This is probably a good date movie, but its people are all too nice to be true and its attitudes seem decades out of date. Even Robbie Coltrane, as the heroine's crusty editor, palpably has to button his jacket to hide his heart of gold. Boat-builder Kevin Costner, consumed by grief over the death of his wife, for which he blames himself, throws two messages in bottles into the sea, declaring his guilt and undying love. One is picked up by newspaper researcher Robin Wright Penn and, well, okay smarty, you can guess the rest of the story. Yes, she finds him and falls, he follows her to Chicago, discovers the offending bottle and walks out. Kevin's crusty old father Paul Newman, waistcoat scarcely concealing his own heart of gold, tells him to choose between yesterday and tomorrow. And there's more... Performances, Newman's apart, are on the dull side, but if you cry easily at romantic films, give this a try. The photography's pretty.
