Time is running out for a happy ending

Apartment building superintendent Cleveland Heep (Giamatti) rescues what he thinks is a young woman from the pool he maintains. When he discovers that she is actually a character from a bedtime story who is trying to make the journey back to her home, he works with his tenants to protect his new friend from the creatures that are determined to keep her in our world.

To avoid !
It’s sad - but nevertheless undeniable - to note that the quality of M. Night Shyamalan’s productions is not improving. From “The Sixth Sense” to “Unbreakable”, could one talk about relaxation. Later “Signs” and “The Village” represented the next levels of this “relaxation”, allowing disappointed spectators to utter the words “mediocrity” or “absurdity". Well, mediocrity and absurdity are great adjectives for the new-born movie of the Indian director. This “Lady in the water” and the farcical universe that comes with her and that is slowly revealed to us causes, for the ones who are still awake, pity more than any other feeling. This film, which is neither really funny nor sad nor frightening, is however not unclassifiable. The failure category suites it perfectly. To avoid!
