also impressed by Shyamalan's performance. I don't know why he was so criticized for his acting. He did fine from where I was sitting. The main thing I would change in Lady is the way the story ... Read More Rating:  - Uniquely BeautifulBeautiful. Poetic. Humorous, and a bit scary, too (just enough - don't worry, you can watch it alone.) UNIQUE. 50 years from now, when the rest of the idiotic movies being produced today are forgotten, M. Night Shyamalan's works are going to be hailed as inventive, creative, and classic, the way Orson Welles' "Citizen Kane" is seen today. "Lady In The Water" even pokes fun at the predictability of other films while beguiling the viewer with its own surprising twists ... Read More Rating: - it's M. Night..You either like the "Twillight Zones" or NOT!Look..I can see the crazy "Two Ends of the Spectrum" on the movie. It's like Broccoli! You either appreciate his "nutrient-rich potent-intellectual" space he works around or you don't get it! I have a real good attention span. I even like to watch a movie over and over till I feel I REALLY got it. What did I miss that could explain it better? How was the sound and music production. The special effects. Were they overdone? Was a scene necessary? Did I like that particular angle or ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
