Three sentence movie reviews: The Lake House

This was one of those movies where I had to just go with it, because when I started thinking too much, the movie didn’t work.*  It’s also one of those movies where I like Keanu Reeves’ acting.** Overall, a lovely night at the Haus-cinema.

Cost: free from library (I had to wait. There were holds)
Where watched: at home.

*That scene from Looper comes to mind:  ” I don’t want to talk about time travel, because if we start talking about it then we’re going to be here all day talking about it, making diagrams with straws.”

**God love him, but sometimes his woodenness gets to me.

  1. This is one of those films that I objectively understand as “not good” but I like it anyway. Sometimes you just have to let yourself be entertained, I think. Keanu Reeves seems like such a lovely person that I forgive him all of his acting sins. (I adore this video of him getting weirded out by Whoopi Goldberg’s pubic hair conversation: https://youtu.be/aIpS15Wyhjo)

    1. I think it’s good in its own way, but not in one of those ways that results in laudatory movie reviews.

      That was a great clip! You are winning the comment YouTube clip award between this and Niagara Falls.
