Lake House…. Well it is not the best thing I have ever seen but it is not at the bottom of the list either. I’ll try not to spoil it for everyone who might read this. This film is your typical boy meets girl but wouldn’t you know something is keeping them from being together. Que emotional rollercoaster. Seeing as I am not your stereotypical macho man, I like being led by the heart for 2 hours. So even though Nikki hated this film and ruined it for me (see below “pillow fight”), making it hard to be completely objective, I appreciated the attempt to create a more suspenseful plot line. If you don’t know Sandra Bullock is the girl and Keanu Reeves is the boy in this film. Similar to most roles, Bullock does a good job. On the other hand, Keanu Reeves actually breaks out of his robotic mold. In this film you actually see him struggle with his emotions. Brilliant! So I guess for all you out there that can actually let Calgon take you away and enjoy a movie as entertainment, I would recommend Lake House. I would classify it as your atypical chick flick, and in my book that’s a good thing.
