The movie should have been titled, 'If These Lake House Walls Could Talk'

Don't ever put the movie Lake House in your rental queue!

Please trust me. Everything was pretty right about this movie except the stoic leading lady, Sandra Bullock. Romances are hard to pull off, but with all the evil glances Bullock gave throughout the movie, it was impossible. Plus, adding the hard to believe storyline, it was a struggle to get through the movie.

Keanu Reeves, oh-my-goodness, was a hottie in this movie, he is really growing into a Romantic Lead character. He looked into Bullock's stone cold eyes as if he loved her ever so passionately. The director, Alejandro Agresti, didn't take advantage of the great male lead he had. Agresti simply showed both actors equally, when one of the actors, Bullock, looked like she didn't want to be there AT ALL.

I do wish the movie worked out, I just saw Speed this week and Bullock is so cute, when she wants to. During the movie, I kept trying to figure out whether Bullock was intentionally making her character stoic, or if she really had a stick up her ass. Bullock was playing the part of a doctor who wouldn't let anyone get close, so I could understand the stoicism for awhile, but she should have eventually let her character soften and become lovable. After all, this is a romance, and women want to identify with the female lead.

On a side note, I could probably never identify with her regardless, she had such a lesbian haircut. Wait a minute! Lesbian haircut, stoicism around men, she was playing the part as a lesbian not ready to come out of the closet! Good move, Sandra, Good move.

Can't wait for the sequel, If these Lake House Walls could talk.
