For Women Only...

by George_Chabot George_Chabot is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, May 01 '00
Pros: Nice scenery, Newman in a bit part.
Cons: Lead acting, script, plot
Message in a Bottle (1999)

I saw "Message in a Bottle" last night on DVD on a high definition TV in the wide screen version.

The biggest impact I can remember was of the scenic beauty of the ocean, beaches, sail boats,...

Do you have Kevin Costner in a bottle? Better let him out!

by SeashellMiss , Jan 18 '01
Pros: Kevin Costner, unexpected ending
Cons: Paul Newman is only peripheral
I love chick flicks - the kind that require a whole box of Kleenex and the absence of any man who will roll his eyes at an on-screen kiss. Kevin Costner's top billing is the very first indication that Message in a Bottle is chick flick to the...

No Message in This Bottle

by jaxmom28 , Jul 21 '01
Pros: Paul Newman and Robbie Coltrane in small but effective roles.
Cons: The dialogue is often reaching and overblown.
What do you do with a life out of tune, when your fingers are numb, your lips blue, and the world, like a bowl of Jello, swallows you whole?

Do you take up flags and march yourself out to beat your drum, loudly, across the face of the moon?...

So who really wrote those messages in a bottle?

by honey0602 , Jul 01 '01
Pros: Kevin Costner
Cons: Kevin Costner
Message In A Bottle

After reading the book, I just had to see the movie. I must admit was not impressed with the movie. As with any novel and movie you expect things to change and of course what you imagine may not be what the director...

Nicholas Sparks hates us all. (For the ICBWPTAT W/O)

by yourcloud , May 17 '03
Pros: I actually like Kevin Costner.
Cons: Nicholas Sparks is an evil, evil man.
I had no idea what I was going to do for this write off... and then, out the sky on a big wheel, this flaming pile of dog poo landed in my lap. After I put the flames out and dealt with the char, the following was composed:

"Don't put off tomorrow what you should do today"

by linda1527 , Aug 21 '00
Pros: a great cast with good supporting roles
Cons: I'm not gonna say--
That's the main message of this movie, "don't put off..." I'm never gonna listen to the critics again-- that is, the professional ones. If I remember right, they did not give this movie high marks. How could anyone, man or woman not become...

A Good Message

by skygirl Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jun 21 '00
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...

"Message in a Bottle": Whatever You Do, Don't Uncork It

by stargull , Jul 11 '01
Pros: Robin Wright Penn and Paul Newman
Cons: Overly manipulative climax; way too long
Robin Wright Penn seems to be pining for Helen of Troy's job recently. In Forrest Gump she played Jenny, the drug addict after whom the lovestruck Forrest names his shrimp boat. In her newest film, Message in a Bottle, she is the...

Warning!!!! The ending Sucks

by jroberts80 , Mar 20 '00
Pros: Robin Wright did a good acting job
Cons: The ending was awful!
I watched this movie because I had heard it was so great. This is the only movie of Kevin
Costner's that I hated. I was devastated and mad. What was this writer thinking? This one
was even worse than City of Angels it made me cry but I loved...

An Elemental Reaction

by gungian Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 25 '00
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...

Sleepless in Chicago? And North Carolina?

by artbyjude Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Sep 18 '00
Pros: Photography, Sound Track, Paul Newman
Cons: Kevin and Robin, Melodramatic Tear-jerker
MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE echoes the loneliness of single people everywhere. It's a good story. The photography is stunning. I cried. But we have to face something, as hard as it may be for someone as sloppily sentimental as I am. Kevin Costner is no Tom...

Now I remember why I didn't go see it in a theater

by isinga Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 20 '00
Pros: The silent body english and facial expressions
Cons: They should issue a box of tissues with every viewing.
Most obviously, because this was promoted as, and recognized to be, a super-sappy romance. You know the kind I mean, a romance that puts women into trances. It is also the kind of super-sappy romance that I'm a particular sucker for. You know the...

Tears In A Bottle: The movie I'll never watch again.

by mocabela , Dec 19 '00
Pros: Good story, pretty scenery, very realistic, personal scenes.
Cons: Too realistic, slow to start, some irritating music, too depressing
I shed a few tears for City of Angels. Titanic had me bawling without restraint. Swept From The Sea left me staring at the screen, numb. But this long, drawn out film? I am never watching it again.

Costner should stick to baseball...

by Matt21 , Jun 24 '00
Pros: As tedious as this film is, Robin Wright is still hot.
Cons: Costner is trying to play something other than a baseball player.
I've noticed the general consensus of opinions on this film is favorable, so I'm probably risking my reputation as an "epinionator", but I feel this movie must be scorned(it's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it).
