The Lake House – Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves

Posted on 2007 under Latest Reviews, Romance

Speed co-stars Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves re-team for romance in director Alegandro Agrestias remake of the Korean film Siworae, exploring a mysterious mailbox that somehow bridges time. After moving away from her peaceful lakeside home, a lonely physician (Bullock) begins writing letters to the frustrated architect (Reeves) who now occupies the building, only to discover that they are lining two years apart.

Just to start out, I don't really pay a lot of attention to romance movies. I am not a romance buff. But I really enjoyed this movie. It was a surprise hit in my book. Not only because of my feeling towards romance movies but because of how consistent was the story line. From beginning to end I was embraced with the interaction between Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. The story line had me thinking the whole time, how could I have them to meet. How could Keanu convince his present day love that she has already fallen in Love with him in the future? But that would not be. There would be no way Keanu could convince Sandra of his love. Keanuâ€™s present day Sandra would probably think that he was insane or was a crazy stalker.

I don't want to give too much away but this movie is definitely a movie to see. It is even a movie that children could see, although they may not be able to grasp a future and past love concept. One thing for sure, this movie does not have any risky scenes with skimpy cloths or the infamous nudity scenes that tend to pop up in a majority of movies today. Go out and rent this movie today. You will be pleasantly pleased.
