Review of Lady in the Water

Let me start by saying that M. Night Shyamalan is one of my favorite filmmakers, even though The Last Airbender is horrible, but I pretty much like most of his other movies like The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, and The Village. I know Lady in the Water isn't one of his best according to most people, but I actually quite enjoyed this one. The acting from both the lead actors were wonderful. Paul Giamatti was really well done. Bryce Dallas Howard, who was also in The Village, was so beautiful and sweet. What surprised me in the movie is that, unlike his other movies, M. Night Shyamalan had a role in it instead of a cameo because he usually had cameos in his movies. The movie had a pretty interesting and unique concept about a bedtime story becoming real. In case nobody knows, The movie is based on a bedtime story Shyamalan told to his children, which did made me curious. The musical score by James Newton Howard was very pretty and well done. Like Shyamalan's other movies, The movie is not too scary, but it's suspenseful. Another thing that surprised me was that it had some funny moments, especially the bug squash scene at the beginning, which was quite hilarious. For me, I don't think it wasn't as bad as a lot of people say it is. Lady in the Water is not The Sixth Sense, but it's not The Last Airbender either. It's not a perfect movie, but it's enjoyable and beautifully crafted.
