Watch The Lake House For Free

Waste of time

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Pefrect for a slow, quiet winter evening.It could've been a lovely Christmas movie, one of the best actually, but the final result is just another St. Valentine's one. St. Valentine's Day is an artificially made up holiday for me anyways and I personally do not celebrate it. If you love someone you love them and show it to them year round, every single day, not just on holidays.Now imagine - pristine snow, the lake house, a chimney, smoke going out of the chimney, qietly and peacefully falling snow, a Christmas tree inside or outside the house, 2 people on something soft and warm in front of the fireplace, cuddling , 2 glasses of wine, cooking together, looking into the eyes of each other, candles on top of the fireplace and/or around the house, Christmas lights around the windows and/or around the house, (eventually having a bath together), dancing slowly, a bit of kissing, ... did I say looking into the eyes of each other?... oh, yeah!.... that's a romantic setting for me.All actors' performances were pretty good. The guy who played Keanu's brother was really cute too and could've had a bit more significance/presence in the movie. There could've been some development between Mona and Shawn ; they seem cuite cute together. Good acting, all of therm, at least in my opinion. The slow dance together (Keanu and Sandra B.) was quite sensual. I really liked it; so warm and moving. Really romantic.A movie with a great potential, not realized.

Does not hold water!Or as another reviewer said, more holes than Swiss cheese

I love and respect Keanu, i follow him as well. Movie is awesome beautiful story , beautiful movie ,Sandra is just awesome, acting is superb.The leaves , the breeze and the lake house with snow ,so romantic with a tragic ending .But the movie started from where it ended.Beautiful song ,overall the movie is very nice ,one should watch this movie.

It's tough after reading negative User Reviews for me to accept that critics still expect movies to follow the rules of science or the known facts of the universe. I completely agree with them that a movie has to make some sort of sense or be structured in a manner where you don't feel as though you just wasted 2 hours of your life that you'll never get back in return. But, I simply watch films to temporarily get away from the normal conventions of society and the real world, so I don't expect too much prior.The idea of two complete strangers communicating thru time via mailbox in front of a Lake House is rather peculiar and for you realists, merits absolutely no logic in its finest sense. Living and connecting thru letters separated by 2 years, while realizing they're both falling in love within some unknown void of space doesn't make it that much easier to believe as well. Also, I'm not even going into detail about Keanu Reeves' acting ability, knowing that the last time he reunited with Sandra Bullock was 12 years before their big break, blockbuster movie - Speed. I'm sure you all remember him winning the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1994. WINK.But, somehow and somewhere, in the imaginary land of Motion Pictures, the movie works. IMO, it's a solid picture, with the giant boulder being lifted by Sandra Bullock's genuine acting skills. Her ability to combine and express an array of emotions in a realistic and believable way even challenges Keanu Reeves to raise the bar on his own artistic work as well. Not the absolute best chemistry between both actors, but the audience is sold and it's a wonderful movie to watch with someone you care about.For me, ridiculous movie plots can be clearly explained. It might seem difficult to fathom, but I just tend to think of it as some kind of divine intervention, the forces of the earth uniting for that one single chance in time to occur, or a giant twist of unknown magical fate. It makes me want to believe that it can happen. A mailbox, telephone booth, or a hot tub, whatever works. It just allows the film to easily move along and I'm biting my nails in hopes that the ending is as believable as humanly possible.BTW, this is an adaptation of the 2000 Korean movie - il Mare (aka Siworae), which means "sea" in Italian. It stars Ji Hyun (Gianna) Jun and Jung Jae Lee. Both credible actors with much better professional rapport between the two, in comparison to the lead actors of this remake. The original version is superior, regardless that it has been 17 years since its original release. The plot is almost exactly the same with slight variations and a definite "must see TV" if you enjoyed the Lake House or if you happen to be a Korean cinema junkie.IMDb UR#1 (1/25/17)
