Wouldn't he want to send it to her apartment? Of course he wouldn't on some level he already knows this is a magic mailbox. Alex Wyler (Keanu Reeves), a hunky, disaffected architect, moves in and leaves a tart note in response. Kate Forster (Sandra Bullock) moves out of her lakefront house - a glass-and-steel contraption that looks like one of Frank Lloyd Wright's minor burps - and leaves a note in the mailbox telling the new renter where to forward her mail.
Here's where I tell you about the plot, and be advised that it makes as much sense as eggs at a barbecue. It's called romantic melodrama, children, and it's nothing to be ashamed of.

Either way, the most appropriate setting probably isn't a movie theater but your own couch late at night - blanket and Ben & Jerry's optional. You can enjoy a movie like this straight up and have a good, happy cry, or you can enjoy it as an outrageous camp hoot. How much sweet, dumb fun is it? More than you might want to admit.īased on a 2000 Korean film called ``Il Mare," ``Lake House" falls squarely in the genre of overripe early-'90s chick flicks such as ``Ghost" (1990), ``Only You" (1994), and ``Untamed Heart" (1993), the last forever enshrined as ``the Christian Slater monkey heart movie." Such films believe love can break through time and the great beyond, and they're willing to employ gauzy lenses, retro pop songs, and dazed-looking Hollywood stars to seduce moviegoers into their tender traps. How deeply silly is ``The Lake House"? As silly as a movie about two letter-writing lovers separated by a wrinkle in time can be.
