THE LAKE HOUSE Sandra Bullock, Keanu Reeves DVD 2006

I'm on the way to the video store to rent this movie, and then get my bid on ebay to buy! I just loved it at the theatre. My daughter asked me "how did this happen". The time warp . . . and I had to say I don't know. What I do know is that the chemistry between the characters is so palpable that the viewer is able to suspend reality and go along with the plot.
The basic premise is that Bullock leaves her glass house on the lake and puts a note into the mailbox for the new tenant. Reeves is the recipient of the note, but the kicker is that the two are two years apart in time, Reeves having been the previous tenant. They continue to correspond through the notes, and there is that sense of suspended animation when you wonder if they will meet, etc.
It's a chick flick without a doubt and there will be moments when the tears will flow. If you could use a little romance, and are willing to suspend your disbelief, you will thoroughly enjoy the movie! (For me, it didn't hurt that I love to look at Keanu Reeves!)

Overall a nice movie, but not enough punch at the end

This is the first movie Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock have starred in together since Speed (1994)- a movie in which they definitely had chemistry and (literally) burned up the screen. The writers of The Lake House were hoping to recreate that same chemistry between the actors and in my opinion they did... for the most part...
In this movie Bullock and Reeves share life together in a uniquely designed glass house on the lake. The only problem is they are living 2 years apart. The story starts when Kate Forster (Bullock), who is moving out of the lake house, leaves a note in the mailbox asking the new tenant to forward her mail. However, the person who receives the note is Alex Wyler (Reeves). He is not the NEW tenant, but the person who lived in the house before Kate did. Kate and Alex continue to communicate with each other through letters they each leave in the mailbox. Through the letters they realize they have a lot more in common than the space they used to live in and of course, they fall in love. The question is whether they will ever be able to meet, or if fate will continue to keep them apart.
I found this movie to be nicely done and quite romantic WHEN you don't think about the living 2 years apart/communication concept too much. When you do, a lot of things about the plot just don't make sense. I was also a bit disappointed by the ending- I was expecting more of a climax / more emotion. There is actually a scene in the middle of the movie when Alex's father dies that struck me as more emotionally charged than the ending of the movie. I was disappointed by that. I felt like I wanted to cry (yes, I like to do that sometimes...), but just couldn't. Overall a nice movie, but not enough punch at the end.

Very good movie to enjoy with someone
) It is a great movie to set down with your wife or girl friend and enjoy a movie to gather. It has enough of a twist to it to keep it interesting.

A Good Night to SnuggleThe Lake House fullfills the desire that love is timeless and if it's meant to be, neither time or life's circumstances can impede it. This is a great movie to watch when you have a day at home with your significant other.
