Message in a Bottle

Pros: characters, story line
Cons: i can't think of any

This movie will make your heart melt. Kevin Costner, Robin Wright, and Paul Newman were wonderful.
The movie is about a woman who goes vacation one day and finds a bottle on the beach with a letter in it. The letter touched her heart and so she...

Pros: great acting---good plot
Cons: sad

I'll start out by saying that Kevin Costner has never really done it for me as an actor. I think he is always cast well in the movies that he has starred in, but I have always thought he was a little "boring". I changed my mind after seeing Message In...

Pros: emotionally-engaging, tear-jerking
Cons: none

Message in a Bottle even made my big, strong, manly husband cry.

This is a beautiful tale of love and life and all the little happinesses and grave sadnesses life brings.

Kevin Costner plays a widower who thought he would never be...

Pros: Tear-jerker, a must-have movie
Cons: Don't miss the 1st hour - the set up is important

Knowing we'd never see this in the theater (three kids - who can afford a sitter?!), I couldn't wait for it to come out on video. HBO made it easier for us to watch, by putting it on at 7pm on a Saturday night.

Right from the beginning, the...

Pros: Powerful and moving.
Cons: Very sad.

This is the movie that made me a Kevin Costner fan. I hated Dances with Wolves. Waterworld was one of the worst movies I've ever seen, and I thought he wasn't man enough to play Wyatt Earp. In Message in a Bottle, though, Costner proved that he is a...

Pros: Love Story
Cons: Makes you cry through out the whole movie

I just got finished watching this movie and I still have tears in my eyes! I know that the movie is based on a novel, but I have not read the book yet. I know that many say that the book is always better than the movie, but I feel that this movie was...

Pros: A Haunting and bittersweet love story
Cons: Get ready to sob for a few hours

I never thought I would say this...but this is the first time I've ever felt that the movie aced out the book by far.

I read Message in a Bottle last year and found it to be a lovely, but not necessarily captivating story. While I enjoyed the...

Pros: Very touching story, great cinematography
Cons: tear-jerker -- or is that a "Pro"?

This movie greatly exceeded my expectations! My husband didn't even roll his eyes through this wonderful love story! It affected me in ways I never expected. It evoked feelings I'm not sure I will ever get over.... Someone else titled their review,...

Pros: Beautiful story about love after loss
Cons: The ending, which I won't give away

This movie requires that there be a box a tissues near by. It is a story about finding love after losing someone you loved the most in life.

Robin Wright Penn plays Theresa, a reporter who happens across a letter placed in a bottle. She brings...

Pros: Beautiful love story
Cons: not

I have read the book, but it is so much better when Kevin Costner brings it alive on screen. I caught myself getting lost in the movie more than I had ever done in the book. The way he spoke of his first wife was sweet but there was a part of me...

Pros: Touches the complete range of emotions
Cons: ....?

I did not read the book, but saw the movie, and fell in love with it.

I enjoy watching movie after movie on rainy Sunday afternoons, but after Message in a Bottle I had my fill.

Kevin Costner and Paul Newman, for one, make an...

Pros: finding true love
Cons: the ending of the movie

MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE was a fantastic, yet disapointing film. How could it have been BOTH, you ask? Well, this really lonely journilist from Chicago took a weekend vacation out on the Cape and as she was jogging along the beach, she comes upon this bottle,...

Pros: The acting, cinematography, and plot are great
Cons: Those aren't tears-I have salt water in my eyes

My wife and I first saw “Message in a Bottle” when it was still playing in theaters. She claimed that she was going for the story [but I think she said that because she couldn’t decide between Paul Newman or Kevin Costner]. I know that I went...

Pros: great story
Cons: none

I cried for hours after watching this one. We waited for this one to come out on video because I really didnt think it would be that good. Oh Boy! I wish I would have saw it in the theater. This is a love story that will grab your heart. Great...

Pros: great love story, Costner is great
Cons: most men won't like it

I saw this movie because I absolutely love Kevin Costner and just feel the need to see any movie he stars in. This is a great love story, but probably one more women would enjoy than men.

A Chicago journalist finds a love letter in a bottle...
