Is The Lake House a chick flick or what? - Blu-ray Forum

nycomet · 02-12-2008, 08:46 PM

With the B2GO going on at Amazon, I was wondering if The Lake House is a chick flick?

Has anyone here seen it?
Is the story any good?
Is this movie worth owning?
How about PQ and SQ?

I have to decide if I will get this BD from Amazon or buy something else.

Thanks.

It's only good to watch it with a chick and it's really boring (IMO). I wouldn't recommend buying that rather renting it first at Blockbuster or Netflix. Overall, it's a chick flick

A very lame chick flick, my wife made we watch it. I thought for a second about getting it through the deal, but then realized, I would probably have to sit through it, so I got her Lady in the water instead.

DetroitSportsFan · 02-12-2008, 08:57 PM

Yes, chick flick.

bhampton · 02-12-2008, 09:06 PM

I tried to watch it but gave up after a while and sent it back to Netflix.

It didn't seem bad, I just got bored with it.

By the way,

I did watch the lady in the water all the way through but I agree it was one of the worst movies ever. Even though I made it "through" that one and not the lake house.. I would pick up the lake house before Lady in the Water.

Lady in the Water was probably the worst movie I have ever seen. I sure hope the Lake House is better than it because I ordered it for the lady!

If Lady in The Water is the worst movie you've ever seen, you must not see to many movies.

Now are people saying it's boring and sucks because it's a chick flick and they don't like them, or is it actually a boring movie that doesn't go anywhere?

+1 on Lady in the Water, it was really disappointed with this movie (definitely not the best movie from M. Night Shyamalan)

Lake House also looks horrible!

There must be something else you could buy!

tracy · 02-12-2008, 09:23 PM

Well, I'm a chick and I loved it. It's one of my favorite movies. The Lake House has the best kiss scene ever. But, yeah my husband hated it. Definately a chick flick.

My wife loved Lady in the water, I thought it was horrible too. I think I actually liked lake house better, and that does not say much.

AlienHeadBoy · 02-14-2008, 01:53 AM

The lake house is a chick flick, but I thought it was worth watching at least once...not sure about owning it though. And I too only saw it on dvd, so I have no idea if the blu version is a good transfer or not.

Keiths Light · 02-14-2008, 02:31 AM

total chick flick, and not a very good one either.

Unowho · 02-14-2008, 12:36 PM

If you go to IMDB and look at filming locations, and google earth the "Lake"
zoom in, you can see the production trucks and boom cameras and even two copies of the blue/green truck he drove sitting on the road to the lake house.
Just a fun side note.

TLBradbury · 02-14-2008, 12:44 PM

I think you're all missing the best part of the disc! Go to the special features, and there's some bloopers there. In the scene where the car is hit and explodes, and crewman rolls a mannequin head down the street to Sandra Bullock - it is hysterical!

EDIT - Oh, Crap! I just realized I was thinking of 'Premonition' - I never did watch Lake House (my wife has watched it without me twice). What a moron. Maybe someone will wise up and take away my ability to post before 6:00 am.

Warnerbros2001 · 06-24-2018, 03:36 PM

It is more than just a chick flick.

MPeriolat · 06-24-2018, 05:17 PM

Eh, maybe. I think it’s palatable myself. I saw it with my then-fiancé as a date movie when we were just about to move in together. It was absolutely fine to my mind, no hate. Just not... outstanding.

We made the mistake of seeing Preminition together, another Bullock movie thinking we’d get more of the same. Ohhhhhhhh noooooooooo...

hockeyshark91 · 06-24-2018, 07:42 PM

Total chick flick with a bit more for it than that. Liked it when I watched it back a few years wit my ex fiancee. But because she's an ex, the movie has been tarnished in my view and has become unwatchable.

Michael24 · 06-24-2018, 07:45 PM

I thought it was a cute, charming little movie. Then again, I'm a hopeless romantic.
