2/4  The Lake House
The Lake House is sort of a remake of Sleepless In Seattle, only through out time. This film is romantic, but the entire film doesn't make sense, it's slow paced and the twos leads(while they have good chemistry together), they do not shar... (read full)

3/4  A loyal fan
I like this movie, but that probably had a lot to do with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves, who are favorites of mine. I could watch anything with Sandra Bullock in it and like it despite any flaws the film may contain. Many people complain... (read full)

  Korean movies really rock so Americans copy them.
I'm curious to see how the American version of the South-Korean movie Il Mare manages to work out. Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock are very good and nice actors so I hope they do their best in this one like they did in Speed. I can tell yo... (read full)

3/4  Nice and watchable
I went to this one with very low expectations, but was pretty pleasant at the end. The script is very very poor, but you have an easy going movie with very nice done visuals. Watchable if you like romance. Forget it if you look for "sci-f... (read full)

0.5/4  The Lake House Quick Review
This movie made absolutely no sense. One person is two years ahead of the other. They're writing letters in this wierd time gap in this weird time portal house. They met before but somehow they didn't move in time together. What? No.

2.5/4  The Lake House Quick Review
A perfectly respectable romantic drama confined by its unlikely time-warp plot device. Final Grade: B-

1/4  The Lake House Quick Review
i was so incredibly confused at the end of this movie.

1/4  The Lake House Quick Review
While this movie was pathetic, it could have been much worse. Sandra and Keanu are reunited and hopefully they never will be again! But if so, so what? They have ok chemistry.

3/4  The Lake House Quick Review
Huge plot holes and a lack of innovation keep this movie back. But, I am a sucker for time gap movies. If you are looking for typical romance OR a typical scifi, stay away! But, if you enjoy the combination along with some fantasy, see it!

4/5 Suspend your disbelief and pay a visit to the Lake House
  by Darren Harrison (Washington D.C.)
The movie "The Lake House" is certainly a movie that challenges you to suspend your disbelief but it seems a majority of people seem incapable of doing so for this movie, yet are able to believe that a mystical force controls all things in the Universe (Star Wars), that a man can fly (Superman) or, gasp, that a truck can turn into a robot (Transformers).
For me this movie is pure fantasy and I have no problem taking it for what it is - namely a romantic movie with a supernatural element. I don't sit there and try and figure out how or why the mailbox works the way it does just like I don't sit there and wonder how the Enterprise reaches warp speed (Star Trek) or the man outraces the Sun (Mummy Returns).
The plot is basically a love story and rather than two people falling in love over the internet and e-mail they instead do it the old fashioned way and fall in love through snail mail. However the device of the time difference means that the two cannot simply meet face-to-face in a traditional date. The plot reminded me of a similar plot device in a TV movie I saw where two lovers corresponded the same way across centuries with the letters magically appearing in an old cabinet.
Take the movie for what it is and pick up this enjoyable, charming romantic movie on Blu-ray for under $10 (as of Nov. 13, 2009). The audio and video quality are far from steller, but they are better than on an upconverted DVD.

5/5 Best Movie ever!
  by Nancy Styn
Can't say any more than this is the best movie I've ever seen. I'm ordering it in Blu-Ray cause I want to make sure I always have it.

4/5 Romantic fantasy
  by Ms. Wilma Hernandez
It's one of my favorite romantic fantasies. Reeves and Bullock are perfect of a romance that exists in two alternate time periods one in the past, the other in the present as they converge to a rapidly emerging future. Can't reveal the ending or it will spoil the story, but it leaves you with a wondering sense of the power of choices and coincidences in our lives.

5/5 PEOPLE PLZ READ!
  by Victor A. Noh (USA)
The Lake House is a FANTASY romantic movie! Keyword people: FANTASY. All the things in the movie where 2 people fall in love across time is impossible of coarse. But if you stop analysing the movie or have questions about it such as " that is not possible" you will not understand the movie. The main thing about this movie is that 2 people are lonely and have finally met their love of their life and want to be together!You already know that this movie is Fantasy so therefore, dont be asking questions, just see it and pretend that those fantasy things do not excist. In the end this movie is so lovable and is worth buying and seen it over and over again. Dont ask questions because they will never be answered! its fantasy! just watch the movie period! Dont be stupid spending time hating this movie cuz its impossible to understand or know it cant be for reals!!!!!!!! keyword: Fantasy!

4/5 Great plot, but...
  by Rosalie F. Robinson (Tacoma, WA USA)
I'll never understand why directors take a great plot, good acting, and all-round good movie and feel they need to stick in people living together who aren't married and camera shots of a woman's chest! Those two events if deleted from the movie would have had NO impact whatsoever. Good grief...is it simply that movie viewers today are too stupid to enjoy a movie for its quality alone? I don't think so.
