The Lake House (DVD)

The Lake House (2006) starring Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock. Remake of a Korean film about a magic mail box which allows two strangers, a doctor and an architect, to communicate with each other across a gulf of two years. The architect lives in the lake house in 2004, the doctor in 2006, yet when they place letters in the mail box the letters are delivered to the other as if by magic. There is never any explanation as to how this occurs, so don't look for one. If you can suspend your disbelief (a big "if"), you may find this to be a charming romance. There is an abundance of logical contradictions, but the chemistry between the leads is certainly good. Grade: B-
