Critics Consensus

The plot of The Lake House is a little too convoluted, and the film fails to pull off the sweeping romance it aims for.

I can't believe that even the most rabid chick-flick masochists wouldn't gag on it.

Bullock holds her half of the movie up well, proving that she can do subdued just as well as sunny.

I have always felt that both Ms. Bullock's patented expressions of anguish and Mr. Reeves' stoical minimalism have been somewhat underrated.

2.5/5

Supposedly letter-bound, the couple's conversations come across more like instant messaging, while Kate's lack of investigative skills or inquisitiveness will appal even the most half-hearted of romantic stalkers.

What's depressing is what Hollywood does to perfectly good foreign originals. And Il Mare is no exception.

It's insanely a downfall compared to the Korean original. It's Keanu Reeves as wooden he could be.

Esse é um dos meus filmes de romance favorito, ele consegue ser amargo e doce ao mesmo tempo. E a química maravilhosa entre Reeves e Bullock é a cereja do bolo.

Is it a very convoluted movie?: Yes. Is it still worth watching and one of the best romantic movies out there?: YES! Just turn off your mind, let yourself get transported into the movie, and enjoy. If not, you will be scratching your head all day. This is also one of Keanu's best acted roles. Let's be honest, although i am a huge fan, he isn't a great actor; it's just that some roles fit him really well and i couldn't see other actor playing that character (like Neo and John Wick for example). But he was almost unrecognizable in this movie. He had alot of personality and all, when tipically he is very monotone like.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
