The Lake House

IMDB synopsis: A lonely doctor who once occupied an unusual lakeside home begins exchanging love letters with its former resident, a frustrated architect. They must try to unravel the mystery behind their extraordinary romance before it's too late.

This movie was... different. The actors were great, the script was great, the plot was a little odd, and it was full of strange coincidences. I originally thought that it was just a romantic drama, but soon learned that it was also a fantasy, and I guess it could even be considered sci-fi. I liked the idea of the two communicating through time, but I didn't like how certain things could be changed between the two times (like the flag on the mail box) while others couldn't (pretty much the whole ending). The ending really annoyed me, as it kicked the sci-fi part of me into over gear thinking about how impossible the events were. Putting the impossibilities aside though, it was a good movie, and a good romance movie to watch with your sweetie.

I give it a 7 out of 10.
