AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

paulclaassen 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

mustang5201 The Lake House is a very touching love story. It was great seeing Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock together again on screen. If you enjoy love stories, this one is for you. I have some advice though. Watch it more than once! Trust me! When I first watched it I felt really confused at the end. I must not have been paying much attention. But, when I watched it a second time, it made so much more sense and I enjoyed it quite well. So, before giving it a review or discounting the movie altogether, watch it a second time and remember to pay attention. You will enjoy it.

juneebuggy I have a bit of a thing for time-travel stories, this one is pretty good although it still demands some suspension of disbelief, or that you just go along with the romance and stop trying to dissect that aspect. It also teams up Sandra Bullock & Keanu Reeves again and they're good together even if their characters are both a little flat here.Bullock plays a lonely doctor who rents a glass house on the lake. She's sad because of her job and a boyfriend she doesn't truly love. Through a (magic) mailbox she begins to exchange letters with an architect who is living in the same house just 2 years in the past. Somehow they share this space and fall in love but how will they ever get together? The movie spans several years, has fantastic secondary characters (a very mean Christopher Plummer, Dylan Walsh, Shohreh Aghdashloo) and the glass house on silts is beautiful to look at but I sure wouldn't want to live there.Initially the story is a bit jumpy, what with the 2 year time issue, doggie footprints and letters being exchanged (as conversations). I also never did figure out what was up with the dog, which time was he from? Who owned him? There were also some sections in the movie that dragged or were just plain boring; like the scene where Alex and Kate meet at a party and talk and dance for like an entire song. If I'm honest it was also about halfway through that I realized how depressing this movie was: unrequited love and bus accidents and Sandra's character in general who's so morose.Still, I liked it and that kiss at the end, wow could you ever feel the true love and desperation to just ...touch. 5/26/15

paladier Well well well...a movie which, before seeing it, seemed awesome. After seeing it, it seems awesome but it lacks logic. Absolutely lacks logic. The plot is great, the characters are vivid and you are almost living their drama...but there are so many plot holes that you can get a nightmarish headache. If just someone had put a little more effort in writing the script, this movie would have turned a whole lot better. I mean, everybody knows that this can't really happen - but even if it can't, make it look like it could. Make the movie seem realistic. Make it look like you aren't only trying to tell a ''love story'' but also a story worth making you think. All in all, the only good reason to watch this is because your girlfriend/wife tells you to. Otherwise, go watch something better which doesn't cause you a headache because of the lack of logic.
