22 Jun - I've seen Message in a Bottle several times now and
I find the movie funny and sad at the same time. It was a great romantic
drama and Kevin played his character absolutely terrific, and he was so
great with Paul Newman as his father. I have the movie poster from the
premiere and I can't wait until it comes out on video ! Kevin Costner,
you're a wonderful actor, I'm one of your biggest fans. Keep making good
movies ---------- and the best of everything to you ! Thank you for letting
me comment. -- B e v .
19 May - I loved the movie, Kevin was perfect as Garret. It's
so refreshing to see good movies made again about love, romance and character.
... I watched as many times as I could in the theater and still want to
watch it again, and again. -- Thanks, Darlene
7 May - I thought that Message In a Bottle was an extraordinary
movie. It was romantic and very thrilling at the same time. The movie makes
you relax, even if you're in a tense mood. Kevin Costner was just awesome.
Well, thank you for listening to me! -- Nicole
7 May - What a wonderful film!!! My Kevin has spent a career
making great movies but in this one, he acts his socks off!! Wright-Penn
gives an honest portrayal of a woman finding love ( even wanting to set
the right mood... "Let me tidy my room up, light a few candles and ...take
a shower...."; and Paul Newman and Costner bonded so well it would be a
great pity not to renew that on- screen male chemistry in the future. Funny,
romantic, moving; for anyone who ever hoped that there is more out there,
if a soul dares to take a risk.... I've seen it twice in three days.
Do yourselves a favor and get lost in an ocean of visual images, tidal
musical moments and the sea-green of Kevin's eyes, and be prepared to want
to find "your true north"... Kritina, Belfast.
17 Apr - I thought that Message In A Bottle was a GREAT movie
but I didn't really like the ending. I fell that Garret shouldn't have
died. I hope that you make a second Message In A bottle were Garret (Kevin)
sends letters to Theresa (Robin),and other people find them. Then Theresa
reads the paper and sees that her true love really isn't dead. So she sets
off to find him and when she does they get married. -- Kristen
7 Apr - Message In A Bottle was very moving and poignant film.
The writing in this movie touched my heart. In fact, I got a journal
because of this movie! I know that this sounds pretty silly but what the
hey! -- Nancy
3 Mar - The movie touched my heart and soul. I have never been
so moved by a movie, until I watched message in a bottle. I thank all the
people who put so much effort and passion that made this possible. Words
can't describe how I feel. Thank you. -- M
