I'm probably the only person in America that actually liked Lady in the Water. The Village I wasn't crazy about, but I haven't DISLIKED anything he's done. So I don't know where I'm getting my pessimism from. I guess it's the fact that I've only heard negative buzz on this movie. I just don't know if that's because it legitimately isn't a good movie or if that everyone is jumping on the bash M. Night bandwagon.
