 Message in a Bottle November 17, 2008
I first saw this film while in The States a few years ago. When i did track down a copy i wasn't disapointed as i remembered. This is a chick flick film, but saying that my husband did enjoy it to. Its a romantic story where a single man ( Kevin Costner ) who lives near to his father ( Paul Newman )falls in love again.
Moving... October 31, 2008
Have seen this movie for at least 5 times now. Still like the setting, the locations, the atmosfere and everything else. Costner is fantastic, Robin Wright Penn just lovely and Paul Newman just belongs there.
 Total Rubbish January 30, 2008

Well for those not reading novels and watching Sci-fi, action, thriller movies this might be a change and they might like it but for me it was total nonsense. I am about 23 and been reading and watching novels (from 'Great Expectations' to 'Dr Zhirago', From 'Love Story' to 'A Walk to Remember' and 'Legend of the Fall' all are some of the best novels and some filmed too) for about 15 years and this movie and its content was the most rubbish i can imagine. Total waste of time and money. Even the climax of the movie had no attraction what so ever. I've seen many movies and read many novels where the main character/characters dies/die but here the way he died for no reason and in an unrealistic man-made satuation, I can not believe i bought this movie and look at its name, from its name seem a deep and good novel but inside its total crape. Believe me or dont say I didnt warn you.
Reminiscent of 'A Walk to Remember June 14, 2007

I thought that 'Message in a Bottle' was a great movie, definitely one of Kevin Costner's better films in recent years. Unlike the last reviewer, I did not feel that the movie was too long, although I saw it on television and it may have been cut considerably. Robin Wright Penn and Paul Newman also put in excellent performances and follow a great plot by Nicholas Sparks. It is quite an emotional film about losing and finding love; a real tearjerker. The beauty of the North Carolina location adds to the background of the movie and heightens the depth of emotion expressed by the actors. The film is reminiscent of 'A Walk to Remember (also a Nicholas Sparks novel turned film) and will probably be enjoyed by the same audience.

This is almost a good movie. It has all the ingredients, but there are one or two serious flaws that make it less than "swept away". The first is that Kevin Costner is really quite dreary, as if he was phoning in his part. It is also implausible that he would not wear his lifejacket at the end (picky, picky). The second flaw is that the love story loses some of its energy towards the end, for reasons that are not clear. The first wife should have had a bit more of a role, given that she drags her lover down into the ocean for the temerity to pick up with another woman (cf. Rebecca).
The best thing in the film is Robin Wright Penn, who is as beautiful as a shower of gold. It is completely implausible that her first husband, or any man in his right mind, would have left her.
