Amazon.com: Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock pair up again in what could be described as the anti-Speed: The Lake House, a sweet, relaxed-paced, whimsical romance. When Alex Wyler (Reeves, The Matrix) moves into an unusual glass house on stilts over a lake, he discovers a note from the previous tenant in the mailbox--but no one's lived in the house for years. He replies and soon discovers that he's corresponding with a doctor named Kate Forster (Bullock, Miss Congeniality) who's writing from two years in the future. Their correspondence turns romantic and their paths cross in unexpected ways, but when they try to truly connect, danger looms. Though the plot of The Lake House sounds potentially static, the movie is skillfully structured and, despite some truly awful dialogue, will exert an emotional pull on anyone willing to embrace the device of the time-travelling mailbox. What the movie really demonstrates, though, is the genuine rapport between Bullock and Reeves; Reeves, though handsome, has a wooden presence--but in his few scenes with Bullock, his stiffness transforms into a palpable yearning. On-screen chemistry is slippery and hard to define, but these two have it. --Bret Fetzer

Rating: - This truly shows how awful these two actors are, as well as how miserably pathetic this film truly is
Wow, this was so bad, it brings my body into spastic impulses trying to relay to the kind reader what words I could use to describe how awful the acting is. NO REALLY, Reeves (as if we all don't know already) is by far, despite his varied roles, is one of the worst method actors on the screen today. He just boldly has horrible timing, and when you compare him with lets say people like, ohhhh I don't know, Pete Postelwaite, or Albert Finney, Mike York....where would Keanu fit in? He wouldn't. He is just ravishingly uninspiring with the conscience of let's say Hayden C. in Star Wars; trite, unmoving and pretentious. Bad enough we have to throw him another film with the equally disgracefully talented, almost doll faced looking with the plastic surgery, miss perfect Sandra B., what else would you expect?

Rating: - Definitely fluffy and sappy... but also a guilty pleasure
While I do enjoy my chick flicks and romances, I tend to be rather picky about them. This was the type of movie I should have mocked, with star-crossed lovers spouting poetic descriptions without ever really telling all that much about themselves and the roll-your-eyes plot twists.
And yet... there is just something about that ugly glass house on the lake and two people dwelling in it two years apart. I'm sure all hopeless romantics will agree.
Reeves and Bullock have great chemistry, even despite their lack of touching in this movie. I still say that what keeps this movie going is the sheer concept. It's a neat idea, and I guess I appreciate them dwelling on the relationship rather than the mechanics. Indeed, there are a few loose ends and I think they made me like the movie all the more.
The film has a rather quiet, rainy day feel to it that adds to the sleepily romantic mood ... Read More
Rating: - The Lake House
Unique story line. The movie held my attention. Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves were an excellant match for the their roles.
Rating: - Mail Has Never Been More Dynamic!
OK, first of all, this is one of the top 5 movies of all time. Before I even saw the movie, I was like "Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves are re-teaming for a movie about living in worlds 2 years apart, in the same house, but connected by a magical mailbox?!!! This is going to be one of my all time top 10 favorite movies of all time!" What I did not know at the time, however, was that it was going to be one of my top 5 movies of all time, easily beating 6-10. I wish I could go back in time and tell myself--the self that hadn't yet seen the movie--that it would be this great. Maybe I'll mail myself a letter. No, I'm just kidding. :)
Anyway, why this movie is so great is that it harnesses all the charm of Keanu Reeves and the spitfireness of Sandra Bullock without all of that distracting plot that you might find in a movie like "Speed." And by the way, how difficult is it to believe that a bus would blow ... Read More
