I had to switch it off after half an hour, as I found it really boring. The story is very slow, and after the initial surprise with the time travelling mail box, nothing else happens… : (

I really liked it! Although I thought Keanu mumbled a lot and it made it hard to understand what he was saying. I had to put the subtitles on! I thought the storyline was really nice, especially the note painted on the wall for Sandra when she goes on that walk

Gosh, I read other people’s entries and wonder if we saw the same movie. I loved it. The time travel was great in that they didn’t create any conundrums they couldn’t solve. Keanu does come across a bit wooden but I ended up loving his earnestness, and him, anyway. Sandra was just great. The movie really made me believe in fairy tales again. Really.

And it made me want to read that book, Persuasion. Next library trip.

Could have been better. The kissing scene was just a bit too long. It was like they were trying to feel in some time.

Minus Keanu Reeves and his acting, it was a pretty good movie.

Unless you take time travel seriously, in which case it was terribly offensive, but I don’t, and besides that isn’t the review I set out to write.

I haven’t been able to sleep this week, not really relevant to most movie reviews, but it is to this one, because, and reviewers don’t acknowledge this nearly enough, treating each consumed objects as though its qualities were innate, objective, and timeless, rather then purely subjective evaluations that come into being at the moment of consumption.

So, I haven’t been able to sleep this week, like really, barely at all, and on a week when you’re having trouble sleeping, and you need something not too challenging, not too boring, not too engaging, pleasant without being overly stimulating for the long cold hours from 2-4, this is the perfect movie.

Kind of niche really for such mainstream actors.

I enjoyed this movie, though there are a couple of points that bug me. One, the kiss shouldn’t have been discussed by Kate and her boyfriend until after it had happened in Alex’s time. Two, there was NO ATTIC when you looked at the lake house. Seriously, no attic.

Otherwise it was rather cute and entertaining.

The Lake House has a great concept, but it suffers from poor execution and Keanu Reeves. As long as you know this going in, it can still be enjoyable. The actual lake house is a beautiful piece of architecture and would probably be a lovely vacation home. The magic mailbox is just a perk.

Happy Accidents explores similar themes and I found it to be more enjoyable. The Fountain promises to fall into this category as well. I’ll be interested in seeing how it turns out.

I really enjoyed this film. It had an interesting concept. Really predictable though because I was able to predict it was him. If you’ve seen the film you know what I mean. Though a lot of people may not be able to predict it. I just somehow predict a lot of films that others cant figure out straight away. Bit of a cliche ending really.

I saw this on the plane back from Illinois. Neither the plot nor the acting were really that great. Plus, I have trouble taking Keanu Reeves seriously, he’s just so goofy.

Now, Speed, that’s the Keanu-and-Sandra movie I need to see. I’ve heard it’s not that great, but it’s too famous not to see it.
