Along the lines of King Kong, the Creature falls in love with the lovely maiden and kidnaps her to have her all to himself.  Not a very original plot.  About the only things that make this film worthwhile are the creature's design and the underwater photography which was a fairly young art at the time.  A couple of "tense" moments during the fight scenes were about as scary as it got.

Plot:
Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler star in this wildly funny battle of the sexes from director Robert Luketic (Legally Blonde). Abby (Heigl), a successful morning show producer, is looking for a lot in a man. Mike (Butler), her obnoxious TV star, knows men only want one thing. Determined to prove that she's not romantically challenged, Abby takes Mike's advice during a promising new romance, but the unexpected results will stun everyone.

This is one I recently got from the library... though it is one I have seen before. I believe I first caught this on cable.... but it could have been netflix. I enjoyed this one quite a bit. Not surprising... as I been a fan of Katherine Heigl for some time now. This is one I hope to add to my collection before too long.
