Is "The Lake House" a good movie?

Answer 1

Egh-It was okay. It was a bit confusing, but not terrible difficult to figure out. I do really love Sanda Bullock, but it wasn't her best and it's so difficult to watch Keanu Reeves-his acting it rubbish most times. But-back to the movie.
It's a cute romantic(chick fick) movie. You should be able to survive it-just don't expect Oscar worthy performance. I'd give it a C+ or B-

Answer 2

The canines ran removed from Keanu interior the previous while he became leaving the Lake residing house related to a similar time Sandra Bullock's character became going to circulate into the Lake residing house. that could be a similar canines in the two their lives-merely 2 years older in Sandra's time-physique. Did any of you pay interest in any respect while observing this movie or are you used to movies that require no questioning by any potential?

Answer 3

Available for rent: impractical glass house. Sits on Lake Michigan. Stifling in summer. Freezing in winter. No privacy. Last tenant hasn’t moved out yet. New tenant has already moved in. If interested: see "The Lake House." Or not.
This new star-studded fantasy romance features Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves as two star-crossed, would-be lovers who face what seems to be the insurmountable obstacle of living two years apart. No, it doesn’t make much sense, and you never lose the feeling that the makers of "Siworae" (known elsewhere as "Il Mare"), the 2000 Korean film that "Lake House" is based on, did not intend such sappiness for its creation.
Bullock plays Kate Forester, a moribund Chicago physician who looks like she’s been doing too much self-medication for her depression. Reeves is Alex Wyler, an ambitious architect who’s stuck building crass condominiums. When he moves into the title glass house, he finds a letter from Kate with bits of information and advice about the dwelling.
Trouble is, the letter is dated two years in the future, July, 2006. They open a correspondence through the magic mail-box and discover what becomes their own time-warp chat room. As science fiction, time-jump nonsense, the mailbox serves the same function as Dennis Quaid’s radio in the similar themed "Frequency."
Such gimmicks can work well within a short viewing time frame, that is, until logic kicks in with infinite questions of "but what about . . .?" This fanciful trick can either be played for laughs, science fiction novelty (as in "Frequency"), or, as here, as a slow, treacly, insipid romance where the two principals write each other about their sunsets and long walks, punctuated with nuggets like: "Life is not a book Alex, and it can be over in a second" (actually, I was hoping she could tell us if the Mavericks win the NBA finals).
As Argentine director Alejandro Agresti ("Valentin") uncovers the life stories of Alex and Kate, the film’s two main metaphors kick in. For her, it’s Jane Austen’s "Persuasion," a classic tale of love lost and found. For him, it’s the house itself that works as a cold substitute for the house’s creator, Alex’s detached father (ubiquitous Christopher Plummer), a world famous architect who’s estranged from his son.
Because it looks like Alex and Kate might not be united, the film eventually devolves in overwrought melodrama, making it this summer’s equivalent of "The Notebook," or really any other sure-fire weep fest.
Those who can be made into caring about whether Kate and Alex actually do get together, however, will also have to check their brains at the door.

Answer 4

((rubbing eyes, says grudgingly)) It is VERY good........ If you have a bunch of hyper people in the room, and if you don't like happy endings (like me.... morbid, isn't it?) Don't watch it.

It is rather confusing, but I understood it. I think that was one of my favorite parts. The confusion. :)

So yes, if you mix together some confusingness, a love story (bleeeech.... ) and a bit of suspense, out will come "The Lake House".

Answer 5

yeah its really good........
i can't really say that its "top notch".
But the preformance by the 2 stars was great.the plot is kinda brand new.even if you've seen like this before,the way its directed makes it special.
but keanu reeves just keeps repeating him self over and over and over.he's always this sad,introvert,bleak guy.
i can't say that sandra doesn't always do the same thing,no she does.but you never get enough of her.
i like keanu but i wish that he could just trying doing "someone' new.
