Seeing "Lady in the Water" on the Golden Raspberries really shocked me. Just goes to show that some critics can't take a joke. Kill a critic and elevate the screenwriter in a movie and some of them make sure to hit you in the pocketbook.
This is an example where the negative publicity tanked the box office. I saw this during a family vacation on Kauai and it was a highlight of our trip. The theatre was packed with the audience comprising of mostly locals and a few tourists. It was a fun audience, we laughed at all the same spots. The murmurs of surprise filled the theatre as the plot unfolded. The story did all the right stuff -- it was either a little ahead or a little behind the audience and lead us all around a garden path besides.
I did not give it much thought since except for the occasional thought of writers sacrificing for their writings. I have not bothered to read a single review and did not know that people had panned it, until now. This is outrageous and unjust.
