Advantages: Soppy romance Disadvantages: Not the best Kevin Costner has done
...found a bottle with a message in it while walking along the shore - it was from another young boy in France. I thought this would be so cool, so everytime I was at the beach, I always scoured the shore for a bottle - the only thing I ever found was empty coke tins!
Oh well! I digress…
So what’s this movie about?

A beautiful message, so romantic, so much so that she finds herself falling in love with the author (Kevin Costner *who wouldn’t fall in love with him!*), even though she hasn’t met him. Back at the office, the boss (Robbie Coultrane) gets hold of the message and decides to put it into his column at the paper. The response from the public is overwhelming, and it turns out that others have found similar messages, ...

Soak on a Rope Review ofMessage In A Bottle (Wide Screen)by
Biggie
Advantages: Disadvantages:
Mark: Message in a Bottle stars Kevin Costner, Robin Wright-Penn, and special guest star Rose McGowan as the P.T. Barnum might-as-well-be-bearded lady. I don't know about you, Jerry, but I'm sending out an S.O.S. to the world!
Jerry: (smiling) Did you say "Massage in a Bottle"? I think that bespeaks a kind of bankrupt morality which is damaging to the spiritual lives of children!
Mark: Jerry, your tie's too tight! Proverbial strong silent type ... ...of depravity.
Mark: Message to all the ships at sea: Not since the heyday of Christopher Cross has Sailing been so dull. Kevin's a boat builder. Did you see the frame he was building, Jerry?
Jerry: (smiling) I certainly did, Mark. It was a triangular frame - lavender if I'm not mistaken. With a rainbow bow and black leather rigging. This is a sailing ship that role-models the homosexual lifestyle! They brazenly acknowledge that this boat will hoist ...
