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 the scrunt forces his way through the door, it opens the wrong direction. The scrunt was inside the building trying to get out. When the latch broke, the door opened inward instead of outward, as if forced from the outside. How could the scrunt have done that? (01:38:15 - 01:38:45)

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.
