Re: Official Movie Review Thread!

Well,
I went to see THE LAKE HOUSE, starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock.

4 out of 5 stars:
I thought this was a really beautiful movie. It does not contain overt sex, violence or harshness of any kind. It is a lyrically poetic film, and although it is supposed to be a fantasy, if you have a romantic bone in your body, you can't help but be reeled in by the performances of both it's stars, which I found to be fairly realistic. It might be a bit slow if you perfer action films and/or comedies. Since I'm a sloppy sentimentalist, I was not bored. It was not a real slick film, but I loved it.
SPOILER ALERT:
If you find concepts such as time travel (well, not really, hard to explain) and romantic predestiny silly, you might want to give this one a miss.
The basic premise is that Sandra Bullock is a doctor and Keanu Reeves is in construction/archetecture, and they are linked through a house, but seperated by two years. I don't want to give anything else away. Oh, and they have a dog. A really cute dog. Go see it.
