I watched this last night. Widowed boat builder and repairman
Kevin Costner puts a message to his dead wife in a bottle off the Carolina coast and beautiful newspaper column researcher Robin Wright Penn finds it while on holiday on Cape Cod. The whole movie was actually shot in Maine and looks it.Anyway, she returns home to Chicago and does research on the bottle and the paper and typewriter and tracks Costner down. He lives in a coastal cottage with his father, Paul Newman. He is still fighting with his in laws over the dead woman's paintings, which he refuses to give them. Naturally Costner and Wright fall in love and he travels to Chicago to see her and meet her son (she's divorced). They break up when he finds out the reason she came to meet him and then get back together later. Then a tragedy occurs. So so, marred by Costner's customary wooden acting. Beautifull cinematography, however.
Follow Ups:
Romantic comedies are hard to do right. You always know the outcome of the plot, so what makes a romantic comedy good is what happens along the way. You knew Harry and Sally would get married. The beauty of that film was the trip you took to get there.While watching this film I wanted to get out of the car before we got out of the subdivision. The trip itself left little to the imagination. No suprises. Nothing unique. Nothing particularly fun. Costner is who he is, generally introverted. Which was fine for this role, because that is his character. But the plot plods along a predetermined course, without any fun.
I agree witrh your comments but I don't think that the film makers intended this to be a comedy. More of a romance.
Mea culpa. Must have been a braincramp.
What else can be said about this silly little film?
