Message In A Bottle
Romantic drama built upon one woman's discovery of a bereaved husband's ocean borne letters to his dead wife.
Plot
A woman discovers a tragic love letter in a bottle on a beach, and is determined to track down its author.
Verdict
So misjudged is the final "profound" development that in its sheer rumness you idealise a delightful situation where screenwriter DiPego somehow got his wires crossed with another Eastern seaboard drama. And as Costner casts off in his new spangly yacht - the embodiment of his dead wife we are bafflingly led to consider - a freak 30-foot Great White swims into his waters and he shockingly realises he's gonna need a bigger boat.
