Critics do not like being ridiculed.
22 July 2006
I watched "lady in the water" and liked the movie. I was wondering why the critics hated it, Well, the only reason I can think of is that no one likes to be ridiculed. M Night Shyamalan destroys the image of movie critics in his latest offering, and its quite hilarious to watch :D Back to story, we have a lady "from" the water who is sent to inspire an event in this world. We also have a middle aged and lonely Cleveland Heep ( played superbly by Paul Giamatti) who discovers her and helps her. What would u do, if u are supposed to save a mythological creature, without any knowledge of their world? What follows is funny at times, predictable yet interesting through out , flawed yet entertaining and as scary as my room mates snore. The kid in all of us will enjoy this movie, and forget abt it in a few days. For adults who like mythology, it is an interesting topic for their lunch conversations. It is quite a task to create mythology in a single movie, and Shyamalan made a decent attempt ... good work Shyamalan.

Sorry guys, if u are expecting a scary unpredictable flick like sixth sense, this one is not for u. This one is just as simple as a bedtime story.
