I don't want to spoil anything so my advice would be to watch it and form your own opinion. Sorry I can't be of more help but I don't want to influence your opinion, one way or the other. |

Lady in the Water is decent. If you like Giamatti, you will probably like it.

I reviewed it. And whenever I wrote reviews I always "stewed" on the film for a bit. Let it linger. I wanted to give it time to work in my mind. Normally, any bad movie gets better in my head. Not to mean it gets "good"... but I usually start finding things that make it redeemable. Signs is the only movie I can remember that got worse. I disliked it in the theater. Two days later I despised it. Unbreakable is his best work, hands down (IMHO). |

I couldn't stand Unbreakable....It was like they tried to take the first 20 minutes of a comic book movie and stretch it out over 2 hours.... Lady in the Water sucked, the Village Sucked, whatever else sucked. |

Hes an excellent director. His films always look great. He knows how to build tension and suspense and the performances he gets are usually top notch. If he would just stop writing he would be alot better off.

I watched Knocked Up last night. There were some funny parts, but I have to say that I was not impressed.
BUT I think it is because I take children very seriously. More importantly, I've seen children coming from bad decisions, and they rarely turn out happily ever after like everyone could see coming. I guess what I'm getting at is that I couldn't get into a comedic mood with children's lives at stake. I guess I need to chill out and check my brain, but I couldn't get it done. That being said, there was some comedy gold hidden in there. |

Suffice to say, I found it extremely unfunny at the time, especially the scenes with the gyno, the books, etc. Having watched it several times on HBO this past summer, I have a greater appreciation for the film but outside of a few scenes, it's clearly at the bottom of the Apatow file for me. Superbad is about 10 million times as funny IMO. |
