Lady in the Water is confounding fantasy movie by M. Night Shyamalan about a water nymph named Story (Bryce Dallas Howard) who appears in a housing complex within kindly Cleveland's (Paul Giamatti) pool and is trying to find friends and return home. She is chased by simians protecting her, the people of the complex and grass-covered, wolf-like beings that mean to harm her. Strange yet somehow sweet but Shyamalan as a writer who may save the world is a bit much.

Continuity mistake: When Reggie is fighting back the green beast he is standing in very short grass. In the next shot he hears the great eagle coming and he looks towards the sky. When he looks back at the beast he is standing in very high grass which was never near him.

Cleveland Heep: I'm sorry I couldn't protect you. Oh, I should have been there. I am always going to regret... just not being there. I'll miss your faces. They remind me of God. I'm so lost without you guys. I met this very nice lady, and her name's Story. I think you would have liked her. I think she might be... an Angel, because she has to go home. I love you all, I love you all so much.

Trivia: Shyamalan based the film on a story he told his children. This aspect of the production was questioned frequently, with one critic saying that if Shyamalan based his films on kid stories, he should go make films for Nickelodeon. Ironically enough, 4 years later he released "The Last Airbender" for Nickelodeon, which was considered to be one of the worst films ever released.
