Synopsis

Radio psychologist Jack Black takes his children Joshua and Ashley on a 'vacation' to a lake in British Columbia. While he grinds away at work the children discover that the famous local lake monster "Orky" may not be just a gimmick to attract tourists after all. In fact, Orky may enable them to get closer to their workaholic dad, and help stop local polluters who are dumping toxic waste.

Alicia I love this movie so much
Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
veronicammartin This is a feel-good film which is funny as well as moving. Mark Harmon, a radio psychologist takes his children on holiday to British Columbia. The scenery is stunning throughout. The child actors actually seemed like nice kids unlike most child actors these days. Mark Harmon copes with changing personalities very well. The children are excellent. The whole film though predictable from the start,made me smile and laugh. It's a good way to unwind at the end of the day. It was worth watching if only for the policewoman on the door step! And Orky of course, in his various forms!
Lee Eisenberg Rick Stevenson's "Magic in the Water" is the usual sort of family movie that they crank out, although it is worth seeing. I wouldn't recommend the movie as your first choice, but if there's nothing else it's definitely worth checking out. My favorite parts were actually the "digging to China" scenes; looking back on it, those scenes remind me of "God's Little Acre".So, the movie is OK to check out. Stevenson now has a company called Official Best of Fest, that distributes film festival movies that most people would otherwise never get a chance to see. Interesting concept.Yeah, I'm a sexy guy...
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!!
HomeTech What a great movie!Saw this on HBO recently (11-15-2001) for the second time and it was wonderful. While not quite as good as "The Boy Who Could Fly", which is in a special class all it's own, I rank this movie right up there.Sarah Wayne as Ashley Black especially stole our hearts. It is a shame that this is the only movie she has ever done according to IMDB's records. This little girl holds quite a bit of the movie on her own merit. Her smile captivated our entire family; her acting was excellent.This is a decent, well centered story concerning a family at loss and their rediscovery of themselves in the community they are visiting to "get away". Through the magical help of a rather large friend, the local resident Indian shaman and local lore, miracles can happen.A reflective, spirited movie ultimately about love and caring about others that lifts the heart and spirit of anybody who watches.Well worth anybodies time. Two thumbs way up!
