Kevin Costner and Robin Wright Penn star in this truely terrible, stomach-churning film
The story - Penn plays a Chicago Tribune researcher who finds the message ina bottle on a beach. After her boss publishes the contents, other messages appear (as they would). Penn tracks down the author, and she travels to see him (Costner). Of course, she does not reveal the reason for her visit (that would be to easy), and guess what? She falls in love with him.
This film is predictable but yet unbelivable Could Costner really be obsessed with his dead wife and still love Penn- a woman with whom he has nothing in common? Maybe, but there is no effort to show what draws these two very opposite people together. Their attraction is assumed.
This makes for a very dull film. If you do insist on watching it, drink lots of coffee first, you'll need it.
I would rather watch the Postman
