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.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
A singularly unconvincing parable, ultimately hamstrung by awkward, choppy storytelling.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,
5 May 2014
rotten:
On the minus side are a heavy-handed dose of political correctness and a needless flight into dubious whimsy in an already fanciful situation.
– Kevin Thomas,
Los Angeles Times,
5 May 2014
rotten:
If Magic in the Water had been written smarter, both children and adults would have enjoyed it more.
– Gene Siskel,
Chicago Tribune,
5 May 2014
rotten:
Orky is very concerned with the environment and can repair relationships between parents and children. But Orky cannot save this movie.
– Jami Bernard,

rotten:
Orky isn't shown until near the end, and then only briefly. At first, I thought this was an attempt to build suspense, but after a while, I began to suspect that the high cost of sea-monster footage was the real explanation.
