(1 - 35) of 35 OFCS Rating: 43% Rotten Page   1   "Moving along like a turtle crossing the road, 'The Lake House' gave me a drowsy feeling that lasted all day. It was a real downer for me."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker A- "Lake House is hazy, low-tech romantic filmmaking, and its no shove policy is exactly why it works so well."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf C- "While the movie isn't as bad as its dubious trailer portends, it suffers terribly from a truncated narrative puzzle device that connects two lovers from different eras via an old-fashioned mailbox at a lake house."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "For all its impressionistic efforts, The Lake House doesn't imagine a time or space beyond romantic conventions. And you're left waiting. "   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2.5/4 "...an effective romance..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair D "You know the picture is in trouble when the best actor is the dog and the dog isn't even named Lassie."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2/4 "Supposed to be sweeping and romantic, but instead takes on an uncomfortable and creepy undercurrent."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 3/4 "The Lake House's opening credit sequence, during which calligraphic letters overlap and burst into plumes of smoke, is the first of the film's many charms."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B "A mature and earnest romantic drama that is far superior to the bubblegum we usually get."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2.5/4 "Sucks the magic right out as we wonder why the filmmakers and even the characters just aren't having more fun with the possibilities beyond improbably homaging Speed to bridge the two of them."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress C+ "The resolution, which attempts elegance and grace, is too abrupt and ill-considered to work either logically or emotionally."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2/5 "While it’s not the worst entry from either actor, it’s certainly another lame-brained blemish in their careers."   Film Threat   Felix Vasquez Jr. C- "Couldn't be more heavy-handed and schmaltzy: the supposed magic dust is poured on with a trowel rather than a teaspoon."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "A time-travel love story that salutes the spiritual practice of waiting. "   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2.5/4 "Even for those who buy into the basic ideas, there are credibility gaps that The Lake House cannot surmount. And for those who attempt to apply logic to this movie, everything will come crashing down like a poorly balanced house of cards."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 7/10 "Click here to read review"   Kinoblog.com   Jaroslav Vishtaljuk 2/5 "Just when we think we've come to terms with its brand of poorly-plotted silliness it ups the ante once more."   FilmFocus   Joe Utichi 6/10 "Maybe I'm just overly romantic or sentimental or just plain naive, but I probably liked The Lake House more than I should have."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "Anyone concerned over the rising price of postage should invest in a mailbox like the one featured in The Lake House."   Light Views   John Larsen 4/5 "A little under water, but it still floats."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 3/5 "The Lake House follows the pattern of a dime-store paperback romance novel."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr C+ "Costars Reeves and Bullock, back together again for the first time since 1994's "Speed," have more chemistry than ever, but they're stuck with a script with such a blatant disregard for time/space logic that the film rankles no matter how serious its char"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2.5/5 "Reeves y Bullock no interpretan el papel de su vida, sin embargo cumplen con las expectativas del público en un producto ligero de fin de semana."   Cinenganos   Luis Martinez 2.5/4 "A mess that works on the level of swoony fantasy if you're willing to accept that it makes absolutely no sense, not even within the context of its supernatural premise."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 4/10 "It could be a good idea, but the fantasy is leaden and refuses to play by the rules it itself set up. So it is not very good as a fantasy and it really does not work as a romance."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 3/4 "Reeves and Bullock bring the right balance of emotions to their roles. They give The Lake House its humor, its drama, and its undeniable romantic spirit."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B "Don't try to think it through too thoroughly. Just go with it. The tenderness of the story just might make it worthwhile. "   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/5 "Reunites the stars of Speed for a film that's beautifully shot but about as unspeedy as humanly possible."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B "The story makes no sense logically, but it works romantically."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 3/4 "Taps subtle, soft-spoken beats of a passionate and lonely heart that, in time, helps us forget the overall implausibility of the situation."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell "I couldn't spoil the plot if I wanted to, since I have no idea how it all ties together."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 4/10 "Time warps this time 'round."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 1/4 "Genuinely insipid."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 2.5/4 "An intriguing idea. Too bad the asteroid sized temporal paradox ruins the end of the flm."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell 2/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito  (1 - 35) of 35 OFCS Rating: 43% Rotten Page   1
