Th Lake House is subtle in approach and although it lets itself flow at it's own pace - there was not a dull moment.
If you want lots of action - this is not what you're looking for.
But if you want a moving story, with an intriguing character study and wonderful romantic story of friendship and love then look no further.
I do not like soppy love stories so don't get the wrong end of the stick here - this film is not soppy - it's moving and touching and makes you think about life, the people in your life, missed chances, and connections.
People often complain about Reeve's "wooden acting" - I have to say - I don't know what they are talking about because I think he is a fine actor and he's really wonderful in this. People should give him more credit - his turn in the Lake House might well be one of my favorites of his. Sandra Bullock is also a wonderful actress and her talents should not be taken for granted - it is always a delight to watch her on screen and her turn here as Kate is sensitive and charming and also real.
There's no question here when it comes to Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves on-screen chemistry - the two are always a wonderful pair ever since Speed and here they work well together once again.
If you're looking for a kind of drama with some touching elements and real human story then check it out. I guarantee you this may well become one of your favorite films.
For a fresh story, script and chemistry-filled acting I give this 8/10 because as a plus it is also totally re-watchable - think I've probably seen it over a dozen times.
