The Lake House (2006)


"One man I can never meet. To him, I would like to give my whole heart"


A lonely doctor who once occupied an unusual lakeside home begins exchanging love letters with its former resident, a frustrated architect. Living two years apart in the same house, they must try to unravel the mystery behind their extraordinary romance before it's too late. As they correspond back and forth, creating an intimate relationship through words, they discover they have a connection that bridges the two year gap. When two people "connect" the bond between them can be so pure and simple as to stir hearts in heaven. When they connect in all the right places at all the wrong times, heaven weeps for broken hearts.
To heal these broken hearts, heaven breaks time. Lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing and enough closeups to satisfy all.. Christopher Plummer was an interesting supporting actor and as always commanded the screen. The were a lot of interesting supporting characters, there was jack the dog, and of course the Lakehouse and the mailbox. This was great popcorn fare with your significant other! Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reaves are once again a great on screen couple, even though weren't often on screen together. Don't get too caught in the plausibility aspect, just enjoy it as a romantic fantasy, we all need some escape now and then. This is a really great film, and well worth multiple viewings.
