I saw this today and although it was very predictable and not quite the tear jerker I was hoping for (I was in the mood for a good movie cry), I really enjoyed it. I love watching Sandra Bullock and Keanue Reeves together. It kinda makes you wonder why they aren't a real life couple.

I think that there isn't strong chemistry between them...it's "okay", not the type that makes me think like you, NT. Ah, the time paradox conumdrum. But a good date movie. Without violence, without swearing, without nudity. Heck, it's only PG (not even PG-13). You could cry if you want....a different ending would have made it automatic. 'squeek'

Sandra Bullock looked spectacularly beautiful in this movie, she seems to look better as she gets older. And I always have a soft spot for Keanu. I felt weird at the ending, it didn't seem to finish things for me, somehow when I left I still felt the other possible ending had happened. But I liked the movie, and their chemistry. It was more like they were soul mates than lovers, which I think was partly the intention, but added to why the ending didn't gel so well with me.

Kona, considering who Sandra married, Keanu probably is not the one for her. They've done two other movies together and are very good friends (Keanu was her escort at one event after she married) so I think their familiarity with each other shows on the screen. Keanu did say he really enjoyed the kiss. Kitt, I did feel that same weirdness at the end but I think it was because I wanted it go on just a little while longer.

Saw the movie last night and I liked it. I didn't expect to so it was a nice surprise that it wasn't the bomb I was expecting and that may be why I'm giving it more credit than it may deserve. It reminded me a lot of Frequency (Dennis Quaid movie). Not the action thriller of Frequency but the two time periods occurring and affects the people were having on what was happening or supposed to happen at the time.

I want to see this even though it's a chick flick and I'll probably cry. Maybe I'll wait for video. I love Sandra and Keanu.

I loved this movie and was satisfied with the ending. I loved the fact that it was a "quiet" movie and at the end you were holding your breath just a little HOPING that it would be a good result. I knew how I wanted it to end but I wasn't exactly sure whether it was going to get there or not... and I loved the house.

I loved the house, too, but where was the bathroom?

I want to see this. I loved the movie Frequency, found it fascinating.

I wondered that as well, NT! The ending could not have been any other way since the whole theme is about time and waiting for the "perfect" time. *sigh* There were eight people in the theater yesterday...four groups of two women each. Definitely a chick flick.

Vee, there weren't very many people at the theater Saturday afternoon when I went to see it. It was mostly women, but I did see two men (one middle-aged and one elderly) who were each alone.

Nor were there Saturday afternoon. Didn't check for man/woman ratio - just relieved there weren't children...LOL! The house had shades on it -- I assumed the bathroom had them around it. Or maybe there was the lake...

No bathroom. Probably belonged to Jack Bauer at one time.

I loved this movie. Just got back from seeing it. I hoped and cried and sat on the edge of my seat willing things to turn out the way I wanted them to. Loved the music, too. There were quite a few people in the theater this afternoon. Mostly women but there were a few men, some alone, some with their wives. Quite a few teenaged girls were there also. There was a huge age range from young teen to people who looked to be in their late 70s. All in all it was a very good afternoon. I'll definitely buy this movie when it comes out on DVD.

From the outside it looked more like a conference center type place. Where was the "attic" - couldn't see it from the outside (where it seemed every outside wall was a window). 'squeek'

Kona, I wondered about the attic as well, but was much more concerned about the bathroom. I do remember seeing what may have been walls in 2 different parts of the house. I'm thinking maybe one was the bath and the other a closet.

Yep, although I'm modest and wouldn't want an exposed bathroom, the notion of somebody seeing IN MY CLOSET would scare me to death!

I went to movies.yahoo and searched for The Lake House and they have several pictures of the glass house (sorry can't resist - bet they don't throw many stones there!) but it really is hard to tell much about it. It looks like there are drapes that can be pulled to hide areas and there is an area that could be the attic (if you are looking at the picture it would be on the right side). But no good pictures of Keanu's best "asset!"

I recognized the building I last worked in and Miller's Pub, a restaurant and bar, across the street. It's the one that's kind of dark with a lot of wood and colored glass. Couple of scenes were filmed in there.

I do have to say that it was mostly couples when DH and I went to see it last weekend. We both enjoyed it. I too am a Sandra Bullock fan. I love to see all the roles she does.

What was the name of the movie where she played the computer nerd who got caught up in this wild software fixing scheme? That was a pretty good one too.

Roxip: It was "The Net". Good movie. I remember getting caught up in that one.

I loved this movie. I don't care what was plausible or what wasn't. I am a hopeless romantic and just wanted these two to find happiness. There seemed to be so much sadness.
