September 30, 2009Reminiscent of Frequency, it?s a made for girls version. Keanu Reeves acting is laughable and at times it?s a little slow but I watched with my bird and we enjoyed it together in a romantic sort of way. Damn, I'm going soft!

July 8, 2009Fun times at the movies Emily, you will understand this movie someday! A really sweet movie that of course works out in the end.

March 8, 2009another of sandra bullocks newer ones. it's better than premonition. it's slow, even a bit tedious and mostly uneventful until the very end where everything clicks into place. once i'd seen it all the way through i thought it was a good idea. solid but nothing amazing. oh, and i ...( read more)

January 13, 2009A couple enter into an unlikely romance as they both inhabit the same house; only two years apart. This is one of those wish fulfillment fantasies that's easy to pick holes in but everyone seems to have a soft spot for; think a romantic version of Frequency. The whole magic mailb...( read more)

January 12, 2009An unapologetically cheesy love story that I won't apologise for enjoying, though perhaps my past-self would have enjoyed it more. It follows a simple sci-fi premise of two people striking up a correspondence despite being separated by time, 2 years, if not space, the Lake House....( read more)

November 18, 2009As expected, The Lake House is no more than a slice of sugary, unengaging movie-star romance, except even its profound mediocrity is short-circuited by those loopy narrative turns. Audience members demanding anything remotely clever or surprising are likely to dry up in their sea...( read more)

Those wishing to suppress real-life traumas may submit to the deliriously stupid romantic time-travel drama The Lake House -- I did and had a jolly time. full review

I couldn't spoil the plot if I wanted to, since I have no idea how it all ties together. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
A pretty soap bubble of a movie. It's lovely to look at and calming to watch, but don't try to touch it -- it just might pop and vanish, right there in your hand. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
The film moves toward a spooky coincidence that canny viewers will predict in the first act. I wish I hadn't; it killed all the film's suspense and much of its dewy seduction. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Enough of the plot and its paradoxes. What I respond to in the movie is its fundamental romantic impulse. It makes us hope these two people will somehow meet. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
There is still chemistry between Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves, but a heavy dose of Hollywood metaphysics keeps them apart for most of this wondrously illogical time-travel romance.

April 15, 2009" there could have been no two hearts so open, no taste so similar, no feelings so in unison...." the best movie i watch....i realy loved.........

January 18, 2009This is very simply a lovely film on every level, from dialog, to direction, to cinematography, to consistently outstanding acting performances across the board. The delicately-embedded sheer decency of this film makes it a totally recommendable film for persons of all ages, although I'm guessing that most really young ones would get bored and fidgety before too long.

November 27, 2007Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock put together in a romantic movie?a must see...the movie really made me cry,though some plots were closed to impossible anyway its a movie..True love can only be achieved through the test of time...its worth the waiting than nothing at all.lol

October 14, 2007I was at first intrigued b/c it was another movie w/ Reeves and Bullock (remember the movie "speed" anyone?) but then i found out that it was more of a romance film, and i must say Reeves and Bullock's chemistry was better in they're first film together... but anyway-plot is great, kinda boring after watching it too many times but great the first few
