Towards the end of the movie, Sandra Bullock's character is with her boy-friend in Keanu Reeve's character's brother's architect office in 1996, on Valentine's Day. She spots the drawing Keanu had done of the lake house and asks the brother where Keanu is. He says he died on that day two years earlier in 1994. She runs down the stairs, gets into the car, and goes to the lake house to write a letter warning Keanu Reeves not to come to the Plaza to see her in 1994. In the scene just after that one (or it could have been just before it), we see Keanu and his brother in 1994 walking together. Keanu asks the brother to come to his home that night to get a beer. His brother says that it is Valentine's Day and he is going to spend it with his wife and can't come over. Keanu stops and says "Valentine's Day, 1994" and gets in his truck to go to the lake house to look through the letters in the attic to make sure that Sandra Bullock was going to be at the Plaza that day in 1994. And all that makes sense. Unfortunately, the editor was not following the story and even though you can see Keanu's mouth say "1994", the editor deletes Keanu's audio "1994" and puts in the audio "1996." From then on the movie makes no sense. In order for the movie to make sense, Keanu had to be going to the lake house in 1994, the same time Sandra was going to the lake house in 1996. The editor made a huge mistake. [The story takes place after 2000 and not in the 90s: Bullock sits on the plaza in 2006. She tells him over and again in the letters and he says in the begining of their postings that it is 2004. So when he dies it's 2006. Furhtermore, she drives to the lake house begging him to wait for her 2008. ]

When Alex gives his dad the coffee, his dad comments on how hot it is. Yet there is a close-up of the cup, and not the slightest trace of steam is coming out of it. [Steam is produced not from excessive heat, but from a large contrast in the coffee and the surrounding air temperature. If the temperature in the room were 80 degrees, which is feasible, and the coffee temperature were 95 degrees, then there would not be any steam coming off of the coffee, even though Alex's dad considers it "hot".]

Every time somebody climbs to the attic in the "lake house", you see a small, dark, enclosed chamber with some abandoned stuff. However, as soon as you see the "lake house" from the outside, it is a single-level construction entirely made of glass, with no inside staircase or ladder, and three smaller glasshouses on the roof. There is not a single wooden panel to enclose the attic, nor any construction in the house that looks like it could be that attic. [There are two places on the roof of the house that could contain an attic. The attic seen is very small, and there are two raised areas on the roof, one on each side of the tree.]
