What I really hated: They destroyed the space-time continuum.
The Lake House is a photocopy of the Korean film "Il Mare" and for the most part it does a decent job of making it a Hollywood romance. There are many nice moments, some tear-jerking moments but then the movie falls apart when the Hollywood folks try to turn the original tragic ending into a happy one. The problem is, creating a happy ending just defies the whole love across time logic. It's an impossible ending.
What I really hated: The silly twist near the end.
The prestige begins by explaining to the viewer the three acts of a magic trick. So the viewer expects to see something clever at the end, a simple logical trick for the whole movie that sounds plausible. Instead, the movie does this bizarre science fiction twist near the end that just ruins the whole story. Also, there are two antagonists in the movie and no real hero to root for. Such a shame since the movie was well made.
