"Tell me if this sounds at all familiar: a down-on-her-luck doctor falls for a manual labor guy, only to have their romance interrupted by some bizarre twists. "The Lake House" is a movie we´ve all seen many times before and, at the same time, it´s also a movie we´ve never seen prior. When Alex (Keanu Reeves) moves into a gorgeous house on a lake (hence the name of the movie, "The Lake House"), he begins to correspond with Kate (Sandra Bullock), a doctor who has just moved from the home. She has a simple request, at first: please forward her mail to a new address in Chicago if any should get through the Post Office. He agrees to and, through their letters, the two learn a very eerie truth: they are living roughly two years apart from each other; she is in the year 2006 and he in 2004. In the course of their correspondence, they slowly learn they have been a part of each other´s lives for quite some time, from kissing at her birthday party to the aforementi ... "

"By Tricia Olszewski A Prairie Home Companion was created for—and by—the kind of people who still appreciate the olde-fashioned longing in lyrics such as “Come and sit by my side if you love me/Do not hasten to bid me adieu.” That couplet, from trad-folk number “Red River Valley,” closes the film, a reflection on nostalgia and the end of things beloved written by Garrison Keillor and directed by Robert Altman. From the former, you’d expect as much. From the latter, you have to wonder: Is this a part of the American experience he really needs to be bothering with? Based on Keillor’s identically titled and, at 31 years, still-running NPR program, the loose narrative involves the final episode of a modern-day radio variety show, touching on soured love affairs and unspooling a significant subplot about death. It’s impossible not to consider that this may be the 81-year-old Altman’s swan song, as well—Paul Thomas Anders ... "

"THE LAKE HOUSE *PG for some language and a disturbing image.1 hr. 38 min.written by: David Auburn (screenplay), Jina Yeoh & Eun-Jeong Kimproduced by: Doug Davison & Roy Leedirected by: Alejandro AgrestiTake two mediocre actors who rarely take risks anymore and give them a lame remake script and see if the sparks fly. Well, they don't fly, they don't even spark. You gotta be an obsessive fan of both Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves to like this film, let alone stay awake through it. Someone thought that because these two were in 1994's ";Speed" that they had chemistry. Wrong! If ya can't guess the endi "

"I turned this movie on as background noise for email and found it surprisingly pleasant. Beside being the obvious romance clichés, The Lake House was relatively quiet and highlighted vaguely nostalgic music that was comforting. Or at least allowed me to follow along while checking email – sort of. The plot had some strange, unexplainable twists any time-bending fiction requires. Still, it was cute, and if you're in the mood for a quiet, romantic film with a 60s-esque soundtrack, give it a try. "

"how much can love do? can it defeat time?can it bring back your dearest one? the lake house depicts this fact..it is first a love story than a science fiction(lol) When Chicago doctor Kate Forster (Bullock) vacates the spectacular lake house she's been renting for a few months, she leaves the next tenant a welcome note. When architect Alex Wyler (Reeves) arrives at the lake house, he finds the note left by Kate. The odd thing, however, is the date on the letter: it's 2006. For Alex, 2004 has just begun and the house has been abandoned for years. He thinks it's a practical joke, and he leaves the "trespasser" a note. When Kate, needing a brief break from the stress in Chicago, returns to the lake house, she finds the note, and she writes back.Soon, they realize that they exist in two different times, exactly two years apart. Their only connection with each other is the magical mailbox and the letters they leave for each other. Through their letters, they start to get to ... "

"What a wonderfuly weird, crazy, lovely, amazingly well done movie. I didn't expect much from this going into it, but I am just so pleasantly suprised by how much I liked it. I am left wondering, if you give time a chance, will it bring you the person you were meant to spend the rest of your life with? Realizing that there is no way that this situation could ever be possible, I think that the real story behind it is that if you love someone, in time fate will bring you together, again. Overall Score: 5 Stars (i.e. I will be adding this to my DVD collection) "

"See the Fantasy group for the most details. Considering the thought I'm putting into it, I sure am glad there is a happy ending to this movie. But I'm still confused. Why does this magic thing even start working? I feel like major plot points were neglected and left too much to the viewers' interpretation. The film is based on a book; I wonder if the book explained everything? The rating: I'm giving it a 7 out of 10. The overall work of the film is shaky (it's confusing, it's disjointed, it's vague, it leaves too much to the imagination) but I felt entertained/warm-hearted about the movie. It's better than a 6 (cute) because of the satisfying ending and the fact that the film was not cheesy, but I can't quite give it an 8 because I'm still trying to understand the story; I couldn't suspend my disbelief long enough to forget that in no way was this romance explained or this magical mailbox explained. It's kind of creepy, too, if you think about it, getting random letters fr ... "
