The Lake House

This was great popcorn fare with your significant other! Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves are once again a great on screen couple, although they weren't often on screen together. Lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing and enough closeups to satisfy all. Christopher Plummer was an interesting supporting actor and as always commanded the screen. As a matter of fact there were a lot of interesting supporting actors, one from the TV series "24", there was Jack the dog, and of course the Lakehouse. I'm sorry I forgot to mention the architecture of Chicago and the mailbox. The whole time issue kept us talking long after the movie was over. Don't get too caught up in the plausibility aspect just enjoy it as a romantic fantasy, we all need some escape now and then. Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves fans won't be disappointed and I am sure they may pick up a few new ones along the way. A great release to end the Hollywood drought of late. Go see it!

Romance is magical and that is all you have to know in order to enjoy this movie. Love isn't meant to be over-analyzed and if you stay with that, you will spend two hours transported into a beautiful love story. On the way home, I tried to review the story in my mind as far as the time/distance thing, and decided that I didn't need to completely understand it in order to keep that warm fuzzy feeling that I got from this movie. In an age filled with bed hopping and violence (which I enjoy in movies) it was nice to see an old fashioned romance with a tender heart. If you are a die hard romantic and believe that love can conquer all, you will really enjoy this flick. So take the one that you love to this beautiful story. And if you haven't found that special someone yet-go see it and believe in the power of love!!!

I usually don't like romance films and I will only watch them if they have a strong and interesting premise. Well, this film definitely delivered! The two main characters are living in different time periods and communicate via the mailbox in the titular Lake House. It is not really about the time travel though, it is about their interactions which lead to a sweet story. The acting was great and I really cared about these characters.

Confusing from beginning to end. I know this is supposed to be romantic, but I just didn't feel anything. Nothing about this silly premise makes any sense. Not even Bullock or Reeves can save this senseless, unexplained film. Highly disappointing

This is one of my favorite films...there is so much chemistry between these two it makes the storyline even better. The storyline?...it is amazing...I love the time travel love stories so much, makes me wish it was possible. I love this movie and watch it over and over again.

Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock have such perfect chemistry, they are re-teaming since Speed(1994). The centers around Kate(Sandra Bullock) a doctor who seems to be in drowning relationship,and Alex(Keanu Reeves) an architect who is lonely at the top. They both share a lake house, and they found each others mail. And quickly begin to write each other back. But has they begin to realize there is a sudden time warp between them, because Alex is living in 2004, and Kate is living in 2006. Has they continue to write each other, they try to figure if there love can stand the test of time. Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock both gave amazing performances. They both did not play it cute, but ordinary people who are in this unordinary situation. Christopher Plummer is also good playing Reeves one dimensional dad. This is really a great date movie.

I laughed, I cried, I blushed... I even got butterflies and that gooey grin on my face through half the movie. Even my husband loved it! He was so into it, he had to use the bathroom through the whole movie and held it because he didn't want to miss anything. (That's gotta say something.. Whatever is the highest amount of stars... This one deserves 100 more! I'm from Chicago, and I overheard somebody talking about a glass house being put up on a lake out here specifically for a movie, so my husband and I went to check it out... Ever since then, I knew we had to go see it when it came out. I knew it would be a good movie from the previews.... but never did I imagine it would be as good as it was. I recommend this movie to everyone.

This is a wonderful movie with outstanding performances by Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. Something has happened to Ms. Bullock style of acting. She has developed into a truly great actress. Her transformation became evident in Crash and is further evident in this movie. The plot is far-fetched, but so what? It's a fantasy. This movie is proof that when it wants to, Hollywood can still make a movie that offers great acting and an interesting story that really engages the audience, even if the plot is predictable. For this is a movie that succeeds not because of the story, but through the performances of the lead actor and actress who carry this movie and render it not only watchable but enjoyable.

Reeves and Bullock have a natural chemistry and clearly The Lake House puts them at their best. The movie takes the time to unfold, instead of rushing things to quicken the pace. In this "get it yesterday" world, I enjoyed the unfolding of the plot, the interaction of characters, the common elements (Jack, the doctor, etc.) that forward the plot rather than obscure it, and, unlike some recent films, the music choices enhance rather than hinder the mood and the plot. Unlike Somewhere in Time, where you knew from the beginning the outcome would not be good, and the ending is extremely disappointing, here the story works its way to a conclusion that was, to put it mildly, unexpected. I definitely plan to see this one again, and when it comes out on DVD, I plan to add it to my collection. An excellent performance all around
