The hype surrounding
The Lake House hasn’t as much to do with the film itself as the fact it reunites the stars of
Speed –
Keanu Reeves and
Sandra Bullock – for the first time since that film’s 1994 release. Reeves wisely chose not to be involved in the disastrous
Speed 2, while Bullock – still in the early stages of her film career – wasn’t so fortunate. The two have remained friends and although they weren’t actively pursuing a project to do together,
The Lake House enticed the
Speed stars to reunite on screen. They waited 12 years for this? They should have been more patient.
