I went to Lake House reluctantly--I usually find both Bullock and Reeves a little cold (although they've been occasionally very strong in a few other movies, to be fair). But this is one of the best-paced movies I've seen in the... Full review

This would have to be one of the best films I have ever seen and I am not a romantic movie kind of person. It tests your imagination and your ability to let go of a common pretense of how things... Full review

If I read one more negative review of this movie that takes it to task for being "implausible," I'm afraid I will lose it completely.I have to ask myself what these same critics (assuming they're old enough to remember it)... Full review

This is a touching, well-acted, and beautiful looking film. Sandra Bullock and Keannu Reeves have great chemistry together and the supporting actors are very competent. The story is absorbing and interesting, and although its a time-travel fantasy, it's logical within... Full review

This was great popcorn fare with your significant other! Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves are once again a great on screen couple, although they weren't often on screen together. Lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing and enough... Full review

Critics Reviews


Austin Chronicle
As a romance, The Lake House is refreshingly low on melodrama, perhaps largely due to the subtle technique of Argentinean director Agresti (Valentn) . As the final moments wrap up, one cant help but contemplate the film thats repeatedly referenced as an icon of romance throughout The Lake House , Alfred Hitchcocks masterpiece Notorious . ...

The Lake House comes up with certain half-considered excuses, mainly that Kate prefers the safety of the distance rather than an actual meat-and-potatoes relationship. ... Full Review

The Wylers are a family of architects and the architectural style of the Lake House is striking. This is not one of those lame movies about destiny. If you like this kind of film, see it quickly. ... Full Review

Reeling Reviews
And yet, the romance is so touching, the emotions expressed by the leads so real, that it is a difficult film to not enjoy. The film no sooner starts than it plays a bad card. ... Full Review

The Cinema Source
The Lake HouseReview By: Michael M. DanceMichaelDance@TheCinemaSource.com The Lake House is a sweet, even poetic love story with a plot structure that's way too distracting for its own good. The characters were real and warm, and they dealt with the elements of the fantastic in a way that felt convincing. ... Full Review

It's not that THE LAKE HOUSE, based on the Korean film SIWORE, is an insipid bit of romantic fluff, it's just that it drags by much like the two-year gulf between our chronologically crossed would-be lovers. ... Full Article
