Alas, though, the fantasy story being told just never grabbed me ... though I did find it passingly charming.
I was most disappointed with Bryce Howard's performance. She was so scintillating in The Village ... stole the movie, in fact. Here, she was so wan and underplayed. Neither her character nor her character's plight ever bit me. She had to be the most boring sea-nymph in motion picture history.
But I did like her Ariel tribute, undersea grotto.
