2006 - Rated PG - 1 hr 39 min
Director: Alejandro Agresti
Starring: Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, Christopher Plummer, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Dylan Walsh, Shohreh Aghdashloo
I hate to admit this out loud... or in print, as the case may be... but I really like this movie. I know, I know. How cornball of me. But really, it's different. And it's a romance, which we already know I like. And even Keanu doesn't ruin it.
He's got good chemistry with Sandra Bullock. Which is probably why they keep getting paired up. And no, a speeding bus does not burst onto the scene and obliterate the lake house, sorry to disappoint.
It's just a pure and simple romance, with not so simple circumstances. And it's beautiful in this odd construction, weirdly relatable despite the time-traveling weirdness. Hey, if we blindly accept The Time Traveller's Wife, why not this? Right?
Anyway. I like it for its creativity. And for how much they make you sweat that ending!
