Pros: Bullock and Reeves together again
Cons: Their on-screen chemistry isn't quite up to Speed
Summary: The Lake House is a great romantic movie with a science fiction twist. It stars Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. What I enjoyed so much about this movie was that it never ventured into the dreaded ‘chick flick’ territory full of cheesy or sappy ... read more

Pros: Time travel gimmick worked surprisingly well, Bullock and Reeves, "dramedy" romance...
Cons: Nothing much...
Summary: I had read mostly disappointing reviews for "The Lake House," billed as a romantic movie with a twist. But since my wife and I are both Sandra Bullock fans, and we needed something to kill a few hours that didn't involve spaceships, slaying vampires, or ... read more

Pros: great actors, great scenes
Cons: weird voice over, hard to believe story
Summary: This is one of the movies where logic and credibility get killed for a good romance story (or so they say). You are presented a time-jumping tale detailing the not so likely love story between an architect that turned into a condo developer and a lonely ... read more

Pros: Thank goodness it doesn't go on for even longer!
Cons: Contrived, boring and artificially kept resuscitated for at least ten or fifteen unnecessary minutes.
Summary: I have always been a fan of both Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. So much so, in fact, that I have come to tolerate silly, waste-of-film-money-and-time efforts from both of them, trusting that their next effort will probably be better and that even ... read more

Pros: good acting and story
Cons: could have developed characters and story a bit more
Summary: The Lake House was a fantastic movie. I went to see this movie with a friend and her 12 yr old daughter. It was refreshing to see a romantic movie that was fine to take a child without having to be embarrassed by over the top sex scenes. You have to ... read more

Pros: Interesting premise, down-to-Earth characters, subtle but engaging performances.
Cons: Extraneous side-stories, may not delve as deeply as some would like.
Summary: It's kind of a drag when you get to that point in your life where you realize you really have given up on love. It's even more of a drag when you realize that it didn't just happen overnight, but has been happening for over a year. But the biggest drag ... read more

Pros: Fantastic writing.
Cons: Not for the literal minded.
Summary: This is not a Hollywood-style movie. It has the feel of a London stage play, with a slow moving plot and fully developed characters. Of course, that's because it was written by David Auburn, the Pulitzer prize winning author of "Proof". Now, I love a ... read more

Pros: excellent relationships, interesting insights, great cinematography
Cons: slow, silly premise, steers into the iceberg on many levels
Summary: Every now and then, a movie gets creamed by the critics. It becomes the joke of the month and people like David Spade hike a leg and let the shower fall. The Lake House is one of these. It's a lot like a house made of glass, sitting on stilts, ... read more

Pros: Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves have great chemistry together.
Cons: Alex cursed in the beginning of the movie making it seem a little tawdry.
Summary: I think The Lake House is a great movie that encourage people to hope for love. To have faith in fate and destiny. This movie isn't nonsensical. This movie shouldn't simply be seen it should be felt as well. You should feel the connection as they ... read more

Cons: odd causality links between two timelines, trite twist at the end

Pros: A gentle love story
Cons: A bit slow.
Summary: A tad slow for my taste, a bit hard to follow in places. The charactors were sweet and believeable. The story line made you want 'will' them to find each other and to be together. Keanu and Sandra played their parts well enough and the cute puppy was a
