Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Great movie to watch, when feeling romantic. Keane Reeves at his best although the timeshift plot a little hard to understand at first

Th Lake House is subtle in approach and although it lets itself flow at it's own pace - there was not a dull moment. If you want lots of action - this is not what you're looking for. But if you want a moving story, with an intriguing character study and wonderful romantic story of friendship and love then look no further. I do not like soppy love stories so don't get the wrong end of the stick here - this film is not soppy - it's moving and touching and makes you think about life, the people in your life, missed chances, and connections. People often complain about Reeve's "wooden acting" - I have to say - I don't know what they are talking about because I think he is a fine actor and he's really wonderful in this. People should give him more credit - his turn in the Lake House might well be one of my favorites of his. Sandra Bullock is also a wonderful actress and her talents should not be taken for granted - it is always a delight to watch her on screen and her turn here as Kate is sensitive and charming and also real. There's no question here when it comes to Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves on-screen chemistry - the two are always a wonderful pair ever since Speed and here they work well together once again. If you're looking for a kind of drama with some touching elements and real human story then check it out. I guarantee you this may well become one of your favorite films. For a fresh story, script and chemistry-filled acting I give this 8/10 because as a plus it is also totally re-watchable - think I've probably seen it over a dozen times.

What can I say? I avoid films like this. In my experience, romance is a pipe dream and there's no point wasting time on silly movies about pipe dreams. I watched it after flipping through On Demand films and finding nothing else even mildly interesting. It was a "desperation" selection. That I liked (no, loved) this movie so much leaves me speechless. There's no reason why I should have. After all, it's a completely implausible sappy love story. Two people separated in time, falling in love through letters left in a magic mailbox ... I should have run from the room screaming. Instead, I've seen the film four times. The only reason I can give is that the performances by Reeves and Bullock transcend the schlocky material and touch me. Their on screen chemistry (yes, they do have a few scenes together despite their characters living in different times) turns what should have been a laughably bad film into one with real heart at its center.

The story is quite refreshing and unlike other movies I've seen. This is a remake based on a Korean movie titled 'Il Mare', which I am intrigued about now. Asian films are generally more emotion/character based than Hollywood films (I feel), as not everything is over dramatized. Well actually Korean dramas tend to over dramatize the staring which I find very cheesy but I'll have to watch that one to be able to compare both versions of the film.Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves did great in this film. Bullock is probably my favourite actress so there's that. The chemistry between them was so cute as well. Even though Bullock and Reeves are not actually in the same scene for a lot of the film they portrayed the bond that their characters have on screen really well. I feel like the chemistry they had when they weren't together was much better than when they were together. The ending scene just seemed a bit off.The editing too was well done. From the putting together of the film, to the soundtrack and the order of the scenes. The visual effects was a little outdated (but can't blame them since this did come out in 2006), but I could tell when she was in the bus/train that it was a green screen.Read more movie reviews at: championangels.wordpress.com
