  Message in a Bottle Movie Review by Anthony Leong
While "Message in a Bottle" certainly aspires to be one of those sweeping romances, it falls short of that lofty target, leaving a somewhat muted feeling after the lights in the theater come back up.
While the film is certainly awash in spectacle, with many panoramic vistas of the eastern seaboard gracing the screen, the core of the story, the romance between Garret and Teresa, lacks emotional resonance.
Other than some nice scenery and some interesting character bits from the supporting actors, "Message in a Bottle" is an overly-long and emotionally-manipulative piece of fluff.

 Message in a Bottle: Cinephiles Movie Review
In Message in a Bottle, director Luis Mandoki creates a tragic love story which begins and ends in the sea, the film's true protagonist and the vehicle through which all transcendental events take place.
She finds a message inside it which tells of a man's grief for a lost love.
The sincerity and emotion with which the letter is written captures the spirit of all that seems to be missing in Theresa's life and in her aimless career as a writer.

 Message In A Bottle Movie Discussion
ok, the movie is most definatly great, ill give it that, but i have to say that you are missing out on so much of the meaning if you dont read the book.
although the movie is excellent and you can live the passion through these two characters, the book goes in so muc detail and you get tyhe full grasp on everything with Catherine, and dodge, and Theresa, and Garrett...you wouldnt believe the difference.
This movie was just one movie i picked up off the shelf at the video store, i had no clue how much it would touch me. I cried so much during it, but the tears were worth it.

Her boss (Robbie Coltrane) warns her, "You're thinking Heathcliff; he's probably Captain Ahab." Instead, what she finds, with the help of Garret's grizzled dad (a twinkly Paul Newman), is Costner in his most laidback performance to date.
With Message in a Bottle, director Luis Mandoki takes 131 minutes to tell what ought to be a 100-minute tale.
The Message in a Bottle DVD includes deleted scenes, which can be accessed with or without Mandoki's commentary.

In the new romantic drama "Message in a Bottle," all that the two main love birds do is ask each other and respond to questions.
Not really, but when a movie is trying to form romance chemistry, well, this is not the way to do it.
In the end, "Message in a Bottle" is a close call, but I do recommend it.

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.
"Message In A Bottle" is not only a beautiful story of real love, but one that is also a journey of self awareness, of opening up to the possibilities that life has to offer.It is one that you will probably need a hanky or two as well.It is for the lover of really romantic stories.
Message in a Bottle, brings to the screen the love story between a recently widowed man from a small fishing village in North Carolina and a divorced journalist out of Chicago.

As the first film made from one of my works, Message In A Bottle will always be special to me, and I suppose that I'll always remember all the events associated with the film.
Instead of going through all that again, I'd like to tell you about a couple of the events associated with the project that were most memorable to me. The first was the actual sale of the novel to Warner Brothers.

 JoBlo reviews the movie "Message in a Bottle"
This movie is a bit slow, has some nice romance, bordering on sappiness, some solid acting performances, and a hokey ending.
This movie does have some tender moments, along with some romantic touches, but over and above it all, it caters to a story line drenched in the incapacity of a man to move on with his life, after his loved one has passed away.
Mood-wise, the whole "feel" of the movie is very comfy and authentic, especially during the wooing sequences over the first half of the movie.

Message in a Bottle has the earmarks of sentimental tongue-wagging at its finest and should please romantics and cynics alike--it's sure to bring romantics to their knees, while cynics will be slapping theirs in laughter.
Inside, a message begins: "My Dearest Catherine, I miss you." Subsequent publication of the poignant missive in her column turns up two more letters, found by others, from the same mysterious writer, Garrett Blake.
Message in a Bottle is a unique romantic story and a fine novel.

About 75 percent of "Message In a Bottle" is waiting for the other shoe to drop.

 Bookreporter.com - MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE by Nicholas Sparks
I eagerly looked forward to MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE, but was troubled by some of the plot direction in it.
I also felt that the movie should have followed the book at the end by letting the audience know that a year had passed between when the man and woman last saw one another and her learning of his death.
The movie, however, I liked a lot, but it is hard to go wrong with that cast.

Based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, "Message in a Bottle" is a romantic gut-wrencher involving more pre-destiny love - a favorite theme for the (ahem) upcoming red-hearted holiday.
On a solo vacation, she runs along the beach and finds a message in a bottle.

 Message In A Bottle - Movie Review
Robin Wright Penn, you see, is married to Sean Penn, who snubs the Hollywood mainstream, and, if there are two words beyond "It Sucked" that describe Message In a Bottle, "achingly mainstream" would have to be my choice.
The basic plot of the terribly contrived story is that Teresa (Robin Wright Penn) discovers a message in a bottle while jogging in Virginia, consequently, she publishes this in the Chicago Sun Times and begins her search for the writer, a woman on a mission and in love (has Hollywood ever stopped insulting you, ladies?).
The direction consists of shots stolen from different movies: sex during a thunderstorm, a boat being launched, grainy film met to represent the past, a complete absence of sound during emotional pseudo-tension, and let's not forget the lightning flashing as Kevin Costner discovers the secret of Robin Wright Penn.
