Review of The Lake House (2006) by Angela A — 18 Feb 2010

Entirely predictable from start to finish. Also had difficulty identifying with the time difference, the weird time warps that should (but don't) result from their behaviour and the stupid things they both do (like why does he put his first letter to her in the letterbox anyway? Why didn't he post it to her address?). Many moments that were so glaringly unrealistic in film that it would have been far better to read this as a book.

However, for all its faults, it was still not a bad movie. There were some great moments where the acting and the directing was really quite good. Plus, it's a love story. They all rank somewhere in the "Oh, well I guess I liked it a bit" zone.
