M. Night Shyamalan's "bedtime story" Lady In The Water is a universally panned film that I find hard not liking.
Sure it's got an uneven plot, questionable dialogue and terribly written characters, but the mood, performances and music are great. Shyamalan had balls to make a film like this when the big thing in mainstream cinema were manboy superheros and boy wizards. It's nothing more than wide-eyed storytelling that serves it's purpose in entertainment.

I agree. Plus, it's hard to dislike Paul Giamatti. I like this one for personal reasons so 3 out of 5 from me too but it probably doesn't deserve it. :)
I also found it at least worth watching. I remember laughing at the crude drawing in the opening credits because it reminded me of Invader Zim. I have no idea why.
Nice try making a new fairytale even if it is a little disjointed.
