DVD Synopsis

Two people develop an unusual relationship that bends the boundaries of time and place in this romantic fantasy. Kate Forster (Sandra Bullock) is a doctor who lives in a beautiful home by a lake. Forced to move elsewhere, she requests that any correspondence that arrives at the lake house be passed on to her new address. To her surprise, she soon receives a romantic note from Alex Burnham (Keanu Reeves), an architect who lives in the cottage she once called home. However, a look at the postmark on the letter reveals that he lived at the home two years before she did, and that somehow they've come in contact with one another through a space in time. A remake of Lee Hyun-seung's acclaimed Korean romance Il Mare (aka Siworae), The Lake House was the first American production from Argentinean filmmaker Alejandro Agresti; the supporting cast includes Christopher Plummer, Dylan Walsh, and Lynn Collins. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

If you are going to watch this movie, there are some things you should be aware of...

First: It will probably confuse you a bit the first time through. So you will be "forced" to watch it a dozen or so times. :D

Second: After you have watched it a dozen or so times, you will begin to see holes in the movie. The holes may or may not drive you crazy, depending on what kind of a person you are. If you are the scientific/brainy type... you'll go nuts.

Third: Don't watch it with guys. They see the holes in the movie the first time through. Right at the romantic, happy moment your guy-friend will say, "actually they wouldn't have met after that cuz..."

So in other words: this movie is a nice chick-flick. Has a happy ending. Has good actors in it (although they do act a bit cheezy as someone else mentioned) and is worth watching.
But you will see the holes in the movie, if you can overlook those you will love this show. If you can't overlook them... then post it here and get a credit for it! :)

Beautiful Love Story. Watch it. The acting is a bit cheezy, not anymore that Sleepless in Seatle or An Affair to Remember.
