M. Shyamalan's Lady in the Water

OK - I have just watched this film and I have to say that I can't understand why people didn't like it. I thought it was a beautiful, whistful story, with elegant acting and a wonderfully sweet ending. And Shyamalan may have cast himself in a prominent position, but it be frank if I hadn't known that it was him I wouldn't have had a clue that he wasn't an actor.

I have to say though, I did feel sorry for the scrunt at the end - all I could see was a grass covered german shepherd!
