The film is about Cleveland Hip, who saved an opaque young woman from danger. It seems that this woman knows only that she is a character from the bedtime story and is trying to return to her world again. Now, Heep is fighting a reality with his tenants to protect his new friend from creatures determined to keep her in our strange world.
despite the childlike nature of the story, Lady in the Water will prove too confusing for most kids, which is a shame, since they're also the ones most like to greet that giant-eagle business with something other than a derisive laugh.

What is most annoying about "Lady" is that no one ever considers the possibility that nothing magical is actually occurring.The film starts out silly and just gets sillier.
