 Message In A Bottle (DVD)
 Message In A Bottle (DVD) ... a Bottle can be just the ticket. Based on Nicholas Sparks' bestselling novel, this handsome but overly calculated romantic tale stars Robin Wright Penn as Theresa, a Chicago Tribune researcher who finds a note encased in a green bottle that has floated onto a Cape Cod shore. The message within is a heartfelt, yearning declaration of love to a woman named Catherine but the author is unknown until Theresa (rather improbably) tracks him down in North Carolina. He's Garret Blake (Kevin Costner), a taciturn builder of sailboats and a grieving widower whose late wife, poetically speaking, was the intended recipient of the seafaring note Theresa found. Theresa, a divorcée with a son, decides to meet Garret, only to find him as bottled-up as his message. Nevertheless, a romance blooms on the strength of quality time in a sailboat and lots of cuddling, though the script tosses in bits of conflict to keep their relationship spicy. Directed by Luis Mandoki (When a Man Loves a Woman), this love story is entirely by the numbers, with Costner inhabiting (rather than performing) a stock fantasy of a man perfect in every way save his broken heart. Penn brings more vibrancy to her equally predictable part but fortunately for all, Paul Newman, John Savage, Robbie Coltrane and Illeana Douglas are on hand in nicely textured character parts. Sometimes predictability is exactly what one wants when settling in for an evening of home video, and this movie fits the bill nicely. The appealing cinematography is by ace cameraman Caleb Deschanel. --Tom KeoghNewest Review: ... a once in a lifetime event where reporter, Theresa, played by Robin Wright Penn, happens upon a bottle in the sand of the ... more ... beach where she is jogging that carries a note that tells of regret, love, and devotion to a lady called Catherine. Intrigued, she shows this to her workmates, and her boss played by Robbie Coltrane, publishes it in the Newspaper, much to her disapproval.
Where the story goes from here is where the enchantment starts as little by little people respond and produce other letters that are found that are similar, and with the use of clever detective work, they find the author, Garrett Blake, played by a wonderfully sexy ...more |

Most people have a favorite genre when it comes to watching videos but I’m just as content watching a full blown weepie as a low budget horror so it’s hard to put into any bracket exactly what makes a good film for me. Message in a bottle is undoubtedly one of the aforementioned weepies so much so that even in my pre-hormonal phase I needed an entire lorry load of kleenex to watch it. It stars the somewhat talented but usually over dramatic Kevin Costner (JFK, Dances With Wolves) stars as Garret Blake, a shipbuilding/restoring widower and Robin Wright Penn (Forest Gump) as Theresa a divorced journalist with a soft spot for romance. After ...

This movie first appealed to me, because as a child I was always fascinated by messages in bottles, I remember hearing on the news about a young boy in England who had found a bottle with a message in it while walking along the shore - it was from another young boy in France. I thought this would be so cool, so everytime I was at the beach, I always scoured the shore for a bottle - the only thing I ever found was empty coke tins! Oh well! I digress? So what's this movie about? Theresa (played by Wright Penn) is a journalist who works for a major American Newspaper. She's constantly on the look out for a new story. Theresa is ...

A few months ago, while channel hopping I saw that ?Message in A Bottle? was about to start, and while I have never before felt the urge to watch it, tonight was different. I wanted to relax and be entertained, which is a novelty for me nowadays. The film is based on the novel by Nicholas Spark, and has transferred very well to the big screen. The film begins with Theresa played by Robin Wright Penn, who works in the research department of The Chicago Tribune, finding a message in a bottle while out jogging on the beach. The letter is written to someone called Catherine, and it is full of wishes. The writer has many wishes that they did not fulfill ...
