She's not likable enough and is not worth waiting years to be with. Onward.the real pain in the ass is the Kate character annoying the hell out of me. Again, I'm not holding this against either film since you just have to roll with the punches. The amount of paradoxes in both entries are mind-blowing with "Il Mare" defying the laws of physics to boot. I'm not holding this against either film, however, you better forget trying to wrap your brain around how time works in this context. While there is a lot to appreciate in the story, it's hard to ignore the negatives that drag down the experience. And, to the film's credit, there are a few ideas that do improve upon "Il Mare " for example, the relationship between Alex, his dad, and the brother were well done, enhancing aspects left empty in the original. The drama between the characters is the appropriate level without going overboard with the cornball antics. Keanu Reeves, as Alex, is okay too.I guess.better than his usual shenanigans that's for sure. Yes, of course the two, presumably, live happily ever after-I mean they did risk the destruction of the space-time continuum just to be together after all! I've already rattled on about Sandwich Bullock yet she does a decent job in her role. There is also a slow buildup which makes the resolution that much more satisfying when the two finally get together. Anyway.I like how the two connect through written correspondences since that gives it a timeless vibe.

In fact, the movie should be called The Mailbox since that's what is really getting used, but that probably sounded retarded even on paper. Who knows, maybe it was the damn doggie causing everything. We are never told what creates this bridge across space and time, but the way the story progresses makes you forget about that. This is where light sci-fi/fantasy elements come into play to spice things up. Let's be real, most people want to feel like their romantic companion is somehow destined or that you're meant for one another. Trying to create a meaningful romance through storytelling is often difficult without adding fate along the way. What works is the general premise itself. I don't mind Sandy as an actress, but her character, Kate, is such a little tease bitch that it practically ruins everything! Okay, okay, she's no Julia Roberts here on the hate meter. Unfortunately, there is one, huge flaw: Sandy "World's Most Beautiful Woman(?!)" Bullock. I am a sucker for this kind of beyond time and space, cheesy romance, and "The Lake House" delivers the goods.
As for this film's particular 's actually pretty good in its own right. It was tricky deciding which one to review first since obviously "Il Mare" came first, but the Korean film is infinitely better, therefore, I want to spend more time comparing differences in that review (so stick around for that shit!). First order of business, this is a remake of a Korean film called "Il Mare" which I will, of course, review as well. However, it's chick flick month so you know what that means.
Review: With such an innocuous title like "The Lake House," you might think for a second this could be a horror movie. Plot Summary: Two people discover they can communicate across time and space by leaving letters at a house they both once owned.
