Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The_Film_Cricket You know, I can't always pinpoint in a bad movie the precise moment that it loses me but there was in the case of 'Magic in the Water'. The scene has a little girl named Ashley who is positive that a Loc Ness-type creature lives in the lake leaves some Oreo cookies on the edge of the dock. Upon her return she discovers that the white stuff has been licked out and the rest of the cookie remain, dry as a bone. I didn't get up and leave the movie but I did suddenly have an urge to go to the can.There are half a dozen moments like that in 'Magic in the Water' an inexplicable E.T. wannabe that follows every family movie cliché like they were the sacred laws of the land. The story involves a dad who is constantly attached to his cell phone and his two kids Joshua and Ashley who move to the lake where a fabled creature named Orky is said to be living. Yes his named is Orky and when your laughter has subsided you may read further.All the standard characters are here: The busy non-believing dad (Mark Harmon), the wise old man in this case and Indian named Ben; the meanies who want to use Okry's (Orky *snicker*) lake as a chemical waste dump.'Magic in the Water' is the bi-product of two better movies: 'E.T.' and 'Free Willy' which this movie steals from at will and rather shamelessly. Oh and the Oreo Cookie company of course.

Melissa Bennett (lovestruck_7406) This movie came out when I was 5 years old. I remember because my dad took me to go see it on our father/daughter date. Anyway, for years now I have been trying to tell people (and they all thought i was crazy and tried convincing me that it didn't exist)about this movie and I couldn't remember the name of it or what it was really about I tried google and everything I could think of but the only things I remembered was there was a loch ness monster that ate Oreo and something about a hole to china. After 18 years of not knowing what to search for I finally found on the answer question thing yahoo has that there was a movie Magic in the water and there was a little girl that ate Oreo. after googling I had a friend order it for me online and we got it the other day and just watched it with my dad (and the rest of the family including my husband that made fun the whole time lol). But after all these years I finally own it and I'll cherish it forever. Great movie that I will always recommend to families!!

lastliberal I decided to stay in British Columbia and watch another Lock Ness movie. This time the star is a little girl Sarah Wayne, in her only film. She was absolutely adorable, and made the experience pleasant.I wish I could say the same for Mark Harmon, but he just didn't do it. It's another story of a dad who is "forced" to spend some time with his two children (the other is BC native Joshua Jackson from "Dawson's Creek') and leaves them to find their own entertainment while he writes a book.His daughter discovers the magic in the lake and he becomes infected, causing him to forget the book and do some bonding.They manage to save the creature from the evil toxic waste dumpers with a little help from and old Indian played by Frank 'Grey Wolf' Salsedo.

DeborahPainter855 I seldom worry too much about wasting three dollars, but I will always regret the time and the three dollars I wasted seeing this in a theater years ago.The actors must have had some major bills to pay to accept their roles in this junk. The story is as hackneyed and cliched as any I have seen anywhere. Children definitely deserve better than this. Even THE MIGHTY KONG was better than this!
