Theresa (Robin Wright) , a reporter from Chicago, ventures to New England and her life changes forever. While walking along the shoreline, she happens upon a bottle floating in the glistening waters. She opens up the bottle, and discovers inside a love letter, whose author was obviously smitten with whoever the letter was meant for. Theresa is overwhelmed by the letter, as are her coworkers she shows it to. The letter ends up printed in the newspaper, the public goes nuts for it, and her editor sends Theresa out to find the man who wrote the letter. Needless to say, she does find the man, Garret Blake(Kevin Costner), who in the midst of rebuilding his life. The rest of the movie is best left for the audience to uncover on their own, although if you think about it a little, I'm sure you'll figure it out.

Message in a Bottle is a romantic movie, and a predictable one at that. But, aren't all romantic comedies and such predictable? That's why people like them, they're uplifted by the love contained in those movies.This is a must watch love movie.Hope this helps you decide.Thanks for reading! :)

Great romance story. With (my favorite) Kevin Costner and Robin Wright Penn and not to leave out Paul Newman. Great group of actors. The title of the movie is exactly what the story is all about. How romantic, Robin Wright Penn actually finds a bottle with a message in it on the beach in North Carolina. Love found is the result of that message, great story, excellent acting, a "gotta have" movie.

Has been one of my favorite VHS's so I decided to replace with a DVD. Great movie! How could it not be? Everything is here.............the ocean, Kevin Costner, Robin Wright Penn, & Paul Newman! Then throw in a beautiful love story - another great one from Nicholas Sparks and you have a lovely way to spend a couple of hours! A fine investment!

All you ladies out there that love a good Love Story need to watch this Romantic and sometimes Comic movie. A message was found in a bottle floating off the caost. It ended up with a newspaper reporter who decided to investigate more to see where and whom it came from. She tracks the bottle and typewriter used to a small town in the Carolina's off the coast. The "man of her dreams" also happens to be the message writer. As time passes she receives 3 more messages in a bottle...2 wriiten by him and 1 written by his "late wife" before she passed away. What a tear jerker this is.... I think both men and women would absolutely love this movie. A little sailing and a lot of love combined.

I bought it to replace a Message in a Bottle DVD that had been loaned out, and never returned to me. I Love all Nicholas Sparks Books, and Movies! There isn't anything to dislike about this movie!
