The Lake House [2006 film]

An unusual film with a time-warp theme in what is otherwise a pleasant romantic story with a satisfying ending. Refreshingly "PG" in nature, though unlikely to be of any interest to children or younger teens.

Excellent acting with believable chemistry despite a surreal premise that separates the two main protagonists who are connected by a kind of portal in the form of a mailbox.

Recommended if you don't mind suspending reality entirely - trying to work out potential plot holes is too confusing.

Captivating novel of a family in which changing identities alter relationships. Children grow-up, young adults mature, and parents deal with change in different ways. This book shows us that the love between family members is always there, although its expression is altered with time and experience. Human vs. avian DNA.

Summary: "A lonely doctor who once occupied an unusual lakeside home begins exchanging love letters with its newest resident, a frustrated architect. When they discover that they're living two years apart, they try to unravel the mystery behind their extraordinary romance before it's too late." (from WorldCat.org)
