Casts:

Sandra Bullock as Kate Forster

Keanu Reeves as Alex Wyler

Christopher Plummer as Simon Wyler

Dr. Kate Forster (Bullock), is a lovely and lonely single woman who left a message for the next tenant of the lake house she’d just vacated asking him to forward her mail. When architect Alex Wyler (Reeves) moves in and reads the note, he believes the woman is a fool because of the fact that he was the first one to live in the house near the lake. They began to write each other mails through the realization that they were two years apart and the only thing that connects them to the real world is a little mail box located outside of the lake house. Here starts the story of two people who found love at a different time and finds hope if love can ever find a way for them to meet.

The team up of Reeves and Bullock in the story also gives a whole lot of excitement because of the fact that they’ve been on a movie together (Speed), twelve years before they came up with the movie Lake House. It excites me to watch them again together on the big screen. The last movie I’ve watched that they were together on a film, and compared to their new one, all I can say is, they still got it!

            This is an interesting movie for all ages. It’s a movie full of exciting scenes which will take you to a higher level of eagerness on what will happen to the characters in the story. It’s like a roller coaster ride full of emotions to feel while watching the whole movie. It never shows any malicious acts or discriminations on all people said in the story. For sure people will love it the same way I did while watching the movie. Two thumbs up. It will sure give the audience even a single drop of tear to carry on.
