irritating

Lady in the Water centres around superintendent Cleveland Heep, who finds a water nymph named Story in his pool. Can he save her and help her bring her message to the world? Well, you have to hand it to Lady in the Water, it is at the very least more original than most other Hollywood films. Giacometti puts in a decent performance as Heep which is probably the most likeable thing about the film. Besides that, Lady in the Water is a big disappointment. It’s dull to watch, and worse still pretty irritating. There’s not really much explanation behind the plot, which causes a fair deal of confusion and makes it easy to lose interest. You can’t help thinking that maybe Shyamalan would have done better to listen to some of the criticisms. As it is, Lady in the Water is overly indulgent and lacks character.
