Even if you accept certain things like melodramatic directing, non-dynamic (slow, boring)editing, there are still some things that have to bother any viewer who saw more then two films in his life. Dialogs like the one between Sandra Bullock and her mother where Sandra asks her "WHY DID YOU MARRY DAD" and mother replies "SO YOU COULD ASK ME THAT QUESTION"! And that's it, THE END OF SCENE. Why is it there in the first place?
THE BIGGEST FLUKE!!!
After they established their communication via the magic mailbox, one of the first things that Sandra(in 2006) writes to Keanu(in 2004) is that "she had a tough day, a man died on her hands at the Daily Plaza." As the first doctor who tried to help the man she would have surely remember his face, and his name too, because she would write a report, and death certificate containing his personal info.
Now as the film goes on we find out that they(Sandra and Keanu, both in 2004) have met and even kissed at a party. Sandra Bullock's boyfriend interrupts their kiss, now, every person can remember who did he/she kissed (assuming they weren't under influence of alcohol :)), especially if the kiss was seen by your boyfriend, and caused a brake-up.
Next, Sandra?(2006) figures out that IT WAS HIM!!! She immediately sends him a letter saying IT WAS YOU, and a lot of blah blah...
Where is the problem? Now we set the time-line.
1. They meet and kiss at the party
2. He gets killed in the accident
3. She figures it was him at the party, but not in the accident too.
She knows his name, She knows how he looks like and she remembers him from the party that occurred before the accident but she does't find out that it was him who died until the very end. HOW???
And at the end, He just shows up in front of the house, but what happens with his brother,and the rest of people in the world who think he is DEAD. What happens? Does he come to his brother and says Hi I'm alive now... An attempt to explain that, with CHANGE OF COUNCSNECES, does't do the trick, cause if that was the case Sandra Bullock is not immune to it, she would have to suffer the same consistencies. If he was alive she wouldn't be at the lake house at all, because there would be no need...
A cut-back to the restaurant with him showing up would be a better solution...
