Message In A Bottle
"A radiant romance of sweet surprises and tender feelings. Beautifully acted" - David Sheehan, CBS-TV
Grieving widower Garret Blake builds boats for a living. Rebuilding his life - that's another matter. But that's before Theresa Osborne comes to his North Carolina village. Theresa, a lonely divorcee and researcher for the Chicago Tribune, knows Garret is the author of the message she found inside a bottle on a Cape Cod beach. And she knows the message spoke to her in a way that profoundly touched her heart.
Kevin Costner as Garret and Robin Wright Penn as Theresa bring high-voltage starpower to 'Message in a Bottle', a tale of love lost and found based on Nicholas Sparks' bestseller. "You choose - the past or the future. Pick one and stick with it," Garret's spry father Dodge (Paul Newman) advises. The advice sticks. So does the impact of this tender, movingly filmed tale.

watch this or nights in rodanthe .... same effin' story .... knew EXACTLY what was going to happen in this story because I watched NiR a few months ago ... but the NiR version is better in all ways, acting, script, direction ... and I think this is my last Nicholas Sparks based movie ... seen enoughCute, but not really surprising - Moosette
Maybe Im getting old, but this love story did not impress me much. It reminded me of "The Notebook", same author, and was way too boring for me. Why do the guy have to finish a project like a boat or a house (note book) to show how much he loves her? I really missed something more...deep. Somehow, if Garett has such a hard time to forget his previous wife, why dont we then se her in some more flask backs, so we can involve ourselves in her too? To me the story is good for a cosy brain dead evening, but dont expect more than klichees and a movie you can easily fall a sleep to.Message in a Bottle - maggie15
Kevin Kostner, Robin Wright Penn, and Nicholas Sparks? A trio like this, how can you ever go wrong. Because I hve live all my life on the Atlantic coast, I have combed many a beach in hope to find such a magical bottle. Definatly the kind of movie that gives us all that warm and fuzzy feeling that make you escape the real word if only for a couple of hours. Awesome!! will watch again and again.
