The Lake House
What to say about this one? A film that is based on two characters communicating from different moments in time and starting a romance that is stronger than anything they can find in their own time frames. The film has a lot of goodwill, competent enough acting from Sandra Bullock
, Keanu Reeves, Christopher Plummer and Willeke van Amelrooy, holes in both the plot and in some scripting, which comes across as wooden and a rather pedestrian pace that is probably intentional as one of the themes of the film is patience and waiting.
Possibly, this is the aspect that vindicates a movie that doesn’t quite work romantically and does leave a feeling of missed opportunity. I didn’t dislike it but it all seemed a little forced and reheated.
