Message in a Bottle


A rather thin plotline - a woman journalist finds a bottle on a beach with a heart-wrenching letter from a recently widowed man. She tracks him down and begins a relationship with him. Apparently a weepie, so be warned.

Visitor Comments

Jacques Boshoff: A very good movie! Paul Newman is a star, as well as Robin Wright Penn. Bring the tissues with.

Heather Lloyd: This movie was sexy.

Ak Ross: A good moral at the end of the movie, something many should heed.

Simone Joseph: A beautiful love story. It makes you want to be loved and share a love just like theirs. Lots of tender moments and plenty of tissues needed!

Leigh Samanek: I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Guinevere Vos: I wish this film had been given more press - it was so beautiful and romantic. The chemistry between Costner, Wright-Penn and Newman is hardly ever achieved in films. The Most Underestimated film of the Year.

Samantha Ruggles: Loved it! It's was so romantic and true to life.

Otto Lock: After being ''Swept away'' by this endearing movie about the celebration of Love, i have decided not to get married until i have found a Love as Deep as that found between these two characters in this BEAUTIFUL movie! I LOVED IT!
