Lake House

Pros: touching love story; acting; set in Chicago; father subplot
Cons: predictable; Reeves seemed miscast just a bit; a more implausible remake

I wish I’d waited to watch 2006’s The Lake House on DVD when it’s released on September 26. I really needed two viewings of it to catch what I missed. It’s pretty confusing in its time-travel plot that is a Hollywood remake of a 2000 Korean ...

Pros: Bullock & Reeves are well matched, cinematography
Cons: Concept was a little off the wall, can be predictable

I had been wanting to see this movie for a while and could find no one that wanted to see it in the theater with me. I’m not a huge fan of Keanu Reeves, but I just love Sandra Bullock so this movie was not to be missed. I rented from ...

Pros: It's a different type of movie.
Cons: Hard to follow if not paying careful attention.

The Lake House (2006) is one of the movies I've had on queue on Netflix waiting for the DVD release. I finally got a chance to watch this movie and found it to be very different and entertaining. It stars Sandra Bullock, who won the 2006 Hollywood ...

Pros: Reeves and Bullocks chemistry
Cons: A couple of predictable parts

What happens when you cross temporal mechanics and romance stories? Well, apparently, the movie Lake House. In this moving story, Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock play two people who fall in love, despite being inexplicably separated in time by a ...

Pros: Bullock and Reeves work well here, interesting premise
Cons: Can get a little confusing

Well isn’t this a surprise. Not that I’m back writing – that was bound to happen eventually, and I had a feeling it would be sooner rather than later considering how many more reviews I’ve started but not finished since publishing ...

Pros: Great story, acting, concept.
Cons: Nothing.

Sometimes I get in the mood to see a chick flick. And by sometimes, I mean when my husband is working out of town and the kids are in bed. But that's okay. It's better that way, because if I cry there is no one there but my dog, Duke, and he doesn't ...

Pros: Original story. Most scenes have a somewhat logical explanation and they tie together.
Cons: Some scenes are not logical (but who cares?). Some scenes with confusing timeline.

I wanted to watch this movie as soon as I saw the previews, because the previews already made me cry. I had very high expectations and the movie did just what it promised. I loved it so much and I cannot wait for it to come out on DVD for me to collect. ...

Pros: Adequate acting, Excellent concept, Direction that keeps the flow good, Kate is a good character
Cons: Somewhat derivative, Moments of acting

It's a good time to have a decent romantic time travel story. Having recently read - and completely loved - "The Time-Traveler's Wife" (review available at: h ttp://www.epinions.com/content _330628370052 ), when I ...

Pros: Superb acting, eye-opening reevaluation of Keanu and Sandra's acting abilities
Cons: That time-warp thing leaves many unanswered questions

Okay, rubbing my hands together in suspended anticipation, I popped the DVD in, hoping for an improved story line and sophisticated Hollywood treatment of the "Il Mare", The Lake House, starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. Somewhere along ...

Pros: A beautiful story tastefully told, something you could watch with your teenagers.
Cons: Must be able to suspend reality to enjoy the story.

This movie has been on my list of movies to see since it came out a couple of years ago. I finally was able to record it from a premium movie channel free preview weekend and watch it at my leisure. This movie was worth the wait! My only ...

Pros: Great story, easy to follow, well written, excellent performances, wonderful sound track, beautiful
Cons: A bit far fetched and it is a bit of a chick flick.

When I saw this movie at the video store, I immediately wanted to buy it, even though I hadn't seen it. First of all, it was Keanu and I love Keanu. Next, it was Sandra Bullock - another of my favourites. And they were so good together in Speed, they ...

Pros: A sweet and smart little film that triumphs despite its shortcomings
Cons: Lackluster performances by Reeves and Bullock

I said it when I reviewed "Imagine Me And You" and I'm going to say it again. If a movie has a brain in its collective head, it can survive most of its shortcomings. To me, "The Lake House" falls into the same category as the afore mentioned ...

Pros: It keeps you wondering what will happen next.
Cons: In my opinion there wasn't any.

The lake house is about a man and a woman that both stay in the same lake house at different times. Alex Wyler(played by Keanu Reeves)is an architect living in the year 2004 while Kate Forster (played by Sandra Bullock) is a nurse living in 2006. They ...

Pros: Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock together again.
Cons: Time changes without any warning or explanation.

The Lake House starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock was a let down. It goes back and forth in between times and is very confusing. The premise was good but I think they should have put words on the screen to let people know what time it was, what ...

Pros: Great characters and interesting story
Cons: A little weird because of the time issue

When I first saw the previews for this on television, I knew that it was a film that I wanted to see. I was not disappointed when I watched it, and I don't think you will be either. Plot Kate Forster is moving out of her house on the lake ...
