DVD Reviews of The Lake House (Widescreen Edition)
DVD Review: The Lake House
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen this movie in the past and did enjoy it and wanted to see it again. This is the reason I purchased it. It was different, not your run of the mill romance.DVD Review: Great movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I really loved that this movie was connected with Jane Austen's Persuasion.
Big Jane fan.
I really enjoyed watching Keanu and Sandra act together. I know Keanu gets a bad rap for being totally devoid of emotion or character. But this time was different. He was in character and was able to portray the love and lost important to this role. A+
DVD Review: Time and space are like an accordion
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a charming, romantic love story. I think if you spend too much energy examining the timelines, the "but, if..." questions will ruin it for you. As The Doctor says, "People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect... but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly... timey-wimey ... stuff." Simply allow the characters to tug at your heart. DVD Review: Almost great
Summary: 4 Stars
A lot of critics of this film focus on the time paradoxes and implausibility of the plot, but if you can put that aside, this is a pretty good movie. In defense of the time silliness, I would say that first of all, the difference in time is only 2 years which makes the whole thing much more plausible. It doesn't require actual time travel for the characters to be together or be more or less the same age. Second, the plot device involving time doesn't get sillier and sillier as the movie goes on. It ends up being one small implausible aspect in an otherwise believable movie. As far as the actual romantic aspect of the movie goes, I would say there is definite chemistry, but the whole thing falls just short of being great. It's watchable and you really want the two main characters to get together somehow. Somehow the whole thing just seems to lack a bit of spark here and there. Maybe it's because both characters seem a little too depressed. In any case, this is a workable romantic film that's worth seeing. DVD Review: Good but stressfull film
Summary: 4 Stars
What do you get when you cross Jack Finney's classic short story "The Love Letter" and Richard Matheson's "Bid Time Return" (AKA "Somewhere in Time") And you get The Lake House. A interesting story of a man and woman who meet through a time traveling mailbox, sort of.
Well done story yes it gets a bit dripy at times but we enjoyed it with the exception of we had figured out a major plot point fairly early(will not divulge it here)which had us stressing out and annoyed at the possibility. THankfully the movie rewarded us instead of disapointed!
Worth seeing, Bullock and Reeves do indeed have a strong chemistry I did feel for the character of Morgan though...
Description of The Lake House (Widescreen Edition)
A lonely doctor (Sandra Bullock) who once occupied an unusual lakeside home begins exchanging love letters with its newest resident, a frustrated architect (Keanu Reeves). When they discover that they're actually living two years apart, they must try to unravel the mystery behind their extraordinary romance before it's too late.Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock pair up again in what could be described as the anti-Speed: The Lake House, a sweet, relaxed-paced, whimsical romance. When Alex Wyler (Reeves, The Matrix) moves into an unusual glass house on stilts over a lake, he discovers a note from the previous tenant in the mailbox--but no one's lived in the house for years. He replies and soon discovers that he's corresponding with a doctor named Kate Forster (Bullock, Miss Congeniality) who's writing from two years in the future. Their correspondence turns romantic and their paths cross in unexpected ways, but when they try to truly connect, danger looms. Though the plot of The Lake House sounds potentially static, the movie is skillfully structured and, despite some truly awful dialogue, will exert an emotional pull on anyone willing to embrace the device of the time-travelling mailbox. What the movie really demonstrates, though, is the genuine rapport between Bullock and Reeves; Reeves, though handsome, has a wooden presence--but in his few scenes with Bullock, his stiffness transforms into a palpable yearning. On-screen chemistry is slippery and hard to define, but these two have it. --Bret Fetzer
