Short excerpt from a movie review of Lake House:
A remake of the Korean film "Il Mare," "The Lake House" manages to defy any form of convention plot synopsis. As little sense as it makes in context, it makes even less on the page. Alex (Reeves) is a Chicago architect, Kate (Bullock) a Chicago doctor. Alex and Kate are corresponding with each other through a very romantic series of letters left in the mailbox of a lake house. They may be falling in love, but there's a bit of a complication (a minor one) -- They're living two years apart. For Alex, it's 2004, while Kate's in 2006. The only way they can communicate is through that magical mailbox, which is darned frustrating, though not nearly as frustrating as listening to one love letter after another narrated by Keanu Reaves, who reads aloud with all of the confidence of a precocious pre-schooler.

Magical mailbox you say? This movie sounds AWESOME.
