The plot of The Lake House is a little too convoluted, and the film fails to pull off the sweeping romance it aims for.

Maybe I'm just overly romantic or sentimental or just plain naive, but I probably liked The Lake House more than I should have.

Time-travel films often bring up a lot of questions, and they often fall apart with thoughtful scrutiny, but that's part of the fun. However, one shouldn't be wondering that the only benefit these two have with this magical mailbox connection is that they

Endless implausibility, cheesy dialogue, and the inert personalities of its charisma-zapped leads conspire to doom this chilly magical mailbox love sham. Nice soundtrack, though.

Agresti has effectively skirted around hard logic with his velvety presentation.

While it’s not the worst entry from either actor, it’s certainly another lame-brained blemish in their careers.

You know the picture is in trouble when the best actor is the dog and the dog isn't even named Lassie.
