If any of you had seen love letter you would stop being such idiots and realise this movie is written after the old movie the love letter it is just brought to mor emodern day times.

Pretty soon, the movie will be not only screwed up in its chronology, but anachronistic as well. There are online post office boxes now that will pretty much take all the romance out of those rusty things with the flag.

I’m not a big fan of Keanu and I probably won’t see the movie, but I have to agree that for them to be corresponding two years apart isn’t so impressive. Heck, have them twenty years apart and have one of ‘em be a toddler who can’t write yet — now that would impress me! As for them using the magic mailbox to communicate, sometimes it actually takes twenty years to get your mail if it’s coming from a long way so I guess that part wouldn’t be too much of a stretch. Plus, if it’s 2004, wouldn’t you just exchange emails or phone numbers in the letters and bypass the USPS all together?? SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS!

PS: Paul, your version sounds infinitely funnier, but I have to say that I’ve never met a postman that I’d want to see naked.

Yeah…I agree, even though I haven’t yet seen the movie (and probably won’t until it comes to Netflix!) But…what is even more unbelievable is that both Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock are still being asked to make movies…and, being paid handsomely for them…and, actually calling themselves actors. Now that’s unbelievable! Keep up the good work…I just found your blog.

Well, my only question is…what possible power compelled you to SEE this movie? ‘Cuz, um, it ain’t even on my “maybe I’ll watch it on cable someday” list. Your version? Heck, yeah. But as is? Why?

I don’t get it!?!?! At the end of the movie are they BOTH dead?!?! I am totally flummoxed by this film.

Jen – Well, I’ll say that The Lake House is far better than Just Like Heaven. Man, that movie was ridiculous. I mean, even if ghosts exist – would you hang around your old apartment as a ghost? No way. You’d go to Paris.

I know this for a fact.

The premise for this movie doesn’t seem nearly as bad or far-fetched as that one with Reese Witherspoon playing a ghost who falls in love with the guy living in her old apartment – Just Like Heaven, or something like that? OMG, every time I saw the trailer (which was like every time I went to the movies for a three-month period), I wanted to throw popcorn at the screen, especially the part where her body is stuck in a table. Gah. And what about Jon Heder trying not to be Napoleon Dynamite? Ick. I never saw the movie, but I will admit that’s it’s somewhere in my NetFlix queue.

I haven’t seen this flick yet, but I’d say the real concept problem is that they’re only living TWO years apart. Um, okay, so you lived in this house two years ago so I send you a magic letter saying I want to hook up, so send me your current address and I’ll meet you there. What’s the problem? Three letters min. need to be exchanged, then he looks her up, wham, bam the movie’s over in 15 minutes. I mean seriously… If they lived 100 years apart I’d understand the dilema, one of them is dead after all or the other isn’t born yet, but two years!?! Come on. That fact alone will keep me from seeing this movie.
