Go see it ****(Four Stars)

Prepare for a burst of imagination when you go see this movie, and further reflection of this film will only make you love it that much more.  M. Night Shyamalan is one of the most imaginative directors I have ever seen, his movies (The Sixth Sense , Unbreakable, The Village) are always original and full of hope. 

In this Tale, M. Night tells us a bedtime story, its a story created for children, and adults alike.  Allowing them to tap into their un chartered minds. in doing so M. Night  treats us like children.   Characters speak their inner thoughts, and everyone has a fun name, and while the characters are interesting and comic book like they are all intricate and important to the story.  There is still the important Night message: Purpose. We all have one. We all are meant to be somebody. Now, all we have to do is figure that out and realizing  that everyone has an untapped mission in their life.   This story helps them discover their true calling.  Its also about an entire apartment complex pulling together and helping each other achieve a goal that most of them would not even believe in.  This Movie is about team work.
This movie will cause for much reflection, its a simple story with intricate and detailed character development.   Story (Bryce Dallas Howard) comes from the water, and the apartment superintendent Cleveland Heep (Paul Giamatti) finds her and tries to help her. she wont leave and is afraid of these monsters that people cannot see.  This is when everyone gets together to help solve the problem.
The best part of his stories is that he always calls a child to rise up  to a challenge and in this story it was the interpreter Joey Dury (Noah Gray-Cabey).   He focuses on the strength of children.  I also  love what He had done to the know it all cynic character in the story, and how he got rid of him it was priceless.
You will love this story, like I said its deep, its emotional and it through, and it will cause you to think and discover.   Go see this bedtime story you wont be disappointed.
