Reviews
Just when we think we've come to terms with its brand of poorly-plotted silliness it ups the ante once more.
The Lake House demands a serious suspension of disbelief, but if you accept it as a romantic bit of nonsense, it has its pleasures.
The last time Bullock and Reeves were together on screen the result was Speed. This should have been entitled Stop.
A movie that's trying with all its might to be an earnest, poignant relationship drama, yet it fails at each and every turn thanks to zero chemistry between its leads and the complete absence of a coherent plot.
A compelling idea delicately handled and neatly played, especially by Bullock. It just lacks the emotional directness to turn the good into the great.
If you're not sucked in by the romance of the story, there's a chance you'll find it laughably awful, thanks to poorly written lines and Keanu's delivery of the world's least convincing sneeze.
Reunites the stars of Speed for a film that's beautifully shot but about as unspeedy as humanly possible.
I can't believe that even the most rabid chick-flick masochists wouldn't gag on it.
Maybe I'm just overly romantic or sentimental or just plain naive, but I probably liked The Lake House more than I should have.
Time-travel films often bring up a lot of questions, and they often fall apart with thoughtful scrutiny, but that's part of the fun. However, one shouldn't be wondering that the only benefit these two have with this magical mailbox connection is that they
Endless implausibility, cheesy dialogue, and the inert personalities of its charisma-zapped leads conspire to doom this chilly magical mailbox love sham. Nice soundtrack, though.
Like all good romantic movies there's a beautiful house on the lake and a cuddly dog. Good dialogue, great direction, sweet cinematography and good acting -- even by Keanu.
An intriguing idea. Too bad the asteroid sized temporal paradox ruins the end of the flm.
Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock bring their respective talents to this badly fumbled attempt at a supernatural romantic comedy.
It refreshingly becomes less about time travel and more about the choices we make and the chances we miss.
Reeves y Bullock no interpretan el papel de su vida, sin embargo cumplen con las expectativas del público en un producto ligero de fin de semana.
