The Lake House
Director: Alejandro Agresti
Year: 2006
Stars: Sandra Bullock, Keanu Reeves
It's entirely possible that by now I had watched one too many romance movies, as I came to this a little uninspired. But I was still ill and still didn't want to watch those gory horror movies, so thought this had to be better than staring at a black screen.
Well, it was a step up from a black screen. The premise itself is an interesting one - a woman moves out of a house two years after a man moves in, but he gets the letter she intends for the new owner. So the two continue to correspond, but are two years apart. Apart from this, however, the film is pretty much your standard love story. Couple meet (even if only by post), couple go through lots of hurdles to be together ... you can guess the rest.
It's not a bad movie by any means. There just isn't really anything special to recommend it. If you like romances, and don't mind another, this will probably keep you entertained for an hour or two.
Rating: 3 out of 5
