His motto: "I see bad movies so you don't have to."Time warp disaster at “The Lake House”
Endless implausibility, cheesy dialogue, and the inert personalities of its charisma-zapped (remember “Speed?”) leads conspire to doom this chilly magical mailbox love sham that stars Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. Throw in an utterly deceitful conclusion and the only hanky you’ll use is for the time wasted. Nice soundtrack though.
Grade: D+
Rated PG for language and a disturbing image.
