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

One of Sandra Bullock's best movies.
One of the best romantic dramas I've seen in a while.
The movie has an interesting plot, and the cast is great.
The movie has a backwards and forwards journey that takes you to where the characters have been and where they are going.
With a great BUT short ending the movie is ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF 2006. There should be more movies like this one.

Speed Reunion.
Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, who starred the 1994 action movie, Speed, are reunited in this Twilight Zone-type love story. Their characters are living in two seperate years and are living in the same house and are leaving letters in the same old-fashioned mailbox. The question is: Will they ever meet? A most unusual love story.
